the backtest literally shows -11.5% with a 31% win rate and the verdict is still HOLD? that’s just buy and hold with extra fees lol
^ this. 26 trades off a 50/200 crossover in 2 years, slippage and fees ate whatever edge was there
Resistance at 0.79 has been the ceiling for months. If it clears that on real volume, the road back toward 2.08 opens up. Until then, 0.68 support is the line I’m watching.
ASTER up 25% over 3 months sounds fine until you see SOL at 68% and ETH at 48% in the same table. holding this feels like watching others leave
31% win rate across 26 trades and the system still says HOLD with medium conviction? think i’ll trust the backtest over the signal here lol
^ this. 26 trades in 2 years on a 2.35% ATR daily mover, the fees alone ate the edge
The backtest losing 11.5% while buy and hold made 10.9% tells you everything. Trend following on a coin with ADX 12.2 is basically noise trading.
Watching that 0.79 resistance. If it clears with the golden cross already in place this goes from HOLD to interesting real fast.
