What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Do 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 can generate high returns but comes with sharp volatility and significant drawdowns, we need to assess whether those returns are worth the risk involved. 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 t

Golden September and Silver October have come to a close, and a new window for market positioning has opened!

The market never moves according to anyone’s expectations. Standing firm amid its rises and falls takes more than luck: it takes a thorough understanding of market rhythms and unwavering trading discipline.

November is a fresh start. Next, I’ll break down strategies for short-term trading, swing positioning, medium- and long-term holdings, and selling high and buying low within a range, tailored to different capital sizes. I’ll forecast market direction in advance and provide clear

US Midterms 2026: The Election Is Over, But the Real Market Test Starts Now
The US midterm election results have changed the political landscape, but I do not believe one election can decide the market direction for the next several months. Democrats have secured control of both chambers of Congress, while Republicans retain the White House. This creates a divided government. In my view, the next phase will be driven less by political headlines and more by earnings, economic data, interest rates, regulation, capital spending and the ability of companies to turn demand into r

Market Update: AAPL (Apple Inc.) – Technical Rebound Meets Resistance
$AAPL
Apple Inc. ($AAPL) is currently showing a decisive bullish recovery on the intraday charts, rebounding sharply from recent lows. The stock has reclaimed significant ground, currently trading at $349.60, representing a notable +5.39% move on the day. However, while the intraday momentum is strong, the broader structure suggests the asset is entering a critical resistance zone following a sharp selloff from the $354.47 high.

What Is Trade Expectancy? Why Does It Better Reflect a Strategy’s Long-Term Profitability Than Win Rate Alone?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high win rate does not necessarily mean making money, and a low win rate does not necessarily mean losing money. What really matters is how much profit or loss each trade generates on average when you keep trading according to the same set of rules. This is the core meaning of trade expectancy.
First, what is trade expectancy?
Trade expectancy (EV) is a metric that combines win rate, average profit, and average loss to estimate the long-term average outcom

Getting unstuck | Don't rush to cut losses; check the levels first
When you're stuck in a position, the biggest risk isn't the loss,
but losing your composure and making rash moves.
In this market, don't cut your losses at every dip or blindly add to your position just to break even.
First, work out your cost basis, position size, and risk.
When the price reaches key support, consider what to do;
when a rebound reaches resistance, consider reducing your position.
Getting unstuck isn't about betting on a rebound, but about gradually managing your position according to a plan.

The Most Dangerous Misconception in Futures Trading: You Got the Direction Right—So Why Were You Liquidated?
In cryptocurrency trading, there’s an experience that’s especially frustrating:
You predict that Bitcoin will rise, and the market eventually does—but your long position was liquidated long before then.
You got the direction right. Why did you still lose money?
Because many traders overlook one fact:
Getting the market direction right does not mean a trade is guaranteed to make money.
What really determines whether a futures trade can survive to the end is not just direction, but also p

$NEAR Currently at 4.026, 24H -0.45% (3.965–4.273). 1H is relatively strong: RSI 55.81, with the current price above the 1H EMA20 at 4.0248; 4H is relatively weak: RSI 61.08, with the current price below the 4H EMA20 at 4.0271. The 1H volume ratio is 0.016, indicating very low participation. If the price holds above the 4.273 resistance level, watch for continuation; if it breaks below the 3.965 support level, it may weaken in the short term. In the next review, check whether 4.273 holds and whether the price can recover after losing 3.965. The two timeframes remain divergent, and short-term c

Don’t wait for the wind to change. Trade within a range and lower your cost in stages, gradually easing the pressure on your position by sticking to rules.
Many people get stuck on the need to break even, always hoping to escape in one big rebound. The longer they hold on, the more passive they become. The key to getting out is to turn static holdings into dynamic positions, repeatedly trading around support and resistance to reduce your cost—not betting on a one-way move.
The market doesn’t owe you a rebound; all you can rely on is a response plan you can control.
Going forward, as always: se

Gate has officially launched Proof of Security, or PoSEC, extending beyond Proof of Reserves by disclosing the distribution of cold-storage and hot-wallet assets and introducing a cold storage coverage ratio to measure protection under extreme-risk scenarios. Gate’s latest cold storage coverage ratio stands at 104.58%, with 88.26% of assets in cold storage and 11.74% in hot wallets. A coverage ratio of at least 100% means cold-storage assets alone would still be sufficient to cover all user assets even if hot-wallet assets were fully lost. Exchange security is not only about whether reserves are sufficient, but also how assets are stored and protected under extreme conditions. Could cold storage coverage become a new industry standard?[👉 Learn more](https://gate.com/proof-of-security)
