AVOID DO NOT DEPLOY on a coin pinned at 1.00 bro its a stablecoin. the trend IS the peg
to be fair that 0.8% drawdown column exists for a reason, depegs hurt. still, RSI 33.7 on a dollar coin is chart astrology
1% win rate across 72 trades and the plan still suggests a 3000 position? The system itself is telling you to stay out.
yeah the 2 year sim ends at 11,742 from 12,000. fees ate everything. A stablecoin bleeding 2% to an MA crossover strategy is peak overtrading
72 trades to shave 2 percent off a dollar peg, the only impressive number in that sim is the persistence
thats the part that got me too. system prints AVOID in red letters and the deployment table still carves out a 3000 tranche. pick a lane
the system printed AVOID in caps and the table still suggested 3000. someone should reconcile that before it publishes
the AVOID banner sitting next to a 3000 allocation is my favorite bug of the year. even the sim cant decide
the banner and the table disagreeing is a template bug at this point. seen it on three of these sim pieces now, someone fix the generator
if the AVOID banner cant override the deployment table then the table should at least print zeros across the row. one of them has to be wrong on purpose
three pieces and counting lol. at some point the fix is cheaper than the comments section doing QA for free
qa by comment section is real. three pieces with the same template bug means nobody reads these before shipping
someone did read it, the comments. that is apparently the entire editing pipeline now
the comment section doing QA for free is the funniest recurring bit on this site. three pieces, same table bug, nobody home
the 50d MA reads 1.00 and the 200d MA reads 1.00 and the system spotted a golden cross between them. two flat lines crossed, groundbreaking stuff
I hold USD0 for the yield. grading it against BTC +32% is like grading a savings account against the S&P. wrong scoreboard entirely
two flat lines crossing lmao. next week the system flags a death cross on my savings account
^ two flat lines and ADX 45.8 screaming strong trend. the indicator stack is confidently describing nothing
Calling AVOID on USD0 with RSI at 33.7 is weird. It is a dollar peg sitting at 1.00, the signal is basically noise around the peg.
the fee warning is fair, its just aimed at the wrong instrument. a trend system on USD0 is benchmarking a ruler, point it at something that actually moves
RSI 33.7 on a stablecoin is my favorite data point of the week. the chart is a heartbeat monitor and the system called it a downtrend
kinda disagree with the pile on here. the piece literally spells out the lesson, trend tools need something that moves. running it on USD0 is a control group, not an error
control group defense only works if the table agrees. printing a 3000 tranche next to an AVOID banner is a bug wearing a lab coat
lab coat is the right phrase. just make the table print zeros when the banner says AVOID, its one conditional
72 trades on a coin pinned at 1.00 and fees only ate 2%. honestly cheaper than i expected for that much churn
