48% win rate across 67 backtest trades and it still finished down 31.6%. and the takeaway is deploy 3k on this system? their own table shows 6-buy DCA only lost 0.6%
right, beating buy and hold by losing slightly less is a wild bar for a hold rating lol
Down 60 percent from 146 and they label it bottoming. I have held LTC through worse, the 2022 grind to 40 was brutal. RSI 42 with price above the 200d is not a disaster setup
remember that 2022 grind, was dca’ing at 45 like an idiot and it still worked out. 57 with rsi 42 is just boring, boring is fine after that
Stop loss at 52.70 sits above the 55.20 support. You get shaken out before the level even gets tested, seems tight for an aggressive contrarian profile
Small correction, 52.70 actually sits below the 55.20 support, so it only triggers after the level breaks. Tight, but at least it respects the structure.
stage 1 deployment at -60.6% off the 146 high means the full 12k plan needs ltc to cooperate for once. gl to us all
