WAIT signal yet the plan still hands you position sizing and a stop at 0.72. the system hedging itself lol
at least it is honest. ADX 12 means no trend to follow, deploying into that is how you get chopped
the sizing table existing for a WAIT signal is my favorite bug. 31% win rate says ignore it, ADX at 12 says there is no trend to wait for anyway
31% win rate across 26 trades and -11.5% total. idk how anyone reads that table and buys ASTER today
You say that like the BUY writeups are any better. Half of them are the same trend engine with more confidence.
a stop at 0.72 on a coin that regularly does 8% range days lol, that is just a donation to the exchange
fr, 8% range days on a 0.02 wide band means the stop is purely decorative. HOLD with ADX at 12 is the engine saying nothing, at least its honest this time
the 0.72 stop is 4% away on something that moves 8% a day. you would be stopped out by lunch
average daily range wider than the whole stop distance is the entire story. that sizing table assumes fills that dont exist on an 8 percent day
the 0.72 stop is donation framing alright, aster wicks 8% before lunch. HOLD is the only honest stamp the engine has
4 percent stop on an 8 percent daily range is a random number generator with fees attached. even the sizing table stopped pretending
the donation framing is correct. the average daily range is wider than the whole stop distance, thats a coin flip with fees attached
26 trades, 31% wins, -11.5% total. HOLD is generous, the only plan that table supports is no plan. revisit when ADX clears 20
the revisit when ADX clears 20 point is the whole story. every ASTER breakout since july died at the 50 day, no reason this one is different
the 50 day has been the ceiling since july, agreed. but the second this closes above it with ADX climbing, the same WAIT engine flips to BUY and everyone piles in late again
sure, but the last three closes above the 50 day all died within 48 hours. the flip to BUY thesis needs ADX confirmation or its the same headfake with a new stamp
every breakout since july died at the 50 day within 48h, so the BUY flip only counts with ADX over 20. until then the 31 percent win rate does the arguing
agree on the ADX 20 line. until then this is a coin that pays you in range compression and takes it back on the wick
Seven bull factors and one bear and the verdict is still WAIT. The 63.9% drawdown column doing more work than any indicator here.
26 trades at 31 percent wins is the entire argument. even the sizing table looks embarrassed, it exists but nobody should read it
26 trades at 31% wins and they still print a sizing table. the HOLD verdict is the engine admitting the stats section is decoration
26 trades is a weekend dart player sample size. ADX turning up helps nothing when the base rate is a coin flip, waiting outside is free
26 trades with 31 percent wins and the engine still prints a sizing table. confidence in the one section with no data behind it. ADX at 12 means the wait has no deadline
ADX at 12 is the market saying do nothing and for once the engine listened. HOLD is the first honest stamp in weeks
adx at 12 with the 50 day sitting right overhead is the market saying no trade. first stamp in weeks that actually matches the tape
