Does a high win rate mean a strategy is excellent? Why does profitability also depend on the profit-loss ratio?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people see a high win rate as proof of strong trading skills, but frequent wins do not necessarily mean long-term profits. If each win is small while a single loss can be huge, the account may keep shrinking even with a high win rate. What really matters is the combined effect of the win rate, profit-loss ratio, and trading costs.

First, what are the win rate and profit-loss ratio?

The win rate is the proportion of profitable trades out of all trade

Why Can Prices Continue to Fall Even When MACD Shows Bullish Divergence?

In the crypto market, MACD bullish divergence is often seen as a potential reversal signal, but many traders find that prices can continue to fall even after bullish divergence appears. This is because weakening momentum does not mean the downtrend is over.

First, what is MACD bullish divergence?

When prices keep making new lows while the MACD indicator’s lows gradually rise, bullish divergence may be forming. This means downward momentum may be weakening, but it does not prove that buyers have taken control.

I hedged PREDICT at 1.15 earlier, and a few days ago it surged to 1.3, almost turning me into the project’s most devoted believer.
Now I’m finally back in the green.
When I opened the position: This is a disciplined hedge.
When I was sitting on an unrealized loss: Who the hell is buying???
My confidence is finally back😀

Anthropic IPO Is 6x Oversubscribed: Is This the Biggest Test of AI Investor Confidence?

MYTH 1: Six Times Oversubscribed Means Everyone Wants a Piece of Anthropic

FACT: Demand Is Far Above the Available Supply.

Anthropic's upcoming initial public offering (IPO) has reportedly attracted orders equal to approximately six times the number of shares available. This means investors have requested roughly six shares for every one share offered.

That is a remarkable level of demand, especially for a company operating in one of the most competitive technology indust

When Market Conditions Change, Should You Adjust a Trading Strategy’s Parameters or Stop Using It Altogether?

A trading strategy’s past success doesn’t mean it will always be suitable. When the market shifts from trending to range-bound, or liquidity and volatility change significantly, the strategy’s performance may decline. The key is not to rush into changing parameters, but to first identify the root cause.

First, determine whether the market has really changed. Observe indicators such as volatility, trading volume, trend strength, and liquidity to see whether current conditions have mov

1,943 support has broken; 1,896 was reached.
Ethereum $ETH fell to 1,896 on Friday morning, folks. That’s a drop of around 3.8% from Thursday’s close, and the daily RSI fell to 25. On the weekly chart, price fell below the 2,003 level and 1,943 support I pointed out.
Price is now back around 1,943. If the daily close is above this level, the breakdown will remain just a wick. If it closes below, the 1,822 level I marked on the chart will be the target. Just below that is 1,784.
For a recovery, 2,003 must be reclaimed first. Then 2,174 comes into play.

From a Solo Founder to the Oxford Union: Dr. Han's Vision of Entrepreneurship in the AI Era

This was one of the central ideas behind Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han's "Start Alone" speech at the Oxford Union, where he reflected on Gate's 13-year journey and shared his perspective on entrepreneurs

What Is the Funding Rate? Why Should Perpetual Contract Traders Pay Attention to It?

In the cryptocurrency market, perpetual contracts have no fixed expiration date. The funding rate mechanism helps keep contract prices relatively close to spot prices. For those who trade contracts frequently, the funding rate affects not only the cost of holding a position but can also offer clues about market sentiment.

The funding rate is a periodic exchange of fees between holders of long and short positions in perpetual contracts. Typically, when the funding rate is pos
