system looks at a dollar-pegged token and says BUY with a full 30k deployment. the 50/200 crossover brain does not care what the asset is lol
^ honestly this. any momentum system will long a stablecoin if the curve is smooth enough, not exactly a signal
feed it a smooth treasury curve and it prints BUY on that too lol. the low conviction flag is doing all the heavy lifting on this one
coupon bond call had me laughing. the engine buys anything with a smooth 50/200 cross, usdg just happened to be the chart in front of it
the 50/200 cross does the picking, the conviction flag does the sizing. agreed its a coupon bond trade, but those pay when nothing else does
lmao at going long a coupon bond. someone feed this engine the 10y treasury chart and lets find out
someone ran this experiment in a paper last year, fed a momentum bot the actual 10y curve and it printed buy on treasuries too. the low conviction flag is the only adult in that engine
the treasury bot printing buy is the perfect companion piece to this. low conviction flag on a 5.45 dollar-named token and half the thread still argued the entry
the low conviction flag IS the analysis on this one. smooth curve plus a cross on a dollar named token is autopilot buying
the engine sees a smooth curve and a 50/200 cross, thats the whole trick. same system would go long a coupon bond if you fed it the prices lol
the engine sees a smooth curve and a 50/200 cross, thats the whole trick. same system would go long a coupon bond if you fed it the prices lol
fair, but the engine also sized it as half deployment behind a low conviction flag. it hesitated more than most of this comment section did
a token called Global Dollar trading at 5.45 instead of a buck is the funniest thing on my screen today
different project, its not the Paxos stablecoin. two minutes of research before the joke saves you here
the fact that even regulars mix it up tells you the naming is a regulatory accident waiting to happen. global dollar, usdg, usdg zero, chaos
the fact that even regulars mix it up tells you the naming is a regulatory accident waiting to happen. global dollar, usdg, usdg zero, chaos
global dollar vs usdg zero vs whatever comes next is a naming tax on users. half the confusion is self inflicted
Interesting that the engine flags low conviction but still prints BUY. I would rather deploy half and keep the rest dry.
agree with tina here. low conviction prints are how you blow a 30k stack on a token with dollar in the name, half now half later is the only sane read
half deployment on a stablecoin adjacent token is still generous imo. thin listing means the exit is the real problem, not the entry
entry analysis on something that barely trades is academic. the whole trade lives or dies on whether there is a bid on the other side when you want out
half now half later on a low conviction print is the only sane move here. the engine keeps forgetting tokens can literally be dollars
half now half later on a token at 5.45 against a 15.35 high, the low conviction flag should have been the whole article
half the comments confused it with the Paxos coin and the engine confused momentum for a thesis. matching set lol
the 5.45 print is just chart noise from a thin listing, there is no depeg mystery here. people are arguing about a number that barely trades
thin listing is the point tho. a 64 percent drawdown chart on something pegged to a dollar means the data is garbage in garbage out, engine included
