What is break-even win rate? How high must a trading strategy’s win rate be to cover trading costs?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people know their win rate but do not know how high it needs to be to actually make a profit. If winning trades earn little while losing trades lose a lot, even getting more trades right may still result in a loss. The break-even win rate can help traders understand the minimum performance a strategy needs to achieve.

First, what is the break-even win rate?

The break-even win rate is the minimum win rate required for long-term expected returns to equal zero, ex

BTC Trading Risk Management Guide: How to Protect Your Principal?

In cryptocurrency markets, many people study how to make money every day, but few seriously consider how to protect their principal. In fact, one of the most important skills in trading is not seizing every opportunity to profit from a rise, but retaining enough funds to keep trading when unexpected market volatility occurs.

So, how should you build a risk management system?

First, control position size. Don’t invest all your funds at once just because you’re bullish on BTC. You can limit the risk of a single trade to around

Speaking of which, I reposted this person’s $BCH trade earlier today, and here they are again—really quick on the trigger😂
Whether to follow and how much to allocate is up to you. Sis is only here to relay it, not to carry the trade.

ETF outflows of $430 million in a single day are more worth watching than the price itself. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $430.2 million in one day, while Ethereum ETFs lost $99.97 million over the same period, nearly $100 million. More than $400 million in withdrawals in a single day is no small amount for any thematic ETF, especially when it comes from spot Bitcoin ETFs, which makes the signal even more significant. Coincidentally, the Nasdaq fell 5.52% that same day. Tech stocks broke down first, and crypto followed with outflows. A 5.52% single-day drop is among the steeper pu

A new round of the Premier League: Everton vs Coventry
Everton host Coventry, and this one should be worth watching. The Toffees are currently 7th with 13 points from 9 games, and have just beaten Newcastle twice in a row (1-0 away in the league + 3-1 in the cup), so they're in great form.
Their defense is solid, with plenty of clean sheets, and Barry has been scoring a lot lately. Coventry are 16th with 9 points. They had a disastrous start but have recently bounced back, winning 3-1 at home against Sunderland. But they're really poor away from home: they've scored just 2 goals in 4 away game

Why do some people make money while others lose with the same trading signal?

In the cryptocurrency market, a common phenomenon occurs:

Two people see the same market conditions, use similar indicators, and even correctly predict the market’s direction at the same time.

In the end, one makes money, while the other exits at a loss.

Where does the problem lie?

Many people’s first thought is that their entry timing wasn’t good enough, or that their market judgment wasn’t accurate enough.

But if you’ve observed enough trades, you’ll discover a more thought-provoking question:

What’s even more noteworthy is that the biggest losses came from the AI supply chain that had previously supported the US stock market’s rise. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index even fell more than 12%

After the Democrats won the midterm elections, the market began to worry that data center construction would face more regulatory restrictions. Combined with ongoing questions about the returns on AI investments,

Long-term market outlook reference

BTC currently at 75585.1, ETH currently at 2221.00
Both major assets have completed a pullback after a rally over the larger time frame. This is a cyclical consolidation following an upswing; the long-term bottom structure remains intact, and downside room is gradually narrowing, making it unsuitable to chase shorts. Wait for a retest of the long-term support zone and, once signs of stabilization emerge, build a core position in batches to position for a new upward trend.

Long-term strategy: scale in on pullbacks
BTC: wait for a pullback to 73000‑74500; fir

The drop in the storage sector this time has been pretty extreme 😑

SanDisk $SNDK plunged more than 22% overnight, Micron $MU fell over 17%, and South Korea's SK Hynix $SKHYNIX was also down over 13% at one point in morning trading

Several storage leaders have been hit by selling almost simultaneously. What's going on with the market? Here are some personal thoughts

Previously, the market's pricing logic for storage was very clear: the expansion of AI computing power drove HBM demand, data center investment boosted DRAM and NAND demand, and relatively tight supply further reinforced expe
