POL down 97% from the high and the backtest still managed to lose 100% of the 12k. how do you even time it that badly lol
the system buys on 50d crossovers and POL has been under its 200d the whole way down. in this kind of chop the fees and whipsaws just bleed you dry
ADX reading 97.5 with price below both MAs is wild. strong trend, wrong direction. classic falling knife dressed up as momentum
Been holding since the MATIC swap. That 2.09x volume on the one up day fooled a lot of people into calling the bottom. It wasnt the bottom.
that 2.09x volume bar was the migration crowd exiting dressed up as accumulation. same trap as every bounce since the swap
Backtest went to literally zero on 12k and the win rate is 17% over 66 trades. This thing ate 12 grand in a simulation. That’s all I needed to read.
Stop loss listed as -732.7%. Whoever built this deployment plan gave up halfway, which honestly matches POL’s chart energy this year.
minus 732.7 percent stop loss. they mathed so hard they invented owing extra money
SELL rating on something already down 97.3 percent is the most redundant signal in finance. who exactly is left to sell at 0.01
ATR of 367% per day and an ADX of 97.5. Those aren’t stats, that’s a malfunction. Used to hold MATIC since 2021, this migration to POL has been pure pain.
