Why Can a Trading Strategy with a High Win Rate Still Lose Money Over the Long Term?

A trading strategy with an 80% win rate sounds excellent, doesn’t it?

But suppose you make 100 trades, win 80 times and earn $10 each time, and lose 20 times and lose $50 each time.

What’s the final result?

Profits: 80 × 10 = $800

Losses: 20 × 50 = $1,000

A final loss of $200, not including fees and slippage.

That’s why you can’t judge a trading strategy by its win rate alone.

What really determines long-term returns is the relationship between the win rate

On the eve of Anthropic’s IPO, what the market is most anticipating isn’t Claude, but this valuation battle!

The AI sector is seeing another major event! Anthropic has launched its IPO roadshow, planning to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, with a reference offering price of $70–78 and a fully diluted valuation of up to approximately $1.4 trillion.
What does this mean? AI companies are no longer content to be stars in the tech world—they are beginning to face the true test of public capital markets.
The reasons the market is bullish are straightforward: growing AI demand, the competitivene

#RedBullDoublePodiumInBrazil From P21 to Double Podium in Brazil and a Strategic Summit in Milton Keynes: Gate × Red Bull Racing Accelerates Into a New Era
Few partnerships in global sports and digital finance demonstrate shared momentum quite like Gate and Oracle Red Bull Racing. Over a single weekend in November 2026, the alliance delivered standout achievements both on the rain-slicked asphalt of Interlagos and inside the engineering headquarters of Formula 1’s premier racing outfit.
While fans around the world celebrated a remarkable double podium at the 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix, Gate Fou

Late last night, I was looking to jump into a new meme coin, and a friend sent me a contract address. My first thought was to check whether it was listed on Gate. Turns out it was, so I placed a limit order and got in. The market depth was much better than I expected, and the slippage was impressively low. Honestly, after using it for years, what gives me the most peace of mind is its security track record—operating for all these years without a single incident is pretty rare in this space. Withdrawals also arrive in seconds. A few days ago, I made a withdrawal right after staking, and the who

Does a price breakout above resistance mean a rally is about to begin?

In crypto trading, many people have experienced this:

The price finally breaks through a key resistance level, and trading volume also increases. Traders think a rally is about to begin and chase the move, only for the price to suddenly reverse and fall back into its previous range.

This is the “false breakout” often discussed in trading.

What really needs to be judged is not just whether the price has broken out, but whether the market can continue to accept higher prices afterward.

Where Is Money Flowing as Global Capital Reprices Risk Assets?

Recently, a phenomenon worth watching has emerged in global financial markets: capital is shifting among stocks, cryptocurrencies, gold, and bonds.

Many investors see Bitcoin falling and U.S. tech stocks correcting and conclude that global capital is fleeing the markets across the board. But the reality may be more complex: capital has not simply disappeared; it is reassessing risk, returns, and liquidity.

According to recent public data, in the week ended November 4, global equity funds saw net inflows of about $38.63 billion,

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 is easy to overlook: when a protocol advertises an attractive annual percentage yield, where does that yield actually come from?

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

To assess whether a DeFi protocol is sustainable, consider these four aspects.

1. Where does the yield come from?

Yield may come from interest paid by borrowers, trading fees, liquidity incentiv

A reminder: don’t try to buy the dip! This time, the Democrats are out to take Huang down! When DeepSeek burst onto the scene, the U.S. stock market shed only around 1 trillion. But with one stroke of inspiration from Huang, NVIDIA single-handedly wiped out 2 trillion. The Democrats’ move is: Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, but his real target is Liu Bang. To see the other side of this chess game—from “sweeping Huang” to “de-Taiwanization”—you first have to understand the semiconductor industry itself. Semiconductors really are dominated by Taiwanese players: with NVIDIA at the center, TSMC

Why can trading more frequently actually make it harder to achieve stable returns?

Many traders believe that the more trades they make, the more likely they are to seize opportunities.

They see the price rise and want to enter; they see it pull back and want to buy the dip; after a stop-loss, they are eager to look for the next opportunity.

By the end of the day, they have more trades recorded and have paid more fees, but their account returns may not have grown accordingly.

The problem is that more trading opportunities do not mean more valid opportunities.

$JCT Halved in a day, down 25% in 24 hours, plunging straight from 0.0085 to 0.0045, with 427 million in trading volume—this isn’t a pullback; it’s a scramble for the exits.
First, the market action. $JCT opened today near 0.006. After 10 a.m., it sold off in successive waves on rising volume, with every rebound pushed back down by even larger sell orders—a classic cascade of profit-taking and stop-losses hitting together. The 24-hour low was 0.0044, and it’s now hovering at 0.0045, right near the floor. Trading value of 427 million shows extremely heavy turnover. A lot of panic selling has al

How to Choose a Crypto Wallet? Security Is Only the First Step; What Really Matters Is Finding One That Suits Your Use Case

In the Web3 world, wallets are important tools for managing digital assets. But when faced with hot wallets, hardware wallets, custodial wallets, and non-custodial wallets, many people fall into a misconception:

Are more complex and expensive wallets necessarily safer?

In fact, choosing a wallet isn’t just about marketing claims or security labels. It’s more important to understand how different wallets handle control, ease of use, recovery mechanisms, and potential ri

How can you protect your crypto assets? Building the right security habits is what really matters

In the Web3 world, asset security depends not only on which wallet you use or which trading platform you choose, but also on your day-to-day habits.

Many asset losses are not caused by investors misreading the market, but by leaked private keys, mistakenly signing malicious approvals, clicking phishing links, or neglecting account security settings.

Rather than waiting until something goes wrong with your assets to look for a solution, it’s better to establish a comprehensive security strategy
