TRX quietly up 11.5% on the year while BTC is down 13.9%, nobody gives it credit lol
11.5% on the year while btc bleeds 13.9% is exactly why im not touching my trx bag either. HOLD is the only sane call
11.5% on the year vs btc down 13.9% is the most underrated stat on this whole site. trx just grinds while everything else implodes, holding is free
up double digits while btc bleeds 13.9 and nobody talks about it. trx is the vegetables of the portfolio, boring and it keeps you alive
ADX 14.5 is dead flat, WAIT is the right call. no edge in a coin pinned between 0.32 and 0.35
@fred agree on the ADX but a 45% backtest return with only 12% max drawdown is worth keeping on the watchlist
backtest returns are cute until that 0.32/0.35 range breaks and you get chopped in both directions. ill wait for the ADX to wake up too
same boat on the ADX thing. difference is this system only deploys on the 0.35 break so chop costs you opportunity, not capital. thats the part everyone misses
the 45% backtest is cool but with ADX at 14.5 there is literally no trend to follow. system sits on its hands until 0.35 breaks, thats the whole trade
the backtest only counts deployed months tho, the 45% comes from like 6 of them. the other 18 the system just watched, which is the whole point
Stage 2 uptrend, 5 of 6 factors bullish, and the verdict is still WAIT? the system has no conviction in its own signal lol
the system needs an actual trend to follow and ADX 14.5 says there isnt one. WAIT is honest math, the 5 bull factors are just slow averages catching up
1.27% daily ATR is a stablecoin with extra steps lol. the 0.35 breakout comes when nobody is watching
4% staking on top of the stablecoin impression is the extra steps paying rent. trx bags boring their way to outperform again
1.27% ATR and people still try to daytrade trx lol. the range either holds or it doesnt, everything in between is noise
stablecoin with extra steps but it still pays ~4% staking. ill take boring over another -20% sunday candle any week
0.32 floor has bounced four times this month alone. reid sitting on the 30k until 0.35 is just letting the market come to him
0.32 support has held for months, trx is basically a savings account rn. boring in a good way while everything else gets chopped up
savings account until volumes pick up. RSI 51.5 dead center of the range is the most TRX chart imaginable
savings account until one daily close under 0.32 and suddenly its not. respect the stat but 11.5% ytd aint worth a -20% gap risk imo
fair on the gap risk but when has trx ever gapped 20% overnight? worst case it bleeds slow and you still get out around 0.33
keeping the 30k dry until 0.35 instead of averaging in now is the smart part of this plan. ADX 14.5 means waiting is free
30k parked until 0.35 with ADX at 14.5 is just free optionality. worst case you miss the first candle and buy 0.36, way better than bleeding out in the chop
buying 0.36 after missing the first candle is still cheaper than six months of chop burn at ADX 14.5. free optionality is real
reid holding the rest of the 30k until 0.35 is the right call. every time i averaged into trx early i just gave the spread back, this thing rewards patience
