Why can tighter stop-losses sometimes lead to more consecutive losses?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people believe that the tighter the stop-loss, the lower the risk. There is some logic to this idea, but if market volatility and trade structure are ignored, overly tight stop-losses may instead cause traders to exit frequently and miss price moves that otherwise align with their expectations.

For example, suppose you buy Bitcoin near a certain price, planning to profit from a continuing trend. If your stop-loss is too close to your entry price, a normal price pullback may trigger it. Then

# Why Might a Once-Effective Strategy Gradually Stop Working?

If a trading strategy has consistently delivered profits in the past, why might it start losing frequently months later, or even after a longer period?

Has the market changed, or is there a problem with the strategy itself?

In the digital asset market, this question is especially worth considering. Market participants, liquidity, volatility structure, and trading behavior can all change. Opportunities that could be captured in the past may not remain available forever.

**The fact that a strategy once worked only shows that it pe

Why Are Traders More Likely to Take Excessive Risks After a Winning Streak?

In the cryptocurrency market, there is a risk that is easy to overlook: after a winning streak, people may actually become less cautious.

After making a profit on several consecutive trades, traders can develop the illusion that they have mastered the market’s rhythm and are likely to correctly predict what comes next. They then start increasing their position sizes, loosening their entry criteria, and even ignoring stop-loss rules they previously followed strictly.

But the market won’t ensure you’re right today jus
Why Can Multisig Wallets Still Suffer from Management Failures?

In the Web3 world, multisig wallets are often seen as an important tool for improving digital asset security.

The basic idea is simple: a transaction no longer depends on a single person’s signature. Instead, it can only be executed once a preset number of signatures has been obtained.

For example, a 3/5 multisig wallet requires at least three of its five signers to approve a transaction.

This means that even if one signer’s key is compromised, an attacker usually cannot complete a transaction with that key alone.

But this ra

Why Can a Trading Strategy With a High Win Rate Still Lose Money?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people pay close attention to their win rate. Winning eight out of ten consecutive trades looks quite impressive. But if the account is still losing money overall, the problem may not be the win rate, but the amounts won and lost on each trade.

Suppose a trader makes 10 trades, with 8 winning trades that each earn 10 USDT and 2 losing trades that each lose 50 USDT.

The 8 wins bring in 80 USDT, while the 2 losses result in a loss of 100 USDT. Even without considering fees and funding rates, the

How should trading strategies be adjusted when market conditions change?

In the previous article, we discussed how to identify changes in market conditions.

But identifying that the market has changed is only the first step.

What truly determines trading results is what you do next.

When a trending market turns into a ranging market, a strategy that was previously effective may start triggering stop-losses frequently; when market volatility suddenly increases, even if you correctly predict the direction of a trade, you may still suffer losses due to an oversized position, increased slippag

eatureRecently, a series of thefts have occurred across the industry. Every security incident affects not just one company, but everyone’s trust in the crypto industry.

It also reminds me of why we started working on Proof of Reserves (PoR) in 2020. The idea was simple: if users entrust their assets to an exchange for safekeeping, they have the right to know whether those assets are fully backed. Trust isn’t about believing promises; it requires verifiable evidence.

Over time, PoR was adopted by more and more exchanges and became a very important part of the industry’s security framework.

November 6, 2026 (Friday) ETH Futures Strategy for Today (based on the current range of approximately $2,220–$2,230)

Core view (bearish; cautious about rebounds)

ETH has quickly pulled back from around $2,420 to around $2,220, breaking recent support, with weak short-term momentum. Today, prioritize looking for a short if a rebound stalls, or consider going long only after a retest of lower support. Keep positions light.

Specific strategies

1. Shorting a rebound (primary strategy)

• Watch zone: $2,270–$2,320 (or near $2,350)

• Entry reference: Consider a small short if signs of s
