bought 0.08 in july, sold 0.01. then the system buys again at 0.12 two weeks later. trend following on a coin down 97% is just donating money
the backtest equity curve literally ends at zero. final value 0, return -100%. whoever ran this strategy on POL for a year has nothing left to lose lol
the whipsaw is the real killer here. stops on POL have eaten more of my account than any hack ever did
same boat. sold the 0.12 rebuy signal and slept fine. whipsaw tax on anything down 97% is brutal
the buy at 0.12 two weeks after selling at 0.08 is the funniest line item in the whole backtest lol
sell 0.08 then rebuy 0.12 two weeks later is the whipsaw tax distilled into one line item lol
Held MATIC through the POL migration and the comparison table hurts. Down 85% in a year while BTC did +23%. The death cross confirmed weeks ago, this SELL is late but fair.
the BTC +23 vs POL -85 column is the entire table. needs a better reason than loyalty to sit through that
held matic since 2021, watched the POL migration do absolutely nothing for price. -97% drawdown and the system finally says avoid. painful but fair
the migration was supposed to fix everything and instead we got another leg down. my bag goes in the drawer until 2030 at this rate
held alongside you since the 2021 run. the migration pitch was cheaper and faster everything, we got a 97 percent discount instead
SELL at 0.01 when the 52w high is 0.34, thanks for the heads up captain, that ship sailed 97% ago lmao
fair, but the point of printing SELL is to stop people catching the knife at every bounce. some reader would have bought 0.01 otherwise
adx 93.7 on a downtrend is brutal. a trend that strong doesnt flip overnight, easy skip at 0.01
a backtest that ends at -100% and a SELL printed at the lows. these reports always show up to the funeral right on time
watching matic holders migrate to POL and get another 90% down is the slowest rug in history and its legal
legal because holders voted for the migration lol. we did this one to ourselves
we voted for it is the painful part. every migration pitch promised fee accrual and delivered another zero on the chart
backtest ending at exactly -100% is the most POL thing ive ever seen. holding from 0.34 down to 0.01 because the trend hadnt confirmed
a SELL printed 97% below the 52w high is the system showing up with flowers at the funeral. correct, just extremely late
flowers at the funeral lol accurate. the 12k deployment getting a SELL at 0.01 after riding from 0.34 is pure trend-following cope
cope or not, holding POL from 0.34 through an 85 percent drawdown out of loyalty is the actual failure mode the SELL is flagging
late yes, but trend following is the flowers at funeral business. the crime would be printing a BUY here just to feel useful
SELL at 0.01 with a backtest that already hit -100%. bold. now publish the version that flags re-entry before the next 3x, not after
the system shorted 0.34 down to 0.01, asking it to also call the re-entry is a different product entirely. fair complaint about the gap tho
