the system screams HIGH conviction BUY while its own 2 year backtest lost 21.6%. 51 trades and a 47% win rate for that? im good thanks lol
^ also glance at the deployment plan. target 1 and target 2 are both 0.00, the template ate the actual profit targets and nobody proofread before publishing
Funny table on the DCA side. Lump sum at +4.1% beat every single split, usually it’s the reverse. And the poor souls on 4 buys sitting at -6.2%, brutal timing
so the 2 year backtest LOST 21.6% and underperformed buy and hold, and the verdict is still BUY with high conviction? lol ok
rsi 45 and macd bearish but sure, stage 2 uptrend. the adx 30.5 is doing all the heavy lifting here
The stop loss at 0.18 is sensible with support there. But those Target 1 and Target 2 fields showing 0.00 look like a bug in the report.
^ noticed the same thing, targets at -100% lmao. someone shipped the template without filling the fields
Backtest log is just churning september trades at -0.1% and -1.6%, 47% win rate. This is a strategy that pays fees to go nowhere.
