+24.6% on the strategy versus -30.6% buy and hold, with a 47% win rate across 47 trades. The edge came entirely from dodging the big drawdown. Respectable.
sure but 8 bull factors and it still says stage 3 topping with a wait signal. these systems are so scared of being wrong they never commit to anything
Disagree. Waiting IS the edge here. OBV accumulation with vol ratio 1.8 says someone is quietly loading while retail complains about the drawdown.
OBV climbing while price sits at 6 cents for months is either accumulation or a very patient exit. the 1.8x up day volume leans your way i admit
thats the point tho. 47 percent win rate across 47 trades and still +24.6 percent because it skips the -30 percent stretches. the caution is where the returns come from
-84.6% off the 52w high of 0.39 and the engine calls it Stage 3 Topping. generous framing for what is a 6 cent coin
to be fair the OBV accumulation and 1.34x up day volume are real signals. problem is the 200d sitting right at 0.06, thats the ceiling until it clears 0.07
stage 3 topping label is generous framing for a 6 cent coin, sure. but the 0.07 resistance test is at least a real level to watch
-84.6% off the 0.39 high and resistance barely at 0.07… held this since the cdc card cashback days, the copium is wearing thin ngl
same, my bag started as cdc cashback too lol. at least the call is hold instead of averaging into a 6 cent coin that keeps bleeding against its own 200d
8 bull factors vs 3 bear and still LOW conviction WAIT. engine knows a CRO below the 200d with 5.1% daily ATR is a trap door
scared systems still beat brave ones. the same engine returned 24.6% while buy and hold lost 30 on CRO. boring is the feature
HOLD verdict on a coin 84 percent down, sure. but 0.07 has rejected CRO three times this year. the engine wants volume confirmation before committing and so do i
