backtest returned +100.6% while buy and hold did +91%. all that complexity for 9 extra points lol
those 9 points came with a max drawdown of -17.5% instead of eating the full dip. that is literally the whole point of the system
9 points over buy and hold while dodging the full 17.5 percent dip is the actual pitch. risk adjusted is the whole point of the system
9 points plus half the drawdown, pick your poison. id rather be bored and solvent
bored and solvent until the invalidation gap widens. the 9 points only compounds if you actually rebalance on signal, most people wont
bored and solvent is the actual meta. dodging the 17.5 drawdown on 15k is worth more than the 9 extra points sound
9 points is 9 points until you size up. at a real allocation that gap compounds over every rebalance, boring systems win by showing up
RSI at 48.4 and OBV flashing distribution while ADX 25.5 says strong bear trend, yet the signal is still BUY. support at 3.52 is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
the OBV distribution flag has been firing since 4.80 and price is still holding above the 3.52 shelf. system logic says momentum beats the indicator until that support actually breaks
A +100.6% backtest on a token that dropped 7.1% in the last month? MA crossover sims always look flawless until the death cross shows up mid-position.
backtests arent real money but ADX 25.5 with price above the 50d and 200d isnt nothing either. 3.52 support is my line, below that thesis is dead
3.52 is the line, agreed. below it the whole price above both MAs story dies with the thesis
3.52 held twice already this month so the invalidation is at least honest. still not touching a BUY that ignores its own OBV read tho
the analysis flags distribution, OBV down, vol ratio 0.65, and the verdict is still BUY at medium conviction. gotta respect the consistency lol
the system buys momentum above both MAs regardless of the OBV flag. rules are rules, even when they show up late to the party
medium conviction is the engine admitting it too. rules fired so it printed BUY, the OBV flag is the footnote that saves you
the footnote is doing more than saving you, its the whole call. a buy that skips its own distribution flag is just momentum with paperwork
4.39 to the 5.32 resistance is barely 21% upside after already doing +244% in 6 months. ill wait for the retest
after +244 percent in six months the shallow retest might be all you get. waiting for 3.52 on a coin above both MAs can turn into never
21 percent upside after a 244 percent run is textbook late stage. retest 3.52 or nothing, chasing strength here is exit liquidity duty
at least the levels are clean, 3.52 invalidation and 5.32 target. the OBV distribution read is what makes the BUY call spicy
OBV distribution with a 0.65 vol ratio and the call is still BUY at medium conviction. the +100.6% backtest is doing all the lifting here
the backtest carrying the call is exactly it. strip the +100.6% sim and you have OBV distribution with a hope chart, medium conviction is generous
strip the sim and its a momentum bot buying above both MAs, exactly. the OBV distribution flag should downgrade this to hold at minimum
9 points over buy and hold but the drawdown gap is the real pitch. most people cannot sit through minus 17.5 percent twice in six months
