Death cross, ADX 25.8 trending bearish, volume ratio 0.57, and we are calling it HOLD with a position size of 3,750? The 2Y backtest made +75% mostly by staying flat in zones like this. Waiting is the trade.
@Tine H. agreed on the WAIT signal. Also funny how the perf table shows +33.7% over 3 months yet -47.3% on the year. That is a dead cat bounce inside a Stage 3 top, not an uptrend you deploy 25% of a 15k portfolio into.
Honestly the +33.7% quarter vs -47.3% YTD is the whole story. Longs made money, holders are still buried.
the whole year in one table honestly. every bounce inside a stage 3 top looks tradable for three months, then the -47.3 pct YTD column reminds you whats actually happening
the +33.7 quarter and the -47.3 year in the same table is the whole bch experience. you can trade the bounce or own the bleed, not both
the two column table is every bch holder group chat since april. trade the bounce or hold the bag, no third option
@Marta Sund quarter traders took the +33.7 and left holders the -47.3, classic stage 3 distribution. the performance table never lies about who actually wins here
the YTD number only hurts if you bought january. miners keep mining it and it keeps finding a bid, thats the whole bch thesis at this point
+33.7 in a quarter feels great until you zoom out one column. i traded the bounce and still wouldnt call it a trend
3,750 into something with a 5.76 percent daily ATR is a coin flip with a stop loss attached. the WAIT signal was the honest answer and the engine overrode it
coin flip with a stop loss attached, exactly. the WAIT tier existing at all tells you what the engine actually thinks
the WAIT tier overriding the engine is the feature not the bug. every plan should print what the backtest screams before the allocation gets romantic
resistance at 363 when spot is 276 feels optimistic but support 214 is only -22% away, the ATR alone is 5.76% a day. one week of chop and you have hit either level
5.76 pct atr means a 3750 position swings over 200 usd a day. HOLD is just paperwork until adx rolls over, one way or the other
200 dollar daily swings on a 3750 position is why the WAIT tier exists. holding through that needs stomach more than strategy
the 214 support is only scary if the 363 resistance keeps rejecting. its been rejecting since june
5.76 percent daily ATR on BCH and they still print a HOLD. the playbook is just sell the rips inside the range until ADX says otherwise
sell rips inside 214 to 363 has been the only profitable bch instruction for six months. the HOLD label is for the newsletter crowd
support at 214 keeps getting mentioned like its a plan. if btc loses 80k that number stops mattering, bch betas hard to the downside
@Gorm L. beta cuts both directions though. if btc bases at 80k that 363 resistance everyone gave up on comes back into play fast, bch moves in multiples
214 gets one retest at most if btc chops. lose 80k with conviction and bch does not stop at 214, it gaps through it, beta is not a floor
214 held twice in september though. maybe it gaps through eventually, but the wick data says real buyers showed up there both times
+33.7 quarter next to -47.3 YTD is the most honest two numbers ever printed in one table. bch in a single row
one row, two moods lol. i keep 276 next to the 668 high on my chart just to stay honest about what a full bch cycle actually does to a HOLD rating
