holding from 0.29 and watching a -81.5% drawdown print in pretty colors. the pain ratio chart is just my portfolio with extra steps
same boat. 0.06 support is the only thing standing between us and the 0.04 low, watching it like a hawk
watched 0.06 bounce twice in august already. if it goes again im not averaging, im out. this coin taught me that lesson at 0.20
Held from 0.24 myself. Only reason I keep watching is resistance at 0.09 with the 200d at 0.08. If that flips the Stage 3 topping call ages badly, if not we ride back to 0.04.
38 trades, 40% win rate, and that still beat buy and hold by 70 points. Says more about how rough HBAR was than about the system.
Beat buy and hold by 70 points and still only +10.6% after two years. 13,278 final value on 12k barely beats a savings account. This system survives bad markets, it does not make money in them.
surviving is the product though. -31.5% max drawdown vs -81.5% buy and hold on HBAR, that is where the 70 points actually come from
70 points of outperformance and the reward is being flat with a stop at your entry. the honest takeaway is the system keeps you solvent long enough for the 0.09 resistance test, nothing more
the -81.5% drawdown stat is doing all the work in that 70 point claim. still, flat with a stop at entry beats my 2024 hbar adventure
survival is fine until you remember the 12k plan needs actual gains eventually. two years for 10% is patience with no payoff
flat with a stop at 0.07 beats riding an 81% drawdown any year. boring systems are the ones that leave you capital
40 percent win rate beating hold by 70 points is just stop discipline doing its job. the system is a firewall, not an engine
0.07 against a 52w high of 0.40 and still only LOW conviction with 5 bull factors. That ADX at 36.9 is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the bull label imo.
Same read. Backtest shows +10.6% final value with max drawdown -31.5%, so the strategy mostly saves you from yourself rather than beating buy and hold.
Elena holding a 12k plan for a coin that bled 81.5% is brave. RSI 52.7 is fine but I want to see how price behaves around the 50d before committing anything here.
That trade log is brutal, 8 round trips in 10 days and the best one made +3%. Also the stop sits at 0.07 which IS the current price, so the system is telling you the trade is dead on arrival.
the stop sitting AT current price is the most honest thing this system has done all week. one bad candle and you are flat, no ambiguity
stop at 0.07 IS the signal. no ambiguity means no hoping, you either get the reclaim above the 50d or you spend the day flat
the 50d at 0.07 is the only structural level left on this chart. until hbar reclaims it, the whole thing is hope with a stop attached
the 50d reclaim is the whole trade. until then every bounce off 0.06 is just a slower bleed with better marketing
0.06 double bounce in august and now a third test with the 50d at 0.07 overhead. if this one fails even the WAIT crowd goes quiet
third tests break more often than they hold, and with RSI pinned mid range there is no momentum left to lean on. 0.058 is where i actually care
the backtest beat hold by 70 points mostly by sitting flat. as an HBAR holder since 0.24 i dont need a system to sit flat, i do it for free
sitting flat for free is the funniest true thing posted here. 70 points of outperformance from not moving is an HBAR achievement
sit flat for free goes on a t-shirt lol. 40 percent win rate beating hold by 70 points is just the stop doing all the lifting
hbar holders since 0.24 reading a WAIT verdict two years later. the 0.07 stop is basically the whole thesis at this point
two years of signals for a 10 percent total return and the thread calls it a win. the 0.09 resistance better be a springboard or the system is just a coupon
