backtest says -10.1% over 2 years and the verdict is still BUY lmao. the system works, just not profitably
To be fair, -10.1% vs -37.5% buy and hold is a massive difference over two years. That is the whole point of trend following, you lose less.
medium conviction on a 4 bull vs 3 bear split while the 50d is still falling? ADX at 24.7 says this trend is barely out of bed. ill let someone else catch the first leg
ADX 24.7 with a falling 50d is exactly why the 0.17 stop exists. medium conviction means small first slice, not yolo
deploying 5,250 in 3 tranches with a 0.17 stop is at least sane sizing. still remember people going all in at 0.60
the all in at 0.60 crowd is still sitting on a 70 percent drawdown while the 0.17 stop crowd sleeps fine. boring tranches win again
target 1 and target 2 both showing 0.00, gonna assume thats a template bug and not a prediction lmao
Noticed the same thing. Resistance at 0.22 would be the obvious first target, roughly +22% from here. Editor should fix those zeros.
0.22 also lines up with the old 2023 shelf, that confluence makes me trust it more than the broken target table does
the 2023 shelf confluence plus 5 tranches of 7k is the only math in this piece that survives the broken target table. editor asleep on the zeros
editor never fixes those zeros because the chart already says it, 0.22 shelf then 0.26. the table is decorative at this point
5 tranches of 7k on an asset that does nothing for months then spikes 40 percent in a week. xlm in a nutshell, patience tax is real
^ exactly. xlm does nothing for months then one partnership headline gaps it 20 percent and your unfilled tranches are gone. patience is the whole trade
^ missed tranches are the cost of doing business on xlm. one partnership candle pays for three boring months of waiting
the patience tax actually pays on xlm. every spike since 2024 started from an adx under 25, this coin is boring by design
adx under 25 starts is fine but medium conviction with the 50d still falling is generous. id want one weekly close over 0.20 before tranche one
weekly close over 0.20 squad. until then tranche one is just donating liquidity to the 0.18 chop
0.00 target tables on the third xlm piece this week, someone ping the editor. 0.22 then 0.26 from the 2023 shelf, we can all read the chart without the table
7k tranches at 0.18 with the stop at 0.17 is roughly 5 percent risk per slice. sanest sizing oliver has printed all week
5 percent risk per slice at 0.18 entry with a falling 50d, thats the math that lets you sleep. most of these pieces bury the sizing, oliver actually printed it
backtest prints -10.1% over two years and the verdict is still BUY with 35k staged in tranches. respect for publishing the ugly table, question the conclusion lol
the -10.1 vs -37.5 spread IS the product tho. you pay a decade of small bleed to dodge one 70 percent crater. whether thats BUY depends on your stomach
-10.1 vs -37.5 buy and hold is literally the trend following pitch tho. ugly backtest, uglier alternative. the 0.00 target tables are still embarrassing tho, third piece this week with the same template bug
third broken table this week and somehow the pitch still lands. -10.1 vs -37.5 buy and hold does the arguing, the 0.00 targets are just decoration
the 0.00 table bug surviving a third piece is hilarious but the trend math holds up. adx under 25 entries and patience has been the whole xlm playbook since 2024
2023 shelf confluence is carrying the whole thesis while the targets table is visibly broken. five tranches of 7k is sensible, the editor pass was not
