Why Can a Strategy Perform Well in Backtests Yet Continue Losing Money in Live Trading?

A trading strategy may have a high win rate in backtests, a steadily rising equity curve, and an apparently acceptable maximum drawdown.

But once it is deployed in the market, the results can be completely different: trading costs keep accumulating, actual execution prices deviate from expectations, and several consecutive trades lose money, gradually undermining the credibility of the once-impressive equity curve.

So where exactly does the problem lie?

Backtesting measures a strategy’s performance unde

Tong Ge's 11.12 ETH outlook
$ETH Enter short around 2070-2090, stop loss at 2110, targets 2030-2000-1950.

Let's review yesterday's god-tier setup: Yesterday's high touched 2103, just 7 points short of the 2110 stop loss we gave, defending perfectly! Then the market immediately showed its true colors, plunging all the way to a low of 2034. Did the brothers who followed the setup firmly capture this 69-point move? Was that a satisfying bite?

Look at the market now: the pullback after the spike shows that selling pressure above 2100 is as heavy as a mountain. The price is now hovering around 20

Connecting to a DApp Doesn’t Mean You’ve Completed an Operation: What Exactly Is a Web3 Wallet Authorizing?

In the Web3 world, a wallet is not only used to receive and send digital assets, but is also an important gateway for users to interact with decentralized applications (DApps).

You may have connected to DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, or on-chain games. Clicking “Connect Wallet” may seem like just a small step, but connecting, signing, and authorizing transactions are different actions.

November 12, 2026 Daily Analysis
The near-term outlook and market environment are poor, with no strong upward trend... There are no particularly positive macro catalysts. Without positive news, short positions can follow the broader trend, with wicks down to 69,100, 68,500, 1,865, and 1,780. If Trump has some governing authority, bearish pressure could continue for a while.

For the day: Focus mainly on range-bound shorts... Only take shorts in the direction of the trend. I don't recommend longing a bottom bounce. If no short entry comes during the day, gradually build a position...

$ZEC LONG SETUP — BUYERS FIGHTING BACK FROM THE LOWS!

Entry: 1,000.44
SL: 948.00

TP1: 1,025.00
TP2: 1,055.00
TP3: 1,100.00

$ZEC is showing early recovery signs after bouncing from 950.89. Buyers are attempting to reclaim the 1,000 level, but the broader trend remains under pressure. Holding above 980 could support a stronger rebound toward 1,055 and beyond.

Invalidation: A sustained break below 948 weakens the recovery setup.

Stablecoins Are Not Bank Deposits: 4 Differences You Must Understand Before Using Them

In the Web3 world, stablecoins are often used for trade settlement, cross-border transfers, on-chain payments, and decentralized finance.

Because many stablecoins are pegged to the U.S. dollar, many users assume that as long as the price stays close to $1, they are much like the dollars in a bank account.

But there are several very important differences between the two.

First, a price peg is not a guarantee of principal.

Stablecoins typically use reserve assets, redemption mechanisms, or other designs t
