RSI at 72 and the verdict is BUY? ive seen this movie before. still long from the 74k area so cant complain too much
rsi 72 in a stage 2 uptrend is normal tho, momentum can stay overheated for weeks. 2017 called and wants its fretting back
btc grinding from a 57k low to 86k and people still call the top. adx 44 with rsi 72 just means strong trend
RSI 72.3 is where the last two pullbacks started though. stop at 78,166 seems wide for an asset moving 2.7% a day
57k to 86k is a 50% move, the trend is obviously real. real question is adding here vs waiting for price to tag the 50d again
adding here vs the 50d retest is the whole game. the 71 trade backtest says waiting got paid, greed says otherwise
the 50d sits around 81k now, thats a 6% dip on an asset doing 2.7% daily. patience gets rewarded here more often than not
an 81k tag also fills the gap left behind on the breakout. chart junkies get their wish and the trend stays intact
81k also holds the base of the november breakout candle. gap fill plus 50d retest, two reasons dip buyers are camped there already
waiting for the 50d tag has cost me more than chasing ever did. adx 44 trends dont hand out do-overs
Accumulation with OBV rising is the part that stands out. ADX of 44 confirms real trend strength, not chop.
and yet its still 31% below the 126k high. strong trend sure, but the bagholders from last year arent celebrating
The 2-year backtest showing only +4.0% over 71 trades with a 51% win rate makes me question the churn. Buy and hold did +3.3% with zero stress by comparison.
71 trades to beat buy and hold by 0.7% is the most honest thing ive read today. fees and slippage would eat that whole edge
Exactly, 71 trades to beat holding by 0.7%. One bad fill and that edge is gone. Holding wins.
0.7% over 71 trades is inside the noise of one bad fill. the honest takeaway is buy and hold is unbeatable in a stage 2 trend, not that the system works
one bad fill, or one 9% wick that tags the 78,166 stop then rips. holding wins in stage 2 and the fees thank you for trading
a march wick tagged my stop and price ripped without me. holding a stage 2 trend is painless right up until you try to be clever about it
ADX 44 at 86k while everyone argues about the 126k top. stage 2 trends do not care about feelings, size accordingly
stop at 78,166 on an asset doing 2.7% daily is 9% below entry. that is not a stop, that is hope. rsi 72 entries want half sizing and tighter risk
meanrevert with the only honest take in the thread. a 9% stop on something doing 2.7% daily is just praying with extra steps
half sizing at rsi 72 is exactly what the plan skips. it deploys the full 10k like btc is still at 57k
half sizing at rsi 72 is the missing tranche here. deploying the full 10k into an extended reading is how the 78,166 stop actually gets hit
Held from 63k and still wouldnt add here. RSI 72 with price 31% under the 126k high, the easy part of the move is behind us
funny detail, the stop sits at 78,166 but the 50d everyone wants to buy is around 81k. the plan stops you out right before the level it says to wait for
wait thats actually a brutal catch. stop below the retest zone means the 71 trade backtest never even gets to prove itself
