An 83.8% drawdown from 55.70 and the call is still HOLD with low conviction. At least support at 8.56 is doing all the work here.
that 8.56 support held twice already this month, thats literally the only reason im not fully out
backtest turned 30k into 17,389 and the verdict is still HOLD with 4,500 position size? that trade log would have me sitting on my hands
30k into 17,389 and the verdict is still HOLD lol. at least they sized it honestly at 4.5k, that log would have me paper trading for a year
tbf the system still beat buy and hold, -42 vs -59. in a market down 84% from high thats kind of the whole point
golden cross but price still under the 50d at 9.76. rsi 38 gives you time, wait for the reclaim before adding anything
this. averaged down 3 times since 12 bucks, not doing it again until 11.71 resistance breaks
discipline after averaging down 3 times is rare lol. id want 9.76 reclaimed before trusting any 11.71 breakout talk
9.01 now vs a 52 week high of 55.70 is brutal to look at, but +44.6% over 6 months? this chart is fighting itself
genuine question, stop loss at 8.02 but support sits at 8.56. why let it break support before the stop even triggers
right? a stop at 8.02 under support only works if 8.56 bounces first. feels like it was placed to flatter the backtest, not the chart
tbh a stop at 8.02 under 8.56 support is how you survive the wick that kills everyone else. its the invalidation level, not a bounce entry
same, watching the 9.76 reclaim before touching anything. rsi 38 means there is time, no rush on a chart still down 84 percent from 55.70
a 30k deployment plan on something down 84 percent from 55.70. at least the low conviction label is honest
