-71.9% off the high and it still says AVOID. the part that gets me is 12-buy DCA only softened the loss to -26%. thats a lot of averaging into a knife
9 trades, 44% win rate, still down 7.3%. but hey, beats buy and hold at -52%. trend following on pi is basically damage control at this point
Target 1 and Target 2 both set to 0.00. The model literally cannot name a price above 0.08 it believes in. That says more than the whole SELL rating.
target 1 and target 2 both at 0.00 is just the engine admitting it sees no exit above 0.08. with resistance at 0.09 the math really is that bad
44% win rate at -7.3% is honestly impressive next to my pi bag. held since mainnet, down way worse than 52%, at least your model had actual stops
price sitting exactly on the 0.08 support with rsi 36, one bad candle and the 15% position crowd finds out what -3% stop at 0.07 means
and the stop is only 3.1% below at 0.07. one wick through that 0.08 support and the whole 4,500 position is gone, thin margin for a stage 4 downtrend
thats the part nobody prices in. pi wicks through support for fun, a stop only 3.1% away on a 4,500 position is basically a donation to the exchange
0.27 high down to 0.08 and people still debate the rating. its a 70% drawdown with no target above spot, SELL is the generous take here
