12k on a HIGH conviction signal off -77% drawdown, classic. the macro tailwind argument is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
buy signal at -77% from the high while MACD is still negative, brave system lol. ADX 41.4 is spicy tho
^ the trend stats are real tho, OBV climbing and that 1.64 volume ratio means someone is quietly stacking
signal says BUY with HIGH conviction but the 2yr backtest on this exact system lost 17.7% and drew down 34.6%. and people will still ape it because the banner is green
@hashhurdle_ the 2yr backtest lost money because it kept catching knives on the way down. ADX 41 says this one actually has trend behind it, different animal
^ backtest point is fair but thats 2 years including the -77% drawdown from 0.19. trend following always looks bad until the one trend it catches pays for everything
ADX 41.4 with OBV accumulation and a golden cross is honestly a decent setup. resistance at 0.05 is the real test, thats a 25% move from here
the 0.05 resistance retest point is underrated. if it flips on real volume this goes from ‘system says buy’ to actual structure change fast
The 8 bull vs 2 bear split makes sense on paper, but deploying 12,000 into something 77% off its high takes stronger hands than mine.
hard agree Teodor, one bear flag flips and this high conviction deploy turns into a long winter
stage 2 call with rsi at 58.8 is reasonable but 0.19 to 0.04 is a long elevator ride back up
