the accumulation part is what people skip. OBV climbing with vol ratio 1.62 while price is still 59% off the high, thats not retail buying the dip
vol ratio 1.62 with OBV still grinding up is textbook accumulation imo. took a small tranche near 118, no way im full size into one candle tho
RSI 64 with ADX 45 is a real trend, no chop here. Still, deploying at 119 when the 52w high is 294 stings. At least the tranche plan keeps it sane.
same feeling on the entry. buying 119 after watching it under 70 last quarter hurts but the system doesnt do feelings. first tranche is basically a test buy
the 3k size with a stop at 108 is what sold me. Worst case you eat about 10%, target 2 at 139 pays 16. Fine math for an aggressive book.
Math checks out until a gap takes out 108 overnight. SOL loves weekend gaps, I would halve the first tranche or widen the stop. The overall shape of the 12k plan is right though.
halving the tranche AND widening the stop gives you a worse risk reward on a 3k starter though. if a gap takes 108 you eat the ~10% and move on, the small size is the gap insurance
RSI 64 and ADX 45 sure, trend is real. but entering 20% above the 99.99 leg start means the easy money already left. a retest toward 108 costs nothing to wait for
waiting for a 108 retest is how you end up chasing 139. the small 3k first tranche is already the retest hedge
The 2yr backtest returns +1.5% while DCA with 12 buys did +19.3%? Says a lot about the 50/200 crossover getting chopped to bits on SOL.
19.3% vs 1.5% is brutal but shift the window 6 months and it flips. SOL backtests are vibes with extra steps imo
nah, printing the 1.5% vs 19.3% comparison is the honest move. most analysis posts would just bury the DCA number and show the win rate instead
backtests always look worse than DCA with hindsight. But the live trade log caught that Sept run from 99.99 to 119.60, that one was real.
That September leg from 99.99 to 119.60 happened while the backtest sat flat, which is exactly why I weight the live log heavier here. Just hope tranche two fills closer to 115 than 125.
+1.5% over two years is the generator being brutally honest. Crossover rules on SOL get run over by those 20% weekly candles. The tranche ladder adapts to that better than any signal.
the DCA +19.3% only looks that good cause the window catches the run up from low bases. slide it 6 months like petronela said and the crossover probably wins. window picking decides these comparisons
The window picking point is underrated. Every SOL backtest comparison I’ve run flips once you move the start date by a quarter.

ADX 45 with OBV climbing is the part that matters. I would still cut the first tranche if 108 goes, but shorting into that trend stat is a losing hobby
agreed shorting into ADX 45 with OBV climbing is fighting the tide, but that 108 stop is one saturday wick from ruin. id park tranche two at 104 instead
bruno calling shorting a losing hobby while ADX is 45 is the most politely brutal thing ive read today lol. agreed on the 108 stop tho

the crossover rule doing +1.5% over two years while DCA did +19.3% is the whole argument. SOL trends too hard for mean reversion logic, and that Sept leg from 99.99 to 119.60 proved it live
3k at market then the rest on a 108 tag is the only sane way to play a 20% weekly candle coin. if it never dips you still got paid, if it dumps you get your fill
