ATR of 507% per day at one cent. this is not a chart anymore, its a lottery scratcher
scratcher lmao. and then the table shows ETH +46.8% over the same year. brutal side by side
that ETH plus 46.8 side by side is the whole ad for buying the boring thing
scratcher energy but the sizing table still assumes you exit at your stop. at ATR 507 the exchange does the exiting for you, at whatever price it feels like
held MATIC since the $2 days and watched it become POL at $0.01. -97% from the high and the system still calls it Stage 4 downtrend. pain
The DCA table is the brutal part. -67.5% for spreading out four buys, worse than lump sum at -59.3%. averaging down just diluted the loss
That DCA table is the part nobody talks about. Spreading four buys into the same downtrend and finishing 8 points worse than lump sum. Averaging only works with a bottom in sight.
and that DCA table still undersells it, four buys spread into a token with ATR 507. averaging down a lottery scratcher was never going to work
the DCA table being worse than lump sum in a straight downtrend should be printed on every averaging down tutorial. no bottom means no average
the migration pitch was unified liquidity and staking rewards, what we got was a one cent token and a Stage 4 label. held through all of it like an idiot
unified liquidity and staking rewards, and we ended up with a chart nobody can even set stops on. ATR 507 makes position sizing math broken
exactly. with ATR at 507 percent the stop distance is bigger than the account. position sizing is the only tool left and at least this plan had the sense to say SELL
funny how ADX 95.1 gets listed as a bull factor on a SELL call with 8 bear factors. trend strength cuts both ways i guess
ADX measures trend strength, not direction. On a -97% chart that strength is the downtrend itself. The article got this right.
Held MATIC since 2021 and watched the POL migration do absolutely nothing for the chart. Resistance at 0.08 feels generous honestly.
a 35k deployment plan written for a token at one cent with ATR of 507%. if even one person is sizing positions off this, SELL is the kindest thing they could have printed
the ATR line is what gets me. a 507 percent daily range makes every stop in the plan theoretical
theoretical stops lol. a 507 percent daily range on a one cent token means your stop is just a suggestion
507 percent daily ATR makes the support at 0.01 basically a suggestion. Any stop under that volatility is theater.
ADX 95 on a one cent token is the trend system finally agreeing with everyone who left in 2022. ETH at +46.8 on the same page is just cruel
eth at plus 46.8 next to pol minus 59.3 on the same table should be mandatory reading before every cheap buy in a downtrend
adx 95 on a downtrend is the system being blunt about it. eight bear factors to two bulls and people still ask about entries
adx 95 agreeing with the 2022 exit crowd is the funniest convergence in this whole series
cruel is the right word. held thru the migration and the same page shows ETH at plus 46.8. at least the system is honest about it
somewhere a 2021 polygon maxi is reading the words HIGH conviction SELL and finally feeling seen
