dude is calling BUY at 0.20 with MACD still red and 55% down from the high. trend following gonna trend follow i guess
thats the whole point of the system tho. you buy strength not bottoms, golden cross plus rising 50d is the signal. i still wouldnt size in big with MACD negative
the whole stage 2 pitch is you buy after the trend confirms instead of guessing the low. 0.20 with vol ratio 2.0 is the confirmation leg imo
trend following is literally the label on the box tho. id just wait for MACD to flip before even half a position
waiting for the MACD flip means paying 0.26 instead of 0.20. the whole stage 2 edge is paying up for confirmation
paying 0.26 for confirmation is still cheaper than catching 0.18 on a fakeout. stage 2 exists because stage 1 breaks hearts
waiting for the macd flip means your entry is 25 percent worse tho. the staged 35k plan is literally built for paying up slowly instead of all at once
thats the honest framing. people mock the 35k number but staged entries into a rising 50d beat the one shot fill almost every time
staged entries discourse on a 35k template is funny but correct. thirds into a rising 50d beats conviction fills at 0.26 every time
vol ratio 2.0 and OBV climbing since september is the part id actually trust here. accumulation looks real, the macro not so much
OBV climbing while price chops sideways is the oldest accumulation tell there is. still wouldnt front the macro
same read, obv grinding up since september while price sits flat. someone is quietly eating the 0.20 offers
0.20 flat for two weeks while obv grinds, someone with size is patient here. if arbitrum activity keeps climbing the speculators show up eventually
0.20 against a 0.46 high and they still want 35k deployed. respect the conviction but thats a knife with extra steps
35k isnt one entry tho, its staged buys across levels. knife catching with a schedule is just dca with extra vocabulary
lmao accurate. honestly the only part of these templates worth reading is the level ladder, the rest is decoration
the knife already landed tho. 0.20 with vol ratio 2.0 is a different trade than catching 0.40
buying strength 55% below the 0.46 high is a funny kind of trend following. respect the 35k conviction tho
golden cross talk on something 55.9% down from its high. the 50d can rise from a very low floor
fair point on the low floor, but vol ratio 2.0 is volume confirming before the moving averages catch up. leads not lags
vol ratio 2.0 on a 0.20 print is the one bullish line here. everything else is hope dressed as a golden cross
0.20 with OBV grinding up since september. if this is accumulation its the most patient accumulation of the year
obv grinding up since september while price sits flat at 0.20, someone is very patient. question is whether they priced the next unlock
obv grinding up while price sleeps at 0.20 is either patience or a trap. the 50d curl is why im staging a third and nothing more
0.20 flat for weeks while the 50d curls up from the floor is the part i trust. still only staging a third tho, arbitrum owes nobody a timeline
