Can 20 consecutive profitable trades prove that a trading strategy works?

Not necessarily.

Without knowing the number of trades, the distribution of losses, the risks taken, and whether the strategy was repeatedly tuned, those 20 winning trades may not tell us much.

What really needs to be verified is not how much money the strategy has made, but whether it has an edge that can be repeated, explained, and tested.

I. Look at the sample size, not just the win rate

Suppose two strategies both have a 70% win rate.

Strategy A has completed only 20 trades, while Strategy B has completed 1,000

🧧🧧#Why am I dollar-cost averaging into AR? Many people don't understand this sector!
I’m not chasing short-term hype; I’m betting on distributed rendering compute in the AI era.
The AI video and 3D boom both require massive computing power behind the scenes. This sector has taken a different path from the swarm of fiercely competitive L2 chains.
The first wave rose to over 90
The second wave rose to over 50
This time, down to around 25, there’s still nearly 8x upside
So I’m only dollar-cost averaging in small amounts and in batches, not making a big bet.

Low was 0.0025, tagged 0.0149, now 0.0101, still far over the stack.

MAs: 0.0059, 0.0044 and 0.0054 all under price.
Volume exploded on the green candle. Range today 0.0025-0.0149.

Watching 0.0059 as the line. Lose it and the move is just a wick. Hold it and 0.0149 stays the reference.

Just the chart. Not a call.

🔐 Beyond Solvency: Why Storage Architecture Dictates the Future of Exchange Security
The centralized digital asset trading landscape is undergoing a massive structural transformation. For years, the gold standard of platform transparency was limited to Proof of Reserves (PoR)—a snapshot method verifying that an exchange holds sufficient tokens to back user balances on a 1:1 ratio. However, recent market vulnerabilities have proved that simply possessing assets is only one part of the security equation. True safety depends on how those assets are stored, who controls the und

Think back to the last night of October. One headline changed the whole mood. A massive breach shook the market, and since then trust has not fully returned.

That is the core of hack aftershock. It is not about one day of selling. It is about a slow loss of confidence that keeps leaking into every trade.

When a large venue gets hit, traders do not just ask how much was taken. They ask if their own funds are safe. They ask if cold storage is truly cold, if hot wallets are truly isolated, if proof of reserves is real, and if withdrawal will work when they need it. Those questions do not fade i

With less than 2000U in principal, what you need to quit most isn’t greed, but “impatience”
Honestly, at this stage, the most dangerous thing isn’t the market—it’s your own desire to turn things around quickly.
I know someone who started with 1600U and, over the course of a year, grew it to 7000U.
Not fast—just over 4x.
But he never got liquidated that year, and never spent a night unable to sleep. It wasn’t luck; it was three very simple habits.
First, trade only one coin.
Others chase MEME today, trade AI tomorrow, then jump into a new public chain the day after.

Why does the exchange show a profit, while the amount you actually take home after all costs is much smaller?

When reviewing their trades, many traders focus only on the difference between the buy and sell prices, overlooking an important point:

A paper profit is not necessarily the same as actual net profit.

Especially in the crypto market, trading frequency, order type, holding period, and market liquidity can all affect the final result.

To know whether a strategy can actually make money, you need to account for at least the following five types of costs.

BTC ETF Outflows Continue: What Does Persistent Institutional Selling Mean for Bitcoin and the Crypto Market?
The Bitcoin market is facing another important development as outflows from spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) continue to attract attention from investors, analysts, and institutional market participants. Since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, these investment products have become an important bridge between traditional financial markets and the cryptocurrency industry. They have also introduced a new way for institutional inv

i'm disgusted by @AscendLaunch. i was looking forward to their launch.
but when they launched, instead of pushing new narratives, they vamped e/acc and crimed it to death.
today the e/acc vamp is at $9m mcap, but it's 50% bundled. it's the only one they have above $1m.
of course, you're not the only ones criming tokens, but at least crime new ones. why vamp and then crime? it's a disgusting combo and people see it.
all you did was kill your shot at becoming the #1 launchpad on @Enter_Elysium. people see it.

Will Black Monday happen again tomorrow? After the market suffered a brutal sell-off last week, traders are worried that Monday’s open could trigger another wave of massive selling. There are several reasons behind this concern: - Democrats won the election, putting greater pressure on AI stocks. - Concerns about a global AI bubble are intensifying. - The US is reportedly preparing a more limited strike against Iran. - Last week, the VIX posted its third-largest single-day gain in history. - Large funds are rapidly pulling out of AI-related debt investments. - Expectations of another Fed rate

A One-Year Plan for a Small Account (Follow It, Don’t Skip Steps)
Don’t set profit targets; set behavioral goals. You can’t control profits, but you can control your behavior.
Months 1–2: Just keep records; no profit targets
At most 3 trades per week, with 1% risk per trade
Write three lines for each trade: why you entered, where your stop-loss is, and why you exited
At the end of the month, don’t look at your P&L. Just ask: Did I follow the plan?
The only goal at this stage: build the habit of keeping records.

Months 3–4: Trade just one asset and one setup
