When everyone is using similar strategies, does the original edge still exist?

In trading markets, there is a change that is easy to overlook.

A strategy may have performed exceptionally well for a long time. It has clear entry conditions, a good win rate, and a relatively stable returns curve. But over time, more and more traders begin using similar indicators, the same breakout logic, and even similar stop-loss and take-profit rules. The method that once worked gradually loses its edge.

At this point, many people’s first reaction is: Have the parameters stopped working? Should the indicat

Hi, I'm Elias, guys.
We will ultimately put it into practice. The core principle: patience first.

A unified swing-trading setup with wide stop-losses and wide take-profits. Market sweeps in choppy conditions are normal; leave room for the market to move and avoid getting shaken out.
Don't exit early because of small or moderate pullbacks. Many people leave midway and ultimately miss the move.
Please don't add stop-losses on your own; choppy markets can easily sweep your orders and make you miss a reversal.
Those who can't withstand drawdowns will leave during the next one, even if they choose

Someone on-chain made the first move.

Lookonchain spotted a trade: more than two hours ago, an address opened a 10x long position on 450,000 LINK, with $5.18 million in exposure—a clear directional bet.

At the same time, LINK was still sliding: $10.69, down 7.4% in 24 hours, ranging from $11.65 to $10.53 intraday, a swing of over ten points, with $264 million in 24-hour trading volume. Its $10.7 billion market cap ranks it fifteenth. It has fallen 23% over the past month and is now worth less than a fifth of its former peak of 52.96.

#ETHDrops5.5%
My initial take: The 5.5% drop in ETH appears to be a combination of a broader market trend toward risk aversion and weaknesses specific to Ethereum, rather than just a sell-off driven by tech stocks.

Instead of viewing this decline as an immediate buying opportunity, I would prefer to wait for some form of confirmation.

The critical distinction here is: Is ETH simply tracking the broader market downturn, or is capital actively flowing out of Ethereum?

1. To what extent is the sell-off driven by tech stocks?

What is break-even win rate? How high must a trading strategy’s win rate be to cover trading costs?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people know their win rate but do not know how high it needs to be to actually make a profit. If winning trades earn little while losing trades lose a lot, even getting more trades right may still result in a loss. The break-even win rate can help traders understand the minimum performance a strategy needs to achieve.

First, what is the break-even win rate?

Why Can Small Orders Cause Significant Slippage When Liquidity Is Low?

In the cryptocurrency market, many people believe that only large trades can affect execution prices.

But that is not always the case.

Sometimes, an order that does not look particularly large can still be filled at a price significantly different from what was expected.

Why?

Because the execution price depends not only on how much you want to buy, but also on the prices at which the market can provide enough liquidity at that moment.
