adx 97.5 on a coin doing 0.01 with 367% daily volatility, that reading is basically noise. SELL is the only sane output here
Agreed, and with 367% daily vol the death cross barely matters either. one green candle erases the whole pattern
backtest went to literally zero, -100%, final value 0. this thing is a case study in why stop losses exist
17% win rate across 66 trades is almost impressive. takes dedication to a strategy to keep firing after -87% losses three times in a row
17% win rate across 66 trades and it still found 11 that worked. survivorship bias with a chart attached
-97.3% from the 0.34 high and people are still mapping resistance at 0.08 like it matters. copium of the highest grade
both profit targets literally 0.00 lmao, even the engine gave up on this one. rip MATIC bagholders, me included
held MATIC since 2021, watched it become POL at 0.01. -97.3% off the high. this article is just salt in the wound tbh
resistance mapped at 0.08 on a coin sitting at 0.01 after sliding -97.3% from 0.34. whoever is still swinging POL needs this SELL tag more than most
