-84% off the 15.56 high and the backtest still turns 12,000 into 7,906. some coins you just leave alone
this. ATR is almost 7% a day, one green candle and the bagholders will be back yelling about web3 cloud compute
SELL on ICP after its already down from a 15.56 high, bold timing. whos left to sell at 2.48
trend systems always exit late, thats the deal. but targets at 3.00 on a SELL tag confuses me, price is 2.48
genuine question, does anyone actually build on ICP anymore or is it just node providers trading with themselves at 2.48
a few canister apps still chugging along but nothing you would tell a friend about. 3.60 resistance tells the story
backtest log shows 7 straight small wins plus one +8.6%. funny how these engine logs never show a losing stretch
