0.09 filled twice since august and everyone still pretends the retest is guaranteed. ADX 29.3 with vol ratio 1.8 says the trend may not wait for your limit order
half filled at 0.10 and half missed at 0.12 is still a win on an accumulation read. people treat limit orders like marriage vows
every ALGO rally since 2021 died at the 200 week. one clean reclaim there and this plan looks genius, until then its a range trade with extra steps
name one ALGO rally since 2021 that even touched the 200 week. the reclaim thesis is fine but that line has been a ceiling for half a decade, its not a baseline
fair on the 200 week ceiling, but obv climbing through the entire base is the part thats new. 2021 never gave you accumulation this clean before a reclaim attempt
9 bull factors sure, but the death cross at 0.12 while the 52w high is 0.60 is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. ADX 29.3 is strong tho, ill give em that
Backtest entry at 0.09 on the 17th and now signaling BUY at 0.12 is a clean +30% on paper. RSI 68.1 is warm but not overheated. The 25% cash buffer rule is the smartest part of this whole plan.
+30% on paper but backtests are always clean in hindsight. Would the 0.09 entry even fill again on a retest, or is that zone gone for good?
the 0.09 zone fills on any ADX cooldown, it filled twice since august. the risk isnt missing it, its watching 0.12 break without you
zones dont die that easy on an accumulation curve, OBV climbed thru the entire base. worst case is a half fill at 0.10 and you still sleep fine
the 0.09 zone held twice since august, id argue its alive until a daily close breaks it. a half fill at 0.10 with the 25% buffer intact still beats chasing 0.12 into strength
0.09 filled twice since august per the chart, the zone is alive. the real question is whether ADX 29 cools before price does, that decides if you get your fill
agreed on ADX, 29 with vol ratio at 1.8 usually means the trend still has legs. id stagger the 10k instead of lumping it in case the retest never comes
the +30 percent assumes your 0.09 limit filled on both wicks. paper entries always look clean, live ones get half a fill and a week of staring at the chart
got a quarter fill at 0.095 on the august retest and watched the rest never come back. half fills are just the tax you pay for limit orders
half fills on ALGO retests are a rite of passage lol. i just split my limit across 0.095 and 0.105 and stopped crying about it
ALGO at 0.12 vs a 0.60 high, ive been burned on this exact chart before. still, ADX at 29.3 with vol ratio 1.8 is tempting ngl
the 0.09 zone holding twice since august is the only reason im even looking at this. burned on ALGO in 2021 too but the obv accumulation was never this clean back then
10k spread across tranches with the final one at 0.09 is decent sizing tbh. not touching it before a retest tho, -80% off highs can always go -90
0.09 to 0.06 is the minus 90 scenario and even then the plan only risks tranches already filled. the sizing logic holds up better than the chart honestly
RSI 68.1 while half the thread agonizes over 0.09 fills is the real tell. momentum shows up exactly when the accumulation crowd starts doubting
25% cash buffer with tranches down to 0.09 is the only reason id read past the death cross. sizing saves more portfolios than signals ever did
