5.24% daily ATR and they call this a safe deploy? stop would get clipped in an afternoon on xrp
That is why the stop sits at 1.35. -10.5% is just the price of admission on something this jumpy.
thats why the stop sits at 1.35, you size for the 5.24% ATR instead of pretending it away. position sizing does the heavy lifting, not the label on the trade
ADX 41.6 with 9 of 10 factors green and the only bear case is being 58% off 3.65. i mean, thats the entry, not the problem
ADX 41.6 is real but 9/10 green factors has burned me on alts before. i am laddering at 1.45 and 1.35 instead of lumping it all at 1.51
a 30k deploy on something with ADX 41.6 is fine, you just scale in tranches instead of market buying the whole thing at 1.51
9 of 10 factors green and RSI at 57.6 means there is still room before it gets stretched. the one bear factor is literally just distance from the high, which every alt has right now
vol ratio 1.55 with OBV climbing is the part people skip. someone is absorbing here, not distributing
30k into xrp under 2 dollars is bold but the staged deployment makes it survivable. stealing that 1.35 invalidation level for my own entry
