What Is Trading Expectancy? How Can You Tell Whether a Strategy Has an Edge Over the Long Term?

In crypto trading, some people review their win rate every day and look for better entry points, but overlook a more fundamental question: If you repeatedly trade according to the same set of rules, how much can you expect to earn or lose on average per trade over the long term?

That is the question trading expectancy aims to answer.

First, what is trading expectancy?

Trading expectancy is the theoretical average return per trade under a given strategy and set of statistical conditions. It analy

When Will BTC ETFs Reverse? The $870 Million Outflow May Hold the Key to the Next Rally!

Persistent outflows from BTC ETFs have become a major market focus. U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw cumulative net outflows of nearly $870 million this week. Weakening institutional demand has many investors worried: Is Bitcoin about to enter another correction cycle?
However, from another perspective, outflows could also be part of the market repricing.
Institutions aren't ATMs that only buy, buy, buy. When macro uncertainty rises and market volatility intensifies, reducing risk exposure is normal. Cutting positi

US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP): Stronger Than Expected – What Does It Mean for the Markets?

#AI科技股大跌加密市场承压 #WCTCS9 The AI sector correction is weighing on the crypto market mainly through a decline in risk appetite. BTC and U.S. tech stocks now share the same pool of capital and leverage, so when the AI sector falls, institutions reduce their positions in both at the same time.

How the AI correction spills over into the crypto market
Same pool of capital: Hedge funds and multi-strategy funds invest in both AI stocks and crypto assets, and when risk controls are triggered, they sell both at once.

In BTC trading, there is a market phenomenon worth paying close attention to: after the price breaks below a key support level, the area that previously supported an uptrend may become resistance during the next rebound.
Why does this happen?
First, buying confidence changes. When BTC finds support multiple times in a certain price area, many traders choose to buy there. But once the price decisively breaks below that area, those who were waiting to buy may start sitting on the sidelines, weakening buying pressure.
Second, trapped traders start looking for a way out. Some investors bought near

In this market, a lot of people see a small-cap coin and scroll right past it. $FB is probably no different. But I’ll give it a second look: the halving has reduced its new supply, and it’s needed to pay on-chain fees, so there’s at least a reason to keep watching. After such a big drop, I’d be lying if I said I had no interest at all; it’s just that no one really wants to be the first to make a move right now. I’ll keep watching to see whether more people start using it on-chain—if they do, even this garbage might be worth picking up. $FB

Ether is currently operating within a medium-term bearish framework, with this being an oversold rebound and recovery after a deep decline. The daily bearish structure remains intact, with no confirmed trend reversal signal; downside momentum on the 4-hour chart is gradually fading and entering a consolidation phase; on the 1-hour chart, price is staging a modest short-term rebound from low-level support, with short-term bullish sentiment showing some recovery. The three timeframes converge at 2279 to form resistance, making this the short-term dividing line between bulls and bears. As the reb

Beyond profit-taking, investors are growing concerned about the pace of AI data center construction, capital spending, and future returns on investment. The key question now is whether the AI sector’s lofty growth expectations need to be repriced. Where do you think the next opportunities will emerge: chip stocks, tech giants, or other sectors?
