How Should You Read Order Book Depth? How to Identify Real Buying and Selling Pressure

In crypto trading, many people see a buildup of buy orders and assume the price has support; they see a dense cluster of sell orders and conclude that the market is about to fall. But the order book only shows the current state of limit orders—it does not guarantee future market movements.

What is order book depth? Simply put, it shows limit buy and sell orders at different price levels. Buy orders are usually below the current traded price, while sell orders are usually above it. Observing these orders ca

What is the difference between isolated and cross margin? Which margin mode is better for controlling risk?

In crypto futures trading, isolated and cross margin are two common margin modes. Many traders focus only on leverage while overlooking how margin mode affects account risk. Even with the same leverage, different margin modes can lead to completely different risk exposures.

The core of isolated margin is to manage the margin for a particular position relatively independently. When that position incurs losses, the risk is usually concentrated mainly within the margin allocated to it. Tr

Blockchain Is Not a Magical Ledger: How Is a Transaction Verified, Recorded, and Shared?

Many people have heard of blockchain and know it is related to Bitcoin, smart contracts, and Web3, but not many truly understand how it works.

The key to blockchain is not just storing data in a block, but enabling multiple participants to verify and record data according to shared rules, and maintaining ledger consistency through specific mechanisms.

What Is a Trailing Stop? How Can You Protect Existing Profits While Leaving as Much Room as Possible for the Trend to Continue?

In cryptocurrency trading, after prices rise, many traders face a dilemma: closing now could mean missing further gains, while continuing to hold means risking a sudden reversal. A trailing stop is a way to dynamically adjust the exit point, with the aim of gradually protecting existing profits when the market moves favorably while avoiding exiting too early.

First, what is a trailing stop?

A trailing stop means adjusting the stop-loss level based on price movement

What Is Trading System Backtesting? How Can You Use Historical Data to Test a Strategy Instead of Judging Its Effectiveness by Feel?

In cryptocurrency trading, a strategy that seems logical is not necessarily profitable. Trading system backtesting means applying clearly defined trading rules to historical market data, simulating past trades, and evaluating the strategy’s returns, risks, and consistency.

First, what should you define before backtesting?

Start by defining the assets to trade, time frame, entry conditions, stop-loss and take-profit rules, position size, and exit conditions. Th

What is stress testing? When the market suddenly crashes, liquidity dries up, or slippage widens, how can you test whether a trading strategy can withstand extreme market conditions?

In crypto trading, even a strategy that performs well under normal market conditions may suffer severe losses during a sudden crash, a sharp drop in trading volume, or extreme price volatility. Stress testing proactively simulates adverse market conditions and examines a strategy’s drawdown, consecutive losses, and risk exposure to identify problems that regular backtesting may not reveal.

If You Lose 10 Trades in a Row, How Can You Tell Whether Your Strategy Has Truly Failed?

In crypto futures trading, consecutive losses are a problem many traders encounter. The most dangerous thing is not the losses themselves, but beginning to doubt your strategy after a losing streak, changing parameters at random, or even continually increasing position sizes to try to win back your losses.

So, does losing 10 trades in a row mean your trading strategy has failed?

First, look at its historical win rate. If a strategy has a long-term win rate of 60%, then 10 consecutive losses are indeed u
