Mid-Chop Exit vs Trend Hold — How One Setting Changed Everything

91
SUI’s trend looked solid — but the strategy didn’t hold.

Using the MACD Liquidity Tracker Strategy with default settings (Signal MA = 220), the system caught the initial move well, but then exited during consolidation. It missed the continuation and had to re-enter late — resulting in more trades and reduced edge.

After running a few backtests, we increased the Signal MA to 550 to reduce early exits. The result:

Strategy held through the mid-trend chop

PNL more than doubled

Drawdown increased slightly, but the trade stayed intact

This is a perfect case study on how signal sensitivity affects trend behavior. Faster MAs respond quicker but tend to exit on noise. Slower MAs smooth it out — at the cost of larger swings.

Both versions are valid — but backtesting revealed which better fit this market structure.
No settings are one-size-fits-all — the key is understanding how each tweak behaves.
