84% down from the 0.39 high and the call is HOLD with low conviction? at least the system admits it has no edge here
the backtest log is the funniest part, 8 roundtrips in 2 weeks for basically zero net. thats the whole altcoin market right now
8 roundtrips for zero net is paying fees to feel busy, credit for printing it in the log at least
8 roundtrips for zero net is more honest than half the signal accounts on this site. the system saw 4 bull vs 6 bear factors and shrugged, that restraint is the actual feature
fees on 8 roundtrips, 84 percent down from 0.39, zero net. that is a subscription to disappointment with extra steps
8 roundtrips for zero net is the fee carousel with extra steps lol. cut it to two trades a month and the backtest looks identical
honestly prefer this to the youtubers calling 10x on everything. system looked at 4 bull vs 6 bear factors and said idk, thats rare honesty
84% down and still holding is the most altcoin sentence on the internet. my own bag says hi
my cro bag from 0.39 says hi back. at this point hodl is less a strategy more a hostage situation
death cross and ADX 32 but OBV climbing with volume ratio 1.38, someone is quietly stacking into this downtrend. watching that 0.05 support
OBV can stay weird for months tho. if that 0.05 support breaks the accumulation thesis is dead and this becomes a SELL real quick
0.05 has bounced three times since august and each tap came on weaker volume. accumulation thesis dies on a weekly close below, not a wick
three weakening taps is accumulation until proven otherwise, agreed. weekly close under 0.05 and im not even checking CRO anymore
weekly close rule is right. also worth noting the death cross printed after an 84 percent decline, half the downtrend already happened before the signal. these lag on corpses
lagging indicators after an 84 percent slide, exactly. by the time the cross confirms, the cheap accumulation window is long gone
quiet stacking into a death cross is usually one whale not a thesis. if that 0.05 goes ill take the OBV divergence as exit liquidity signs, not accumulation
obv climbing into a death cross is usually someone averaging down, and 84% off the 0.39 high is exactly where dead coins get quietly accumulated. 0.05 holding is the only number that matters here
hold with low conviction on an 84% drawdown is the system politely saying dont bother. respect the honesty, skipping the entry either way
skip is the correct trade 90 percent of the time on these. the one time it pays is the 0.05 break and everyone pretends they caught it
skip crew. even the accumulation thesis people admit their whole case dies on one weekly close under 0.05, they just use more words to say it
8 roundtrips for zero net is the system admitting altcoin chop is untradeable. honestly the most useful signal on the whole page
0.05 bouncing on weaker volume every tap is the detail here. three touches and weaker hands each time, either buyers dry up or someone hides size
or its one bored market maker keeping 0.05 alive for options flow. three taps on the same level smells like a peg
weaker taps could also just be sellers exhausting. either way the weekly close under 0.05 settles it, no need to guess before then
weaker taps plus obv climbing is the pair worth watching. if sellers were truly exhausting you would see volume dry up with nobody catching it, rising obv says someone is absorbing
