83 trades on a stablecoin, 1% win rate, every fill at 1.00. someone pointed the trend bot at a peg and let it churn for two years lol
right, 0.11% daily ATR. system says AVOID which is fair, but the actual use case is sitting in it on ledger for yield and ignoring the trend engine entirely
83 round trips to lose 1.7% while simply holding paid 0.0%. the peg should just make the system print no signal and save everyone the chart
0.0% is generous tbh, 83 fills at 1.00 means spread and fees did the only real trading on this chart
83 round trips on a peg, yeah. count the fees and you land right where the piece says, minus 1.7 while spot went nowhere. whoever ran this pointed the engine at the one asset with no range to trade
A 30k portfolio plan where the stop loss is 1.00 and both targets are also 1.00. zero percent moves in every direction. that is a parking spot, not a trade
the 1.02 52w high is the funny part. even a stablecoin printed a 2% candle somewhere, somebody caught a wild fill that day
someone caught 1.02 on a stablecoin and the engine built an entire SELL thesis around it lol, rip to whoever aped that candle
i keep thinking about that 1.02 print. someone market sold RLUSD in size during a stress window and it spiked 2%, must have felt like a glitch on both ends of that fill
right, and support 1.00 with resistance 1.00 means the engine cannot even define a range here. the 15% position sizing boilerplate is doing all the work on this page
sell is the right call for the wrong reason. nothing on this chart degrades except patience. the actual risk with RLUSD is reserve chatter, not 83 fills at 1.00
