How should position size be calculated? Why is it more reasonable to determine the risk amount first and then decide how much to buy?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people tend to assess the market first and then decide how much to buy, overlooking the most important step: if their judgment is wrong, how much of a loss can they actually afford to take? Sound position management should start with a risk budget, not potential returns.
First, determine the risk amount you can afford.
Suppose you have 1,000 USDT in your account and plan to limit the risk on a single trade to 1% of your account ba

#QualcommAndArmEarningsInFocus 🤔
On the evening of November 4th (U.S. time), all eyes in the industry will be fixed on the same place: Qualcomm and Arm are set to release their financial results. Both companies sit at the heart of the chip world, yet they are experiencing vastly different climates.
For Qualcomm, a slowdown in smartphone demand and rising memory chip costs are weighing on the short term. For Arm, the narrative is defined by growth driven by data centers and artificial intelligence. In short, one company will be focused on a potential recovery, while the other will highlight ho

What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Can You Measure Whether a Trading Strategy’s Returns 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 substantial drawdowns, we need to assess whether those returns are 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 th

What is rolling backtesting? Why is continuously updating the test window more informative than testing just one historical period?
In cryptocurrency trading, a strategy may perform well only during a certain period of historical market data, yet fail to adapt to subsequent market changes. Testing only one fixed period can overlook how the strategy performs under different conditions. Rolling backtesting helps traders evaluate a strategy’s stability more comprehensively by continually updating the test window.
First, what is rolling backtesting?
Rolling backtesting divides historical data into

I think this gold rally is only just getting started. Physical gold held by central banks is getting increasingly scarce. This isn’t simply a price issue; it’s a matter of inventory and delivery. According to data from the World Gold Council, central banks have been net buyers of more than 1,000 tonnes of gold for three consecutive years: about 1,136 tonnes in 2022, 1,037 tonnes in 2023, and 1,045 tonnes in 2024. That’s a clear step up from the average of 400 to 500 tonnes a year over the past decade. Meanwhile, the “visible” buffers—such as free-float inventories in London vaults and delivera

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

I had just brewed a cup of tea and sat down
when my phone immediately lit up with a string of discussions about INJC
It turns out Nasdaq has approved the listing application for Canary Capital’s Canary Staked INJ ETF, ticker INJC; Form 8-A12B was filed around November 3, and the prospectus is dated November 4
The fund typically stakes at least 90% of its INJ holdings; BitGo is the custodian, and the fee is 1.10%; it still needs to wait for the SEC to declare its S-1 registration statement effective before it can actually launch, so it can’t yet be considered a tradable product

BTC has risen nearly 6,000 this round. I imagine quite a few people got caught in losing positions. I’ve been calling for longs at 76,500 for days—do you still want to short?
Being stuck in a losing position isn’t scary; what’s scary is not knowing how high it could go. It’s been moving sideways around 80k without breaking below it. Honestly, the bulls are pretty strong this time. If you’re not too deep in the hole, let’s fight back!!!$BTC $ETH #BTC重返8万

BTC retested 75600 yesterday to induce shorts
Staged a “Big V Tianlong” reversal, shooting straight up to 81000
Took out both longs and shorts, catching shorts at 76000 and longs at 80000
What’s the outlook for BTC today?
On the 4-hour chart, it tested the previous high of 82000 but failed to break through. Still, it’s holding firmly above 80000, and the pullback hasn’t been very strong. Bulls have the upper hand, so the strategy remains to buy dips
Go long at 78300–78800
Targets: 82000/83000
I’ve been telling everyone to enter longs at 76500, and now the results are clear. The bullish call and long execution have played out $BTC $ETH #BTC重返8万

$HUT with a pretty nasty pre-market down -15% as a result of exposure to Texas. Though Beacon Point is fully leased for 704 MW of critical IT they've got a pretty substantial pipeline in the state that could come under scrutiny
Technically, a backtest to the 0.887 / 0.786 fib is very healthy after a massive move. A bottom should form within the current price zone but if the market has other plans and lets say the indexes drop a bit further, then I'd expect a drop near the trendline
If we zoom out it doesn't change the path very much anyway though. We'll be back to triple digits before end of d

Golden September and Silver October have come to a close; November is a fresh start.
Markets change by the hour, and prices rise and fall. Staying steady through volatility has never depended on luck, but on accurately gauging market rhythm and maintaining consistent execution discipline.
