Trend-following methodology: 50d/200d MA crossover + RSI filter + ADX regime gate
Data via Yahoo Finance / CoinGecko · Not financial advice. For educational purposes only.
1.47 support has held three times this year. if the 200d around 1.70 retests that is my first tranche, not before
Hard time with the verdict here. The system itself lost 66% on ATOM over 2 years with a 27% win rate, yet the signal is BUY? That contradiction basically writes the article.
27% win rate still works if winners run 2x plus, that is trend following 101. one big ATOM leg pays for five losers
Fair point, but the backtest window covers the death cross era. Price is back above both the 1.63 50d and 1.70 200d with an OBV volume ratio of 2.53, that reads like a regime change.
OBV at 2.53 is nice but Cosmos staking emissions run ~7% a year. regime change needs real buyers to outrun that dilution
DCA rows tell it best. Lump sum down 21% while 12 monthly buys only lost 7.3%. At 1.77 with support at 1.47 I would tranche in and set the risk line just under it.
