Trend-following methodology: 50d/200d MA crossover + RSI filter + ADX regime gate
Data via Yahoo Finance / CoinGecko · Not financial advice. For educational purposes only.
ADX at 50.8 with a golden cross is about as clean a trend setup as you get. Still, being 57% below the 52w high of 25.95 makes me size half the 15% allocation and wait for a pullback toward the 9.27 area.
waiting for 9.27 on an ADX 50 trend is how you miss the move. strong trends rarely give a clean retest
Half sizing is fair but the backtest argues for staying in: +61.8% over 2 years with only -6.3% max drawdown while buy and hold did -52.6%. Stop at 10.29 keeps the downside tight anyway.
two years is basically one cycle for GT though. the -52.6% buy and hold says drawdowns cluster, trust the 10.29 stop more than the average return
12 tranches beating lump sum by 25 points is wild. chop tax is real, GT whipsaws both directions every few weeks
The DCA table is the real story. Lump sum returned just +11.7% while 12 tranches did +36.6% on the same 30k. Choppy asset, spreading entries wins.
