BUY signal with conviction but the 2-year backtest shows -44.3%? strategy lost over half the portfolio following the same system. hard to square that circle
tbh the backtest going negative doesnt mean the signal is wrong, it means LDO just bled for 2 years straight. the system still beat hold by 30 points
the DCA math is the only thing that makes sense here. 12 buys at -19% vs lump sum at -47.7% is a massive difference, shows timing still matters even with trend following
84% drawdown from the 52w high and they are calling this a BUY? the backtest literally shows -44% returns over 2 years with a 37% win rate. how is this high conviction
been holding ldo since $3.40 and honestly the staking dominance narrative is the only thing keeping me from capitulating. competition from rocket pool and frax eth is real though
lido_bag_2021 the 15k deployment plan at these prices is either contrarian genius or copium. stETH dominance is still 30 percent but the token capture is weak
RSI at 73.3 is already overbought territory though. entry quality says extended with R:R below 1. timing here is rough
LDO at 0.39 with a 52w high of 2.48 is a 84 percent drawdown. calling this a buy requires incredible conviction in lido maintaining market share
