81.5% drawdown from the 39.92 high and the model still calls it Stage 3 topping? feels more like a slow bleed to nowhere, idk
stage labels aside, 5 bull vs 4 bear factors is basically a coin flip. low conviction is the honest read here
a HOLD on ETC at 7.39 while the backtest log shows sells at 7.66 and buys back at 7.89. the system is chopping itself to death in this range lol
selling at 7.66 and rebuying at 7.89 is a 3% donation every round trip. no wonder the backtest log bleeds in this range

WAIT is the right call but that 52w high box literally reads 0.01. fix the data feed before printing a 10k deployment plan off it
exactly what i noticed. also ETC hashing along on the same chart while ETH does its own thing, the 50/200 crossover barely fires. holding is free tho
lol the 0.01 box. someone pasted the PI header into the ETC template and shipped it anyway
Bought ETC in the May bounce around 11 and the WAIT call matches how I feel. No edge below the 50 day, just patience.
a 10k deployment plan for a coin trading 7.39 with a flat 50/200 crossover. patience is free, entries are not
