Trend-following methodology: 50d/200d MA crossover + RSI filter + ADX regime gate
Data via Yahoo Finance / CoinGecko · Not financial advice. For educational purposes only.
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
the signal IS the backtest when adx sits at 12, its the same data regifted. if 0.79 breaks on real volume ill care, until then this is a nap
31 percent win rate and they still printed a 15k deployment size. the engine prices conviction it doesnt have lol
lol the deployment number is the template not a recommendation, everyone reads these like the desk is shouting size
31 percent win rate with a 15k size is the engine being contractually optimistic lol. at least the HOLD label keeps the theoretical damage capped
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.
0.79 has rejected four separate attempts since august though. clearing it needs a volume print double the average, not another slow grind into it
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
the same table also shows the 2.08 ath tho. aster is a momentum toy, if 0.79 clears with volume the underperformance narrative flips in a week
0.79 has to clear three rejections since august first tho. cross or no cross, that ceiling is the boss level
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 hold is basically the backtest admitting defeat tbh. system lost 11.5 percent, holding is just the code shrugging
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.
26 trades in 2 years on a 2.35 percent daily mover, yeah noise is the right word. fees and slippage collect their tax either way
Watching that 0.79 resistance. If it clears with the golden cross already in place this goes from HOLD to interesting real fast.
0.79 rejected clean three times since august. a golden cross alone does not flip a ceiling like that, waiting for real volume is the correct play
golden cross already printed weeks ago and 0.79 still said no three times since august. the cross is the lagging indicator here, the ceiling is the live one
HOLD here is just fear of being wrong in print. it underperformed SOL by 40 points in the same window, medium conviction should read as pass
or the system is honest enough to say no signal when adx sits at 12. a hold label that stops you paying fees on noise beats a fake buy signal any day of the week
Holding something up 25% while SOL did 68% in the same window is a choice. The ladder plan makes sense only for people who already have the bag, new money has better charts.
watching 0.68 more than 0.79 here. every plan on this token bends around that support, lose it and the golden cross talk ages terribly
0.68 is the whole trade. three clean rejections at 0.79 above it, lose that floor and this goes from nap to haircut real fast
0.68 is also where the ladder plan fills start, so the system is basically long its own support. break it and every rung is underwater on day one
0.68 also being where the ladder fills start means the plan is basically averaging into its own support. lose that floor and the whole thesis resets a full leg lower
