What Is Position Management? Why Can Oversized Positions Cause an Account to Be Wiped Out Early Even When a Trading Strategy Has an Edge?

In cryptocurrency trading, getting the market direction right is important, but how much capital you put into each trade also determines whether your account can survive over the long term. Even a strategy with positive expected returns can lead to losses that are difficult to recover from if your positions are too large and an unexpected price move or a series of losses occurs.

First, what is position management?

Position management is the process of dec

When the Fear and Greed Index falls to 28, many people’s first reaction is “time to buy the dip,” but sentiment indicators are never a buy signal on their own—they only tell you that the market is fearful, not whether that fear has ended. What really determines the short-term direction is the convergence of sentiment, sector fund flows, and BTC’s influence.

What Is the Risk-Reward Ratio? Why Can a Trade Have Long-Term Value Even With a Low Win Rate, as Long as Risk Is Properly Managed?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus too much on win rate, believing that they need to make frequent correct calls to make money. But what really affects long-term trading results is not just the win rate, but also the amount won or lost on each trade. The risk-reward ratio is an important tool that helps traders assess whether a trade is worth taking.

Tech Tumble: Wall Street Suffers Sharp Sell-Off as AI Trade Unravels
​U.S. technology stocks took a severe beating, dragging Wall Street into its steepest slump in months as investors rapidly reassessed valuations and capital spending across the sector. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the downturn, sliding over 5% into official correction territory. The broader S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average followed closely, each shedding substantial ground.
​The rout was heavily concentrated in the semiconductor and AI infrastructure ecosystem. Chipmakers bore the brunt of

US Nonfarm Payrolls: One Jobs Number Could Shift the Market Narrative

The U.S. labor market is back in focus, and this time the important question is not simply how many jobs were created. Markets need to understand whether employment is still strong enough to keep inflation and interest-rate concerns alive, or whether hiring is finally losing momentum.

ADP reported that private-sector employers added 86,000 jobs in October, above the 69,000 forecast in a Reuters economist survey. That is a positive early signal, but it sho

The sharp drop yesterday was simple: the market had just surged the day before, then turned around and plunged hard.
The Nasdaq fell 6.5% in a day, with memory and semiconductor stocks hit even harder. The fear index surged, trading volume swelled, and everyone panicked. There were two main triggers: the US plans to restrict data centers and tighten AI expansion, and rumors of war in the Middle East. Risk assets were all sold off.
As for Bitcoin, the drop wasn’t mainly due to heavy internal selling pressure. It was mostly dragged down after the US stock market opened, when panicked investors s

This LTA explicitly includes lasers, very material for AOI that they're moving to supplying merchant lasers.
