ada down 80% from the 1.32 high and the system still prints HIGH conviction buy lmao. trend followers really do live in a different reality. respect it tho, 0.25 with a golden cross is at least a real signal
Interesting that MACD bear cross is listed right there in the bearish factors and the verdict is still BUY with 7 bull vs 2 bear. The ADX at 32.3 does suggest the uptrend has legs, but I would wait for a retest of 0.19 support before deploying the full 35k.
^ the 0.19 retest point is solid. also look at the comparison table, SOL did +58% in 3 months while ADA did +25%. same trend signal, very different payoff
the SOL comparison cuts both way. 58% vs 25% on the same signal kinda just says you are measuring beta, not edge
0.19 is also where the Sep 30 bounce started though. ADX at 32 means the trend is already running, if you wait for a perfect retest you are paying 0.23+ when it never comes
signal history is like 9 buy/sell flips in 10 days for maybe +6% combined. spread and fees eat that. rather just hold the 0.21 200dma zone and skip the chop
