When a trading strategy starts to fail, should you adjust its parameters or stop trading?

The real danger isn’t that a strategy loses money. It’s not knowing why it’s losing, yet continuing to tweak its parameters in an attempt to repair the returns curve.

A strategy may once have worked, but the market won’t behave the same way forever.

A trend may turn into a range, liquidity may decline, trading costs may rise, and entry signals that once worked may gradually lose their edge.

So how should you decide?

Step one: Determine whether you’re seeing a normal drawdown or a change in the strate

BTC ETFs bleed continuously, $870 million evaporates! Has Bitcoin's bull market engine stalled?

The Bitcoin market has recently seen a major capital retreat. U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded cumulative net outflows of nearly $870 million this week, and institutional buying that once seemed unstoppable now appears to have suddenly gone quiet.
It’s like a party where institutions once lined up to get in, but now some are leaving early. The question is, is the party really over?
From a capital-flow perspective, sustained ETF outflows can indeed weaken incremental buying in the spot market. If selling

Is the sea of red in Asia merely profit-taking?

Those fixated on the massive red percentages flashing across their screens during the historic collapse of Asian markets are missing the true paradox: the very companies that ignited the artificial intelligence revolution are now buckling under the political uncertainty of the future they themselves created.

The wave of selling triggered in global markets following the U.S. midterm elections has swept across the Pacific, striking the heart of Asia’s technology sector with the force of a bombshell. In South Korea, th

11.7 BTC Analysis

Over the weekend, the one-hour Bollinger Bands continued to contract. The earlier sharp drop formed a long lower wick, with clear buying support at the bottom, indicating a basing and recovery pattern after seller exhaustion. The rapid sell-off flushed out panic selling and stop-loss orders, fully correcting the oversold deviation. The price stabilized and rebounded off the lower Bollinger Band and is now consolidating near the middle band. Net inflows have recovered somewhat, while intermittent sell orders have struggled to exert sustained pressure on the market. Bulls have

Shorts are trembling, and longs are starting to brag? The battle for BTC at $76,000 is heating up!

BTC's recent price action has been like a tug-of-war with no referee. Just as bulls pulled the price above $76,000, bears began looking for a chance to strike back.
Who will have the last laugh?
I think we can't just look at price—we also need to watch market flows and leverage. The market has seen large-scale liquidations before, showing that highly leveraged traders are under considerable pressure. In this environment, concentrated position closures could cause rapid price swings.

$SNDK The anticipated reversal failed to materialize, and prices fell back again🔥

Star Jie said last night that SanDisk wouldn’t see a strong recovery, and that any recovery would have to wait until next Monday. It’s the weekend, after all, and the overhead supply hasn’t been fully cleared. There aren’t enough buyers chasing the rally, so it’s inherently difficult to push prices higher. They were dumped back to around 810.

However, SanDisk now appears to be holding firmly above 800, and it also saw a brief recovery toward the close. Star Jie estimates that SanDisk will rally on Monday#美股AI板

U.S. Stock Futures Diverge; Semiconductor Giants AMD and TSMC Rally

U.S. stock futures are diverging, with AMD and TSMC rallying over 5% in pre-market trading. However, the ticker tags tell a different story: AMD is down 17.64%, TSM is down 10.96%, and the SPX500 is down 3.86%.

This headline captures the chaotic nature of the current market, particularly in the semiconductor sector. "Diverging" futures mean investors are uncertain, with some indices pointing up and others down. The pre-market rally in AMD and TSMC suggests that there was highly positive sector-specific news overnight—perhap

📉 Guys, one thing I'm sure of: $ONE /USDT may continue falling sooner or later. However, before it falls, it may still print another bullish candle, triggering shorts' stop-loss orders and sweeping them out. On the other hand, it could also start falling directly from the current price. So I'm not going to wait. I'm opening a small short position now. If the price rises first, I'll add in batches at better prices. If it starts falling from here, I'll add to the position and lock in profits all the way down. My target is to sell below $0.00140. Let's see if this plan works. Ready to make this

Bitcoin Open Interest Rises Despite Market Selloff

Bitcoin’s derivatives market is showing an interesting trend. According to Glassnode, BTC open interest increased by nearly $1.5 billion during the recent price decline.

This suggests traders are opening new leveraged positions even as market prices move lower.

Rising open interest during a selloff can increase market volatility, especially if leveraged positions face liquidation.

However, open interest alone does not reveal whether traders are positioning for a rebound or further downside.

The next move in BTC will be important to watch

This article analyzes the plunge in U.S. AI stocks and the wave of programmatic selling: at the market-structure level, leveraged ETFs and dealers’ negative Gamma triggered a mechanical selloff; at the valuation level, uncertainty over capex and returns created a rift; and at the macro level, the Fed was absent as a backstop through rate cuts. It examines whether the AI trade is replaying the 1998 LTCM crisis or heading toward a 2000-style bubble.
