LTC at $66.99 with a golden cross and ADX over 50, been a while since one of these setups looked this clean. still 54% under the $146 high though
clean until you remember the one bear factor is far below high. 9 vs 1 is a generous read imo
bought the last LTC top so forgive me for waiting on a retest of the 50d before deploying the whole 30k
vol ratio 2.2 on a buy signal is the part i like most. when volume confirms the cross it tends to be real
74.91 resistance with RSI already at 64.5, decent chunk of the move is done. nibbling here, not deploying the full 30k
ADX at 50.9 is a monster reading for LTC. trends that strong dont come around often, deploy signal makes total sense to me
adx 50.9 is honestly the scariest number on the page. trends that vertical usually mean the easy money is already in. id want a retest of the 48.54 support before going big
Sure, the trend is real. But the backtest table shows the strategy lost 21.5% while plain buy and hold only lost 12%. A 46% win rate across 71 trades is not a system I would trust with 30k.
fair point on the backtest, but the DCA table right below it has 12 buys at +11.4% beating lump sum by 13 points. the signal is a filter, not the whole plan
buying LTC at 67 when it was 146 a year ago feels terrible ngl. but golden cross plus that 3 month +47% chart is hard to ignore
