10 bull factors and the 2 year backtest still shows -25.3%? im supposed to deploy 35k on this because RSI is 54.7 lol
^ jan its a trend following system, of course the backtest bleeds in a sideways year. adx 31.7 says this leg is different
45% win rate across 53 trades and they still printed the table. respect for the honesty at least lol
the OBV divergence people keep citing was calculated on weekly candles, not daily. different beast entirely. still not deploying 35k on it tho
good catch on the weekly candles. changes the whole signal when people quote it like its daily data
35k into a system that bled 25 percent in the backtest is just voluntary contributions to market makers imo
a trend system bleeding 25 percent in a sideways year is the feature, tranche entries at 0.20 with the 0.17 stop caps the real risk. the SOL 50.7 percent in one month line in the comparison table is the part that smells like marketing tho
25 percent backtest bleed with a hard stop at 0.17 and tranches is survivable, voluntary donations is a stretch. deploying 35k into it tho, thats the aggressive part ill grant you
Backtest aside, the accumulation signal is real. OBV up with volume ratio at 1.52 is what got my attention here.
resistance at 0.22 is the whole trade. above that its free air back toward the high
0.22 has rejected xlm like three times since summer. OBV rising is nice but it needs actual volume behind it to clear that wall
fourth attempt usually breaks when the rejections keep getting shallower. watch the wicks on this approach, theyre shrinking each time
shrinking wicks into 0.22 with volume ratio 1.52 is textbook coiling. a wall tested weaker every time usually gives way on the fourth try
shallower rejections into 0.22 is momentum leaking in, not fading. a wall tested weaker every pass is the textbook setup for the fourth try to clear, xlm has done this before
agree on the coil read but id watch the stop placement more than the entry. 0.17 gives the trade about 15 percent of room on a coin that wicks for sport
15 percent of room is generous, xlm wicked to 0.169 in august. id widen to under 0.165 or accept getting swept
Tranche entries with the 0.17 stop are sensible but the comparison table hurts the pitch. XLM did 30.1% over six months while SOL did 50.7% in one.
six month windows flatter whatever just ran. xlm at 0.20 with the wall two ticks away is a different risk profile than chasing sol after a 50% month
45% win rate at 2R average is all a trend system needs, the math clears even in chop. volume ratio at 1.52 finally backing the OBV print is my tell
45% win rate at 2R is fine math but deploying 35k into a 0.20 coin where one whale wallet decides the wick is brave. tranches at least cap the damage
0.22 has turned XLM away three times, but the rejections getting shallower each pass matters more than RSI 54.7 ever will.
three rejections getting shallower is only bullish if volume keeps showing up. that 1.52 ratio has to hold on the actual approach to 0.22 or this is just another slow fade
52w high 0.63 and we are buying at 0.20 waiting on the fourth attempt at 0.22. i respect the conviction but my entries are the boring kind, half size now rest on the breakout close
reading the comments and nobody has mentioned the adx 31.7 print yet. trend strength like that with price pinned under 0.22 is the one thing making me think the fourth try actually clears
adx 31.7 gets recalculated fast when a coin chops sideways for two weeks. if the next daily close is flat that number means nothing anymore
