an 80% drawdown off 15.56 and the system still says buy, trend followers really do live dangerously. ADX 27.4 is decent tho
thats the whole point of the system tho, it buys strength not bottoms. 50d at 2.86 is holding and price cleared it
35k deployed in 3 tranches with a 15% cash buffer on something 80% off the high is honestly reasonable. 2.44 support is the line that matters
MACD bearish plus a buy signal… I would wait for a clean break of 3.60 before trusting this leg
