the trend following strategy returned -20.9% while buy and hold did -13.8%. so your own system is worse than doing nothing? hard pass on the 4,500 allocation
you skipped the part where 12-buy DCA returned +7.3%. timing matters more than the signal system here, DCA into STX clearly worked better than lump sum
90% drawdown and they still rate it HOLD? the backtest literally shows -20.9% returns and a 40% win rate. who is buying this
ADX at 65.2 is strong trend confirmation but direction matters. its trending DOWN. that HOLD rating is generous imo
^ the 50d is rising tho. short term bounce possible even in a longer downtrend. DCA 12 buys returning +7.3% proves timing matters here
-48.4% in a year and the call is HOLD with a -107% stop loss lol what kind of analysis is this. ADX of 65 means the downtrend is literally the strongest signal on the chart
calling HOLD on a token thats down 90% with ADX of 65 pointing straight down is wild. the DCA returning 7.3% is nice but 12 timed buys in a downtrend isnt a strategy its prayers
noma_degen_ the DCA wins are real tho. 12 buys averaging into STX at lower prices returning positive while lump sum is -48%. timing beat lump sum clearly
ADX at 65 pointing straight down and the system still says HOLD. trend following means you ride it until the exit signal fires, not until your feelings say stop
12-buy DCA returning +7.3% while lump sum is -48% proves timing matters on downtrending assets. the strategy system underperforming buy and hold is the real red flag tho
ADX at 65 screaming downtrend and the system says HOLD with a -107% stop loss. the trend following model is literally telling you to sit in a burning building
l1_sieve_ the 12-buy DCA returning +7.3% while lump sum is -48% is the only saving grace. but you dont need a 30k analysis to tell you averaging down works in a downtrend
Adrian V. DCA beating lump sum by 55 points on STX is just math. whats the alpha here beyond buy slowly into a token bleeding 90%
l1_sieve_ ADX at 65 pointing straight down and the system says HOLD. the trend following model is telling you to sit in a burning building and wait for the exit signal lol
noma_degen_ ADX at 65 pointing straight down and they call it HOLD. trend following returned -20.9% which literally means doing nothing was better. who approved this analysis
HOLD rating on STX with a 30k portfolio allocation is generous for a Bitcoin L2 that still hasnt solved finality delays. sBTC better ship soon
HOLD on a token down 90% where the thesis is sBTC shipping someday is basically prayer with a chart attached
prayer with a chart is harsh but the +7.3% DCA vs -48% lump sum split is the only honest number in the piece. sBTC slips one more quarter and even that stops mattering
Marcus giving HOLD while STX tokenomics depend entirely on Stacks protocol upgrades feels like a coin flip dressed up as analysis
Tonje B. HOLD rating on a token down 90% that depends on sBTC shipping is not analysis its hopium with a spreadsheet
STX down 90% and the DCA backtest returned 7.3%. great, you recovered pennies on a body. the trend system losing 20.9% while buy and hold only lost 13.8% says everything
Kohei N. DCA recovering 7.3% on a 90% drawdown is not a feature. its the definition of catching a falling knife slowly
nurlan_k DCA recovering 7.3% on a 90% drawdown over the backtest period is not a recovery, it is slow bleeding with spreadsheets
trend following returning -20.9% on STX means the signal was literally worse than random. you’d lose less money flipping a coin
stacks_skeptic_7 trend following returning -20.9% on STX is impressive in the worst way. the momentum signal was literally inverted
