Why Are Traders More Likely to Take Excessive Risks After a Winning Streak?

In the cryptocurrency market, there is an easily overlooked risk: after a winning streak, people may actually become less cautious.

After several profitable trades in a row, traders can develop the illusion that they have mastered the market’s rhythm and are likely to correctly predict what comes next. So they start increasing their position sizes, loosening their entry criteria, and even ignoring the stop-loss rules they used to follow strictly.

But the market won’t guarantee you’ll be right today just because you

$ETH Current price: 2230.75, down 7.99% in 24h, with a trading volume of 909.4M USDT; RSI at 29.4 has entered oversold territory, and the MACD histogram at +1.265 shows bullish momentum quietly building, but MA5=2229.21 remains below MA20=2254.11, so the trend has not reversed. The funding rate is positive at +0.0049%; with price plunging and the rate not falling, this indicates crowded shorts and longs passively holding losing positions, with funding not yet truly turning around. The Fear and Greed Index is at 28, in the fear zone; sentiment is bearish but nearing an extreme, increasing the

# Why Might a Strategy That Once Worked Gradually Stop Working?

If a trading strategy once generated profits consistently, why might it start losing frequently a few months later, or even after a longer period?

Has the market changed, or is there something wrong with the strategy itself?

This question is especially worth considering in digital asset markets. Market participants, liquidity, volatility patterns, and trading behavior can all change. Opportunities that could once be captured may not last forever.

**A strategy that once worked only shows that it performed well under certain con

People ask me where I find all these great projects (actually, nobody asked).

One very classic and effective way is to check GitHub’s rankings.

Another is Hugging Face’s model list page. Remember to sort by recently created—you can often find fun models there.

Yesterday’s 11.5 ETH Long/Short Strategy Review (Repost)

[translate-ref-0]: $ETH
The short was entered around 2440 yesterday morning and exited around 2240, capturing a 200-point move.
Mistake: Opened a long around 2388 before the evening session opened and exited at 2343, losing 45 points.
Entered and exited in step with BTC; no stop-loss was set. An unconventional losing trade.

[Strategy Review]:
Expected a breakout above 2480 followed by a pullback, but price failed to break the 2450 level.
Both the long and short strategies failed, and the broader downtrend continued.

11.5 ETH public strategy
[Short strategy] $ETH
　　Entry range: around 2480-2500
　　Stop-loss: 2520
Take-profit tiers
　　First target: 2460
　　Second target: 2420
Third target: around 2380
Fourth target: below 2350

Trading factors: Price has returned to the upper Bollinger Band, creating short-term selling pressure. Short-term moving averages are turning upward, and short-term bullish momentum is strong. This is a recovery pattern after being oversold, with the rally outperforming BTC. Market depth shows a slight bullish edge; the ratio is expected to even out, forming a trading range.

Trading suggestion: After the market forms a high-level range, short near 2480 and go long near 2400.
Note the short-term support at 2400.

$BTC fell 5.95% in the 24 hours to Nov 6, yet order flow was among the least one sided in 90 days. US traders have bid below the global price for 62 straight days. On $ADA , leveraged longs were forced out as open bets shrank 12.9%.

Yesterday, I said $AKE looked good around $0.0026 and pointed to targets at $0.0035 → $0.0042 → $0.0050. Today, it surged straight to $0.005 and rose more than 100% from its low. 👀 is currently seeing new sell orders around $0.0052–$0.0064, but I don’t think this will suddenly turn the entire trend bearish. Some resistance is normal after a rally like this. As long as buyers continue to absorb these sell walls, I still think this $AKE rally has room to run.

U.S. stocks saw a sharp correction overnight, with chip, server, and data center stocks all under pressure. AI’s high valuations are once again being put to the test.

From “who is investing the most in computing power” to “who can actually make money with AI.”

# How to Build a Trading Strategy Evaluation Checklist That Works for You?

In the previous sections, we discussed why trading strategies fail, why backtest profits do not guarantee live-trading profits, and how to adjust a strategy when market conditions change.

But all these questions ultimately lead to a more practical one:

**What criteria should we use to decide whether a trading strategy is worth continuing to use?**

Many traders tend to look at a few straightforward numbers: returns, win rate, and maximum drawdown.

These metrics are certainly important, but looking at any one of them
