What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Can You Measure Whether the Returns From a Trading Strategy Are Worth the Risk?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high return does not necessarily mean a strategy is good. If a strategy can generate high returns but comes with sharp volatility and significant drawdowns, we need to further assess whether those returns are worth the associated risk. The Sharpe ratio is one tool that can help answer this question.
First, what is the Sharpe ratio?
The Sharpe ratio measures the excess return earned by a portfolio or trading strategy per unit of volatility risk. Generally, t

What is trade expectancy? Why does it reflect a strategy’s long-term profitability better than win rate alone?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high win rate does not necessarily mean making money, and a low win rate does not necessarily mean losing money. What really matters is how much profit or loss each trade generates on average when you consistently trade by the same rules. That is the core meaning of trade expectancy.
First, what is trade expectancy?
Trade expectancy (EV) is a metric that combines win rate, average profit, and average loss to estimate the long-term average result per trade.

Reviewing yesterday’s market action with everyone: regarding the short setup I shared earlier, I repeatedly emphasized that the initial position should be small and risk management must always come first.
Yesterday’s sudden explosive rally was driven by a complex mix of news. I had expected the market to pull back once the anticipated outcome was announced, and many market participants were positioning based on those expectations. This was compounded by the positive impact of the sharp drop in oil prices. The bill was originally expected to be delayed, but then news emerged that it would conti

Many people are unsure where Crypto is headed after the midterm elections, but Ajian’s view is that Democrats winning both the House and Senate is neither a sure-fire positive for Crypto nor an outright negative. The market tends to compress political outcomes into a single candle to trade—for example, yesterday’s sharp drop in $TRUMP —but the chain of effects through laws, institutions, and budgets moves much more slowly. Banks and payment companies won’t immediately halt financial infrastructure development just because political uncertainty has increased; they care more about where the comp

How should position size be calculated? Why is it more reasonable to determine the risk amount first and then decide how much to buy?
In crypto trading, many people tend to assess the market first and then decide how much to buy, overlooking the most important question: if their judgment is wrong, how much of a loss can they actually afford to bear? Sound position management should start with a risk budget, not potential returns.
First, determine the amount of risk you can afford to take.
Suppose your account has 1,000 USDT and you plan to limit the risk on a single trade to 1% of your account

#SKHynixFallsNearly7% #DailyStandouts $SKHY
Korean chips took a beating today, and I’d rather not file it under “just profit-taking” without checking the evidence. SK Hynix was down nearly 7% early, and by midday it was closer to 8%. Samsung fell around 5%, and the KOSPI dropped as much as 5.2% at the low, which triggered a short sell-side trading curb. Here is how I read it.
1. The move, in numbers
The KOSPI opened down about 1.8%, then slid to roughly -4% by midday. SK Hynix fell about twice as hard as the index. And this isn’t a one-day story: the index already dropped 3.6% two sessions ag
