What Is the Risk of Consecutive Losses? Why Can a Seemingly Reasonable Position Size Still Hurt Your Account After a Losing Streak?

In cryptocurrency trading, even if a strategy has positive expected value over the long term, that does not mean every trade will be profitable. Consecutive losses can occur in any trading system, and without risk planning in advance, a seemingly reasonable position size can gradually erode account capital.

First, what is the risk of consecutive losses?

The risk of consecutive losses refers to the impact of multiple back-to-back losing trades on account equity,

‌#AnthropicLaunchesNasdaqIPORoadshow

Anthropic’s initial public offering (IPO) process on the Nasdaq—under the ticker symbol “ANT”—marks a critical juncture for investments in technology and artificial intelligence. Following the company’s formal filing on October 26, the subsequent roadshow has encountered significant downward revisions in valuation expectations, driven by recent market volatility.

Downward Revisions in Valuation Expectations

Anthropic’s IPO valuation is currently subject to considerable uncertainty, contingent upon prevailing market conditions. Initial discussions, w

The U.S. October CPI data will be released tonight at 21:30. The headline CPI monthly rate is expected to fall to 0.30% from the previous reading of 0.60%, while the core CPI monthly rate is expected to decline to 0.20% from 0.30%. The market expects inflationary pressures to ease.

There are three main scenarios for the release:

In line with or below expectations: Cooling inflation is confirmed, rate-cut expectations may rise, and the market could recover.

A stronger-than-expected rebound: Stokes concerns that inflation is persistent, revives expectations of tighter policy, and may put pres

🚨 $BTC at a make or break level — bounce or breakdown?

Bitcoin is trading around $74,800, holding just above the 200-day moving average ($73,194) after dumping from $87K down to the $73,400 low.

📊 Chart structure:

• Price is well below the 50-day MA ($81,466) — the trend is still bearish

• RSI (14) is at 32.3 — near oversold, sellers are getting exhausted

• MACD is still bearish, but momentum is slowing right into the demand zone

🔑 Key levels:

Resistance: $75,500–$76,200 zone, then $81,200 (50-day MA area)

Support: $73,200–$73,400 demand zone (30-day low), then $70,000

$BTC This price action looks a lot like the market before past escalations in Middle East tensions—not in terms of price, but in that numb feeling of “the news hasn’t landed yet, so the market is pretending nothing’s happening.” For example, around the escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict in April 2024, BTC first traded sideways near $70,000, while trading volume during the Asian session dropped noticeably. Once the news broke, it quickly pulled back to around $61,000, then recovered as sentiment settled. The early stages of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023 were similar: prices drop

Reality has repeatedly taught people to leave themselves a way out. They don't dare quit their jobs lightly or take time off when they get sick. Buying a home, retirement, children's education—which of these doesn't require money? It's not that many people don't want to spend; they just don't dare. When real difficulties arise, others may not be able to bail you out. Ultimately, the sense of security people talk about still has to be supported by their own savings.
At the end of the day, it's not that people don't want to enjoy life. It's the uncertainty of the future that makes them prepare i

What Is Survivorship Bias? Why Can Studying Only Cryptocurrencies That Still Exist Today Overestimate Strategy Returns?

In the cryptocurrency market, some traders select currently popular and actively traded coins for historical backtesting, then use the results to judge whether a strategy is effective. But if they ignore projects that have been delisted, lost liquidity over time, or performed very poorly, the backtest results may be systematically biased. This phenomenon is known as survivorship bias.

First, what is survivorship bias?

It refers to focusing only on objects that still exist

#标普500创7个月最大涨幅
S&P 500 posts its biggest daily gain in seven months: Is the AI rally back?

My take: This is an encouraging sign for U.S. stocks, but a single strong trading session is not enough to confirm that the "AI trade" has regained its upward momentum.

There are two competing explanations:

* A technical rebound: Investors had become overly pessimistic following the recent sell-off. Short covering, bargain hunting, and institutional buying helped drive stocks higher.

* Renewed AI optimism: Investors may be growing more confident that AI-related spending will continue to translate

U.S. equity markets have staged a sharp recovery in recent sessions, with the S&P 500 climbing approximately 2.35% to around 7,549–7,550 and the Nasdaq Composite advancing roughly 2.74% to near 25,253 on the latest close.

This rebound follows earlier volatility tied to labor data and policy uncertainty. Bitcoin, however, remains under pressure near $74,700–$75,300, down about 0.5–1% in the most recent sessions and significantly off its earlier highs near $86,000. Ethereum trades around $2,120, reflecting similar risk-off sentiment in crypto with declines in t
