What Is Maximum Drawdown? Why Can an Account That Once Earned a Lot Still Face Huge Risks?
In cryptocurrency trading, looking only at how much an account ultimately earned can make it easy to overlook the risks it experienced along the way. Even an account that once generated very high returns may have gone through a severe drawdown and may even struggle to recover because of poor money management. Maximum drawdown is an important metric for measuring this risk.
First, what is maximum drawdown?
Maximum drawdown is the largest percentage decline in an account’s net asset value from a peak to a

BTC was called at $77,800 on the 30th, and now it’s at $80,600—a $2,800 gain per coin.
You guys remember what things were like the day I called it, right? Binance had just been hacked for $6.3 billion, everyone was yelling about a crash, and BTC had just plunged to $76,400.
What Dachao said back then was: a dip caused by an unexpected event gets filled quickly.
It wasn’t like we never got spooked in between. During election week, it plunged to $75,700 again, leaving me down over $1,000 on paper. Plenty of people couldn’t hold on and got out. I never moved the $74,800 stop-loss, and just rode i

Yesterday’s 11.5 ETH Long/Short Strategy Review (posted late)
[translate-ref-0]: $ETH
Yesterday morning, the price failed to break below the previous low and the 2200 support, so I chose to enter a long at the current price. The morning long entry was at 2240, with a take-profit target at 2440 for 200 points of upside.
The short setup was invalidated; the direction was wrong.
[Strategy Review]:
The long entry in the 2180–2200 range did not materialize; the fourth target at 2300 was reached.
The short strategy was invalidated by a strong one-way rally.

The AI Hardware Bottleneck: Alibaba and Tencent Face Severe Nvidia Supply Crunch
Alibaba and Tencent are facing a severe supply crunch for Nvidia's RTX Pro 5500 chips. Reports indicate that only 1% of their orders will arrive in the next four months. The news is marked as "Important," with BABA down 1.13%, Tencent up 0.90%, and Nvidia up 2.15%.
This is arguably the most critical macroeconomic and geopolitical news on the feed. The global AI boom is currently entirely bottlenecked by hardware availability, specifically Nvidia's high-end GPUs. For Chinese tech giants Alibaba and Tencent, this s

What is trade expectancy? Why does it reflect a strategy’s long-term profitability better than win rate alone?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high win rate does not necessarily mean making money, and a low win rate does not necessarily mean losing money. What really matters is how much profit or loss each trade generates on average when you consistently trade by the same rules. That is the core meaning of trade expectancy.
First, what is trade expectancy?
Trade expectancy (EV) is a metric that combines win rate, average profit, and average loss to estimate the long-term average result per trade.

$IDOL IS LOSING ITS KEY SUPPORT!
Price has been moving lower with consistent selling pressure, and now the important support zone around $0.0196 has been broken.
Sellers are taking control.
My trading plan:
Short entry: After a confirmed breakdown and rejection of $0.0196 on retest
Stop-loss: $0.021
Targets: 0.0185, 0.0179, 0.017, 0.016
If price continues trading below $0.0196, further downside remains possible.

What Is a Stop-Loss? Why Can’t Setting One Completely Prevent Losses?
In cryptocurrency trading, stop-losses are an important risk management tool, but many traders mistakenly believe that setting one will strictly limit losses to the expected range. In reality, a stop-loss can help carry out a risk plan, but it cannot guarantee the final execution price.
First, what is a stop-loss?
A stop-loss is an order to close a position or sell when the price reaches a predefined condition, helping limit potential losses. For example, if the price falls below a predetermined risk level after you buy, you

LG Uplus: Expanding Margins Despite Top-Line Headwinds
The News: LG Uplus posted an 84% surge in Q3 operating profit, reaching 297.6 billion Won, even as its overall revenue saw a dip. The stock surged 9.11% on the news.
The 9.11% surge in LG Uplus shares is a classic market reaction to a "quality earnings" beat. The telecom sector is traditionally mature and highly competitive. The fact that operating profit jumped 84% despite a decline in revenue tells a compelling story about cost control, debt management, and a shift toward higher-margin businesses.
LG Uplus has been aggressively pushing i

“Oil Prices Plunge 10%—What Can Keep Bitcoin Steady at $80,000? Don’t Get Carried Away Before NFP”$BZ ‌$BTC ‌

Everyone is shouting “back to $80,000,” but blindly chasing longs at this level carries extremely high risk. Here are three key factors to consider in light of today’s macro backdrop and market action:

First, the macro “mispricing.”
Oil prices plunged 10% as the market bet that the US-Iran conflict would end sooner after Democrats swept both chambers. Risk appetite recovered, and Bitcoin bounced along with it. But don’t overlook this: ADP was strong, the Fed rate remains at 3.75%

What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Can You Measure Whether a Trading Strategy’s Returns Are Worth the Risk?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high rate of return does not necessarily mean a strategy is good. If a strategy generates high returns but comes with sharp volatility and large drawdowns, we need to further assess whether those returns are worth the corresponding risk. The Sharpe ratio is one tool that can help answer this question.
First, what is the Sharpe ratio?
The Sharpe ratio measures the excess return earned by a portfolio or trading strategy per unit of volatility risk. Generally, the hi

Gate has officially launched Proof of Security, or PoSEC, extending beyond Proof of Reserves by disclosing the distribution of cold-storage and hot-wallet assets and introducing a cold storage coverage ratio to measure protection under extreme-risk scenarios. Gate’s latest cold storage coverage ratio stands at 104.58%, with 88.26% of assets in cold storage and 11.74% in hot wallets. A coverage ratio of at least 100% means cold-storage assets alone would still be sufficient to cover all user assets even if hot-wallet assets were fully lost. Exchange security is not only about whether reserves are sufficient, but also how assets are stored and protected under extreme conditions. Could cold storage coverage become a new industry standard?[👉 Learn more](https://gate.com/proof-of-security)
