What Is the Calmar Ratio? Why Is Maximum Drawdown Also an Important Metric for Evaluating Trading Strategies?

In cryptocurrency trading, some strategies deliver high annual returns but have also experienced substantial account losses, while others generate relatively lower returns but have smaller maximum drawdowns. Comparing only final returns can easily overlook the risks an account was exposed to along the way. The Calmar Ratio is a metric that helps us consider returns and maximum drawdown together.

First, what is the Calmar Ratio?

The Calmar Ratio is usually calculated by dividing the

Monday market order alert! The 743 long position has been entered. Those looking to trade ETH can follow along. Reasons: First, bearish momentum has already been released, so chasing shorts now may not offer an ideal risk-reward ratio. Second, BTC’s 200-day moving average is currently near 73170, where a structural rebound may form. Set the stop-loss at 72900; if it breaks below that level, take the short-term loss and exit. #美国10月CPI即将公布 #BTC闪崩插针

Jensen Huang controversy sets the market ablaze! Is NVDA’s 2.2% drop just the beginning, or are investors overly nervous?

NVIDIA shares fell as much as about 2.2% after hours, and the market is beginning to worry that the Jensen Huang incident could become a new risk for NVDA.
The controversy has several dimensions: personal reputation, board governance, foreign intelligence risks, and AI chip export controls.
Among these, management uncertainty may be what the market amplifies most.
Jensen Huang is the soul of NVIDIA. From GPUs to AI data centers, his strategic decisions have a huge impact o

Unitree jumped as much as 12% to about RMB 735, and the usual question is whether this is a new wave for humanoid robots or just another volatile day. I’ll answer it by letting the bull and the bear speak first, then checking the numbers.

What set it off

A research paper from Apple’s team described a robot control system that was tested on Unitree’s G1 humanoid. It reached an average success rate of 91% across 360 trials in six environments the robot had never seen. Physical AI and humanoid names rallied together in China, and a few hit their dai

#GateRanksThirdIn24HNetInflows
Gate posted about $40.66 million in net inflows over 24 hours, third among centralized exchanges. The easy headline is that money is flowing in because of confidence. I’d rather test that claim than repeat it.

What the number is

It is one 24 hour snapshot from a public tracker that estimates flows using the wallets an exchange has disclosed. That makes it an estimate, and a single day can be distorted by wallet moves or price changes. Useful, but not a precise measure of user confidence.

The ranking keeps changing

💰 The market continues to fluctuate, while Gate's 24-hour net inflows rank among the top three globally

According to DefiLlama data, Gate recorded net inflows of about $40.66 million over the past 24 hours, ranking third among centralized exchanges worldwide. 🏆

Amid market volatility, fund flows have once again become a focus of attention.

Some believe inflows reflect trading demand and market confidence; others think short-term inflows may simply result from portfolio adjustments, margin top-ups, or waiting for the next trading opportunity.

Inflows are a positive signal, but more data is needed to determine whether they can translate into sustained buying pressure.

💬 What do you think will be more important to watch next: spot trading volume, sustained fund inflows, or BTC's price performance?

#70%OfAltcoinsFallBelow200DMA $XRP $SOL #ShareWeekly
Seven out of ten altcoins below their 200 day average sounds like a clean bearish signal. Before I react to it, I want to understand what the number really measures, because I think it says less than it appears to.

What the indicator measures

The 200 day average is the average closing price over the last 200 days, and traders use it to separate long uptrends from downtrends. The reading counts how many altcoins on a large exchange sit below that line. It is a yes or no test. A coin that is 1% under the line counts the same as a coin that

What Is Walk-Forward Backtesting? Why Might a Fixed Historical Dataset Fail to Adapt to a Changing Crypto Market?

In the cryptocurrency market, a strategy may perform exceptionally well during an uptrend over the past two years, yet incur frequent losses in the choppy market that follows.

This does not necessarily mean the strategy has no value at all; the market environment may have changed. If a trading strategy is developed and tested using only a fixed set of historical data, it may not fully reflect how well it can adapt across different periods.

Can I ask something? Why did the 09:00 candle plunge to 54.83 and then close at 55.99?
It traded 791,000 contracts, the most all day, and buyers stepped in immediately after the plunge.
Then the 10:00 candle shot straight up to 57.24—does that count as a reversal?
Volume was only 346,000 contracts, 44% of the 09:00 candle's, and it gave all that back over the next seven hours.
So what exactly is 55.49 stuck at now?

#NvidiaCEOUnderInvestigation $NVDA #ShareWeekly
First, this post is about market risk, not anyone’s private life. The question for a stock is whether a personal story can turn into a governance, regulatory or valuation story. Here is how I separate what we know from what we don’t.

What is confirmed

On Sunday, Jensen Huang wrote to employees, apologized to his family and said he was unfaithful to his wife. The board announced an independent investigation, run by independent directors with outside counsel. The board said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were co
