After a Series of Losses, How Can You Tell If a Strategy Has Failed and Adjust Your Trading Mindset?

In cryptocurrency trading, a series of losses can easily make you doubt your strategy. Some people rush to switch indicators, others keep increasing leverage to try to win back their losses, while some open positions frequently out of anxiety despite having no trading signals. The real issue to address is not just the losses themselves, but how to determine where the problem lies.

First, distinguish a normal drawdown from a failed strategy. Any strategy can go through a series of losses, and

What exactly are a wallet mnemonic phrase and private key? Why are they so important?

In the Web3 world, creating a wallet is easy, but not everyone truly understands who controls it.

Many people know that they must not disclose their mnemonic phrase, but they may not understand how it differs from a private key or why they may still be able to recover a wallet after losing their phone.

To understand these questions, we first need to clarify three concepts.

I. What is a private key?

A private key is a piece of secret information used for cryptographic signing. In many blockchain wallets,

$OPENAI ‌
OpenAI has grown its quarterly revenue to $10 billion—a 50% increase on a quarterly basis—with corporate revenue doubling. At first glance, one might conclude that artificial intelligence is finally becoming a truly profitable business.

However, the story changes when you add one more line to the picture: the company’s operating loss for the same quarter stands at approximately $10.9 billion. In other words, for every dollar earned, more than a dollar has been spent. This isn’t growth; it is capital being "burned" to fuel growth—and the two are not the same. While revenue is easy t

When you buy an NFT, what do you actually own? The image, the copyright, or a record on the blockchain?

Many people encountering NFTs for the first time think of them as digital images that can be bought, collected, and resold.

But the core value of an NFT is not just the image itself. It lies in using the blockchain to record the ownership and transfer of a specific token. The key question is: What rights do you actually acquire when you buy an NFT?

I. Owning an NFT does not mean owning the copyright to the work

Buying an NFT usually means you gain control of that token on the correspondi

Why Can Long Positions Still Lose Money When the Funding Rate Is Positive?

In crypto perpetual futures trading, many people see a positive funding rate and assume the market is bullish, so holding a long position should make it easier to profit. But the funding rate reflects the payment mechanism between longs and shorts in the futures market; it does not guarantee that prices will rise.

First, a positive funding rate does not mean prices will definitely rise. A positive funding rate usually means longs pay funding fees to shorts, but prices can still be affected by spot selling pressure, ma

A few days ago, I saw a post that was exactly like the recent “I'm not a Chinese spy.” Chinese people are still far too quick to put themselves down.

Why can prices suddenly reverse even as open interest continues to rise?

In crypto contract trading, open interest (OI) is an important indicator for observing the market. It represents the number of contracts that have not yet been closed and can help us understand the level of market participation, but it cannot determine the direction of price movements on its own.

First, the price rises and open interest increases. This usually means new contract positions are entering the market, and capital may be continuing to participate in the rally. But new positions may come from either longs or s

I only find out the IP is blocked when Codex can’t access it
Is this risk-control misclassification related to the cloud provider, or are other AI companies’ risk controls too strict? Could this also be related to the fact that several of my Claude accounts have been banned over the past few days? 😭

What Is Order Book Depth? How Can the Distribution of Bids and Asks Help Determine the Potential Price Impact of Large Orders?

In cryptocurrency trading, the latest price shown on screen does not mean all traders can execute trades at that price. What really affects the execution of large orders is the number of buy and sell orders at different price levels. Order book depth can help traders assess the market’s ability to absorb orders and the potential price impact of buying and selling.

First, what is order book depth?

The order book records limit buy and sell orders in the market that ha

75411 top signal—I wrote it a day in advance! Both BTC short targets fully hit
This morning’s strategy was clear: short at 75500–75800, stop-loss at 76200, targets at 74200–73800
The market gave its answer: the high of 75411 met precise resistance; prices then drifted steadily lower, fully hitting the targets.
The entry was accurate down to the last digit, and the direction was right for the entire move. That’s what “make the call first, then wait for the price to come to you” means.#BTC #美国10月CPI全面超预期

Understand DeFi Protocols—Don’t Just Focus on APY: Where Does the Yield Come From, and Who Bears the Risk?

In DeFi (decentralized finance), one question that’s easy to overlook is: when a protocol advertises an attractive annual percentage yield, where exactly does that yield come from?

APY is just a way of presenting the result; it does not, on its own, prove that a protocol is worth participating in.

To assess whether a DeFi protocol is sustainable, you can start by looking at these four areas.

I. Where does the yield come from?

Yield may come from interest paid by borrowers, trading fe
