Many traders are especially concerned about their win rate when they enter the market. They hope to win 7 or 8 out of every 10 trades, and may even believe that only a high win rate can lead to consistent profits.

But in reality, what determines whether an account can grow over the long term is often not just the win rate, but also a frequently overlooked metric: the risk-reward ratio.

What is the risk-reward ratio?

Simply put, the risk-reward ratio is the relationship between the expected profit and potential loss on a trade.

For example, if a trade has a stop-loss of 100 USDT and a take-

With an extreme fear reading of 13 and negative funding rates, $INIT ’s decline looks more like an emotional sell-off than the end of the trend. I lean toward a small long position near the lower Bollinger Band, betting on a mean reversion.
Three points support this view: First, the Fear & Greed Index at 13 is in extreme territory, where historically the odds of chasing shorts have deteriorated significantly; $INIT ’s funding rate is -0.1968%, meaning shorts have to keep paying, and the crowded short positioning itself provides fuel for a rebound. Second, in terms of broader market correlation

Why Do So Many People Lose Money in Range-Bound Markets?

In crypto trading, many people prefer trending markets because they can go long when prices rise and go short when they fall, making the direction relatively easy to judge.

But what often causes many traders to keep losing money is range-bound markets.

Why?

First, range-bound markets are especially prone to fake breakouts. BTC may just have broken through an important resistance level, making people think an uptrend is about to begin, but the price soon falls back into its previous range. Traders who chased the rally get trapped, whi

“7 Siblings” continues buying into sharp declines: In June, it borrowed 10 million USDT to buy 5,589 ETH at $1,789. In August, it sold 18,500 ETH at $2,356, making a profit of $10.49 million. As ETH dipped again in November, it bought 10,792 ETH at $2,038 on the 11th, then invested another 18.877 million USDT to buy 9,766 ETH at $1,933 on the 14th. This round, it invested a total of $40.88 million to buy 20,558 ETH at an average price of $1,988.
What is more notable is the scale of the buyback: the 18,500 ETH sold near the August high have been more than replenished with 20,558 ETH. The f

Many futures traders have had this experience: they correctly predict the market’s overall direction, but a brief, sharp price move suddenly liquidates their position.

Why does this happen?

First, excessive leverage is the most common reason. The higher the leverage, the greater the impact of price movements on margin. Even a brief move in the opposite direction can quickly hit the liquidation price.

Second, market liquidity affects execution. When a large number of sell or buy orders suddenly appear, the order book can thin out rapidly, making price movements even more volatile.

Third, in

Many traders see BTC trading volume suddenly surge and assume the market is about to reverse. In reality, a surge in trading volume does not mean a trend reversal; it more often indicates rising market participation, and that disagreement between buyers and sellers may also be intensifying.

So, how should we interpret a sudden surge in trading volume?

First, rising volume during an uptrend. If prices continue to rise while trading volume keeps increasing, it indicates high market participation, and new funds may be entering the market. But if it becomes increasingly difficult for prices to r

#ETH一度跌破2000美元 Ethereum Falls to $1,907: Is the $1,800 Zone the Next Bottom or Can ETH Recover $2,000?
Ethereum’s breakdown below the $2,000 threshold has entered a decisive technical phase on November 14, 2026. Trading at a latest snapshot of $1,907.06 after briefly dipping toward a recent intraday low near $1,893, ETH has shed roughly 12.4% over the past week. What was once a heavily defended psychological floor at $2,000 has now flipped into immediate overhead resistance, leaving traders and institutional desks weighing two competing scenarios: an oversold relief bounce back above $2,000, o

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) suddenly issued an order: No planes can take off from any airport in the country.

Planes already in the air can land as usual, but all departures are suspended. This kind of thing has only happened a few times since 9/11.

There may have been a communications system failure. Air traffic controllers and pilots rely on radio communications to direct flights. If that line goes down, no one dares let planes take off, so they shut everything down across the board.

Could this be retaliation for freezing $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency stolen from Binan
