Pre-Trade Checklist: Answer These 7 Questions Before Placing an Order

In the cryptocurrency market, many traders have had experiences like these:

They see the market rising, worry about missing out, and rush into a trade.

They see the price falling, worry their losses will grow, and change their stop-loss on the fly.

After making a few consecutive profitable trades, they start increasing their position size.

After a loss, they rush to make the money back with the next trade.

Taken individually, each decision seems to have its own rationale.

Up 200 one day, down 200 the next. Yesterday's high reached 2449, while today's low plunged to 2205, making for an almost 500-point A-shaped crash in two days. The longs were still celebrating wildly yesterday, thinking the bull market was back, but today the market showed a completely different face and taught them a lesson.

Look at the chart now: the daily candle is a huge bearish candle that engulfed everything, while the 4-hour chart has formed a guillotine pattern, even breaking below the low

What Is Statistical Arbitrage? How Can Historical Relationships Between Assets Reveal Trading Opportunities, and Why Might Historical Correlations Suddenly Break Down?

In the crypto market, some assets have long displayed similar price movements. When their historical relationship temporarily deviates, traders may try to use that divergence to identify opportunities.

$BTC The current trend is clearly weak, down 5.96% over the past 24 hours. The key driver behind this sell-off is the forced liquidation of long positions—long liquidations reached $108 million, more than twice the amount of short liquidations. Of the $7.20 billion in total contract open interest, only a small portion was wiped out this time, with a large number of long positions still stacked below.

$BTC ‌
Overview and Macro Structure
Bitcoin is currently exhibiting a pronounced bearish structure on the intraday charts. Following a rejection near the 80,949.2 local high, the asset has undergone a significant distribution phase, culminating in a sharp impulsive move to the downside.

What Is a Market Maker? How Do They Improve Market Liquidity by Providing Buy and Sell Quotes, and What Risks Do They Face?

In the cryptocurrency market, whether a trade can be executed quickly depends not only on the willingness of buyers and sellers, but also on whether sufficient liquidity is available. Market makers are important participants in providing market liquidity, but they are not intermediaries who are guaranteed to profit.

First, what is a market maker?
