Do gains and losses in percentage terms cancel each other out, leaving you back where you started?
When reviewing returns, I calculate them step by step based on the amount of capital, rather than adding several percentage changes directly.
Take a hypothetical example: $1,000 rises by 20% to $1,200; then it falls by 20%, leaving $960. The two percentages look like one gain and one loss, but the capital is actually $40 below where it started.
That’s because the second change is calculated on $1,200, so the base has already changed.
This also reminds me that when a record says “average earnings

BTC Falls Below $80,000! Is 78K the Last Line of Defense? The Next Move Could Determine the Direction of the Entire Market!
After Bitcoin fell below 80K, the market’s biggest concern is no longer how much it will drop today, but whether it can hold key support levels next.
Based on the recent technical structure, 80K has shifted from a key psychological support level to an area that needs to be reclaimed. Strong resistance formed around 81.5K to 82K, while 78K to 79K is a demand zone worth watching.
If BTC stabilizes around 78K, trading volume gradually recovers, and price climbs back above 80

Which Comes First When One Candlestick Hits Both Take-Profit and Stop-Loss?
When reviewing a futures trade, there’s one situation I mark separately: the same candlestick’s high and low both crossed the take-profit and stop-loss levels.
Suppose I’m holding a long position entered at 100, with a stop-loss at 95 and a take-profit at 105. The candlestick reaches a high of 108 and a low of 92. Those numbers alone aren’t enough to tell which level was triggered first.
A move up followed by a move down could produce a completely different outcome for the position than a move down followed by a move u

Bitcoin was hit by multiple extremely bearish developments today. Panic is often followed by a massive rebound, and extreme bearish news during an uptrend often signals a turning point. Today’s confluence of numerous bearish factors created an extreme bearish situation, so 76,000 is highly likely to be the bottom or a secondary low. It’s uncertain whether there will be a second test of the lows, but if there are no further negative developments, the probability of one is low. #BTC跌至7.7万美元

Does pairing a spot position with a short position mean you're hedged?
Holding spot in one coin and opening a short in another doesn't make me assume the risk is already offset.
Just because two assets have often risen and fallen together in the past doesn't mean they'll move in sync through every market move ahead. Especially when news specific to one project breaks, the gap between the two can suddenly widen.
As a hypothetical example: You hold $1,000 worth of one coin and short another coin with a notional value of $1,000. If the first falls 10% and the second falls only 3%, ignoring fees,

Watching $WLD try to climb back up is like watching someone try to climb a greased pole in a suit. It makes some decent progress for a second, then inevitably slides right back to where it started. Hard to see the buyers finding much footing here.TP: 0.3750SL: 0.4127Also active:
