$DELL — CycleTrade Trend‑Following Observation (Not a Recommendation)
A friend asked about DELL, as to whether he should just lock in the gain but was concerned about a large tax implication.
As I am not a licenced tax advisor or stock broker, I cannot offer recommendations but I can provide my observation based on backtested results since 2020.
Pardon the mumbo jumbo, but the configuration that produced the highest profit with the lowest drawdown was: Supertrend entries only when the flip occurs above a deep exit line —
specifically 4×ATR below the 100EMA.
That setup resulted in only five buys over the period, yet delivered exceptional PnL and ultra‑low drawdown. It’s a slow, disciplined trend‑following approach — not a trading frenzy.
In this model, DELL is currently in the market, riding well above its exit line.
Me personally, I’d simply hold through — and from a tax perspective, carrying into next year would be fine.
These are backtested technical observations showing how structured entries and exits behave from a trend‑following perspective.
