39.6% off the high and the signal still says BUY lol trend following in a nutshell. to be fair both the 50d and 200d turned up so the system is just doing its job
the system has no opinion on tops, only on the 200d at 70335. everyone laughing at a BUY after a 39% drawdown held through 2023 the exact same way
71 trades across two years is under 3 a month. fee drag at that frequency is way overstated
39.6% off the 126k high and the system still prints BUY because price sits above the 200d at 70335. trend following in a nutshell lol
that’s the whole point tho, you trade the trend not the top. ADX at 40.1 means this move still has legs
adx at 40.1 agrees until it doesnt. that number collapses the second price chops under the 200d at 70335, id trail the stop hard past 80k
80k is where the 82262 resistance conversation starts mattering. clear it with adx still above 40 and the trend crowd gets vindicated, chop under it and the 72015 stop does its one job
That backtest is wild. 71 trades over 2 years, 49% win rate, and you still end up down 8% while barely beating buy and hold by 0.7%. Fees alone eat you alive at that frequency.
49% win rate is literally coin flip territory. the edge is supposed to come from cutting losers fast, not from being right often
the whole point is losers get cut at 72015 while winners ride toward 82262. coin flip odds are fine when the payoff is skewed like that
0.7% over buy and hold across 71 trades is a rounding error once slippage is in there. Marek is right, the frequency kills you
0.7% over 71 trades is before slippage. after it you paid for the privilege of learning you should have just held, still a cheaper lesson than most get
I’d weight the golden cross over the MACD here. Resistance at 82262 is the level to clear before deploying the full 10k.
stop at 72015 with entries around 76200 feels tight given 2.75% daily ATR. one red day and youre out, id widen it a bit personally
widening the stop just trades price risk for account risk. id rather eat the 5 and a half percent hit at 72015 and keep the size small
thats why the size is small tho. tight stop with 2.75% daily ATR means you take the 5.5% hit and re-enter, widening it just concentrates the damage
widening the stop is how a 10k plan becomes a 20k bag. take the small loss at 72015 and re-enter higher, that cycle is the actual edge in a 49% winrate system
re-entering higher after a stop out is the part people skip psychologically. eating 5.5% then buying back at 78k takes discipline most retail simply doesnt have
backtest literally ends on a SELL at 76207 for -3.7% and we’re deploying anyway. bold move
signals flip, thats the deal. the backtest ending on a -3.7 percent sell is exactly when reversal buys show up, you dont get one without the other
thats just how trend systems are, the last signal in a backtest is always the ugliest one. you deploy at 76207 because the next flip is where the 82262 payoff actually lives
thats literally how trend systems work. the flip from SELL to BUY at 76207 IS the signal. wait until it feels good and you are entering at 82k instead
5.5 percent risk down to the 72015 stop against maybe 8 percent up to the 82262 resistance. thin edge for a coin flip win rate, but i guess that is just trend following
defined risk is the whole pitch here. entry 76200, stop 72015, thats a known loss. half the people mocking the signal are holding bags from 120k with no exit plan at all
82262 resistance is the whole trade for me. price has leaned on it since the fall from 126k, the next test decides whether this is a range or a recovery
71 trades, 49% win rate, 0.7% over hold. The whole system lives on the 72015 stop filling without slippage. Thin, but at least it’s honest about it.
