What Is Trading Expectancy? Why Can a High-Win-Rate Strategy Still Lose Money Over the Long Term?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people treat win rate as the primary benchmark for evaluating a strategy, believing that winning seven out of ten trades must be better than a strategy that wins only four. But what truly determines a strategy’s long-term performance is not just how many times it wins, but also the amount gained and lost on each trade. This is the significance of trading expectancy (Expectancy).
First, what is trading expectancy?
Trading expectancy is the average expected profit or

$STX is facing short-term selling pressure, with price down 5.1% over 24 hours while trading volume surged 1,043.5%. This sharp volume increase signals elevated market activity, but buyers need to defend support before a recovery can develop.
Current Price: $0.2887
Support Zone: $0.2800–$0.2750
Resistance Zone: $0.2950–$0.3050
Next Bullish Target: $0.3150
Bearish Target: $0.2650
A strong reclaim of $0.2950 could attract momentum traders toward higher resistance. However, losing $0.2750 may extend the downside. Watch for confirmation, volume behavior, and a clear support reaction before enterin

I bought a governance token, and its description says, “Holders can participate in project decisions.” Does that mean I can have a say in how the project develops from now on?
You can participate, but that doesn’t mean one person gets to decide everything.
It’s a bit like a neighborhood discussing how to use shared funds: you can voice your opinion, but there are specific rules about what can be discussed, how many votes are needed to pass a proposal, and who carries it out afterward.
Many projects calculate voting weight based on the number of tokens held or the voting power delegated to you—

As of today, the base case for the crypto market looks neutral to negative: sellers remain in control, but severe panic has not yet been confirmed.
Bitcoin looks more resilient than altcoins; ETH, SOL, and XRP remain weaker than the market, while BNB shows relative strength.

1. Bitcoin sets the day's boundaries
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $79,785, down 1.3% over 24 hours and 3.5% over the week. The total crypto market capitalization has fallen to $2.67 trillion, while derivatives open interest is down 7.0% in 24 hours and 22.8% over the week. This looks more like deleveraging and

TermiX @termix_ai took first place this time.
On October 27, TermiX topped both the 7-day and 30-day protocol revenue rankings in DefiLlama’s BNB Chain AI Agents category.
TermiX, which took first place in BSC revenue this time, actually earned more protocol revenue on Base over the past 30 days.
As of October 29, the ranking still held. BSC’s 30-day protocol revenue was about $36,000, while Base’s was about $63,000. For the same project, revenue was distributed so differently. A ranking on one chain is certainly impressive, but only by looking at the entire market can we see the actual scale

How Do Fees Change the Break-Even Win Rate? Why Can Frequent Trading Erode Profits?
In cryptocurrency trading, some strategies perform well in backtests, but traders find that their profits shrink significantly after trading live. The reason may not be poor market predictions, but trading costs such as fees, bid-ask spreads, and slippage. The more trades you make, the more these costs can affect your final returns.
First, how do fees affect profits?
Suppose the profit target for each trade is 100 USDT, with a planned loss of 100 USDT. If the total cost of each round-trip trade is 10 USDT, the

Seeing lead traders post their profits, then checking your own copy-trading account: you’re following the same person, so why are your gains so different?
Copy trading replicates trading actions, not the other person’s profit figures directly.
It’s like two people shopping from the same list: they may enter the store at different times, pay different prices, and buy different quantities, so they’ll spend different amounts in the end.
Here’s an example that doesn’t account for leverage or fees: the other person buys at 100, while your order is filled at 102. You both sell at 105. Even with the

Price had been moving sideways within a high-level range. After extensive turnover, it failed to break out effectively, and the center of gravity gradually shifted lower, causing the moving averages to turn down and create resistance. Bears then released momentum in a concentrated wave, triggering an accelerated breakdown, with the price bottoming near 79883.
After the sharp short-term sell-off, bearish momentum was largely exhausted, and the indicators entered deeply oversold territory. The price found initial support at

The most satisfying thing in trading is seeing the market validate your scenario analysis to the letter.
Review of yesterday’s outlook, 10.28: Bitcoin hit a high of 81,759.0, then plunged to 79,701.9—we perfectly captured a 2,000-point move!
Those who saw Brother Tong’s outlook yesterday morning should remember the three scenarios I laid out.
What did I say then? “A hawkish stance will deal risk assets a heavy blow, and the market will most likely take a dive. Our shorts will take off.”
And what happened? As soon as the hawkish remarks came out, the market plunged right on cue!

$DOS $DOS Damn, things were going up just fine, then a sharp wick suddenly plunged down before shooting back up. This is exactly what you fear most when trading futures: you think the price is about to start rising, but then it suddenly drops with a sharp wick, catching you completely off guard. If you haven’t set a stop-loss and you’re using high leverage, you might not even have time to react before your position is gone

$BTC This move is even more aggressive than expected—before you know it, it's already hit 80500 ✨
The path we mapped out earlier has now officially entered a new phase—the lower edge of the 80800 range has been cleanly breached, and the bears are really in action this time!
For now, don't get itchy fingers and make rash trades. Keep your eyes on 79500 as the first take-profit target; once it gets there, close half your position and lock in the profits.

I had expected the market to pull back to strong support and planned to go long there for a rebound. I didn’t expect a huge bearish candle to play dirty and smash straight through the morning entry level.
The short-term downtrend has temporarily eased, and the 15-minute chart has formed a bottoming candlestick pattern. Technically, the market is extremely oversold, so there’s still a chance of an upward rebound and recovery.
The long position entered at 806 is still open. For now, keep a close eye on the strength of the rebound: if price can’t even reclaim the 802-804 resistance zone, bearish
