What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Can You Measure Whether the Returns from a Trading Strategy Are Worth the Risk?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high return does not necessarily mean a strategy is good. If a strategy earns high returns but comes with sharp fluctuations and significant drawdowns, we need to ask: Are those returns worth the corresponding risk? The Sharpe ratio is one tool that can help answer this question.
First, what is the Sharpe ratio?
The Sharpe ratio measures the excess return earned by a portfolio or trading strategy per unit of volatility risk. Generally, the higher the value,

What Is a Range Trading Strategy? Why Might It Be More Suitable in a Sideways Market, Yet Risky During a Strong Trend Breakout?
In cryptocurrency trading, prices do not always move steadily up or down. When the market lacks a clear direction and prices repeatedly fluctuate within a certain range, a range trading strategy may be useful. But once the price truly breaks out of the range, the original trading logic may quickly become invalid.
First, what is a range trading strategy?
Range trading involves identifying support and resistance zones where prices repeatedly fluctuate, looking for buyin

$AXTI SHORT SETUP — SELLERS STILL IN CONTROL!
$AXTI is down 12%, and the chart continues to show bearish pressure after a sharp rejection from 54.24.
Entry: 46.10
SL: 47.30
TP1: 45.30
TP2: 44.45
TP3: 43.50
Final Target: 42.00
The recent bounce looks weak, with sellers maintaining control below 47.30. Another rejection could push the price back toward 44.45, with further downside possible if that support breaks.
Invalidation: A sustained move above 47.30 weakens the bearish setup.

A LIQUIDITY SWEEP IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY A REVERSAL.
Here's what I look for:
🔹 Buy-side liquidity: Stops resting above obvious highs.
🔹 Sell-side liquidity: Stops resting below obvious lows.
🔹 Sweep: Price trades beyond a level.
🔹 Confirmation: Look for rejection and a market structure shift.
The mistake? Entering immediately after the wick.
I want confirmation, not assumptions.

$TRUMP Is Showing Oversold Signals, but a Bottom Still Requires Evidence That the Decline Has Stopped
$TRUMP is currently priced at 1.26, down 16.721744877726362% over 24 hours, with an intraday high of 1.524 and a low of 1.218. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends are both weak, and the 1-hour volume ratio is just 0.022126930313084815. The price has fallen from 1.524 to around 1.218—a sufficiently steep drop for oversold conditions to start emerging, with demand for a rebound building. But oversold describes exhausted momentum; it does not confirm a reversal. Until the structure stops weakening, I wo

Review of yesterday's 11.4 ZEC long/short thesis (posted late)
[translate-ref-0]: $ZEC
Yesterday morning's thesis failed to play out as expected, with no low-level range-bound trend. However, while reviewing the 11.3 thesis in the afternoon, I gave trading advice to recoup losses, and those gains were realized in the evening.

SNDK fell again last night, closing at 1037 after plunging 9% at one point intraday.
Before earnings, it was still at 1405. In less than a week, it fell 26%.
When it dropped to 1150 last Friday, Dachao said not to rush into buying the dip and to wait for it to hold steady for a few days. But it failed to hold 1150, then failed to hold 1093, and kept plunging. Those who didn't rush to buy the dip dodged another bullet.
This isn't just about SanDisk. Micron and Western Digital also fell 7%, with the entire storage sector being dumped.
One factor is the same old issue: storage price increases are

I called a long on ETH at 2228 on the 30th; it’s now at 2426U, up nearly 200 points.
Back then, it had just been dumped to 2178, falling even harder than BTC, and the whole screen was full of people cursing ETH for being useless.
This past week, it hit resistance below 2300 three times—2309, 2300, and 2301—and each time it was just a little short, only to get pushed back down. Quite a few guys couldn’t hold on and got out near their entry price.
This time it finally broke through. The first target at 2350 was hit, so I took half off and pocketed the gains. The rest topped out at 2443, just 7 p
