Does a High Win Rate Guarantee Profit? Why Do Some Traders Win Frequently Yet Still Lose Money Over the Long Term?

In the cryptocurrency market, many traders focus on one number: win rate.

A 70% win rate looks good.

An 80% win rate seems even more attractive.

But if a strategy wins many times in a row, yet the account balance doesn’t grow—or even keeps shrinking—what’s going wrong?

The answer may be simple: win rate only shows how frequently trades are profitable. On its own, it can’t determine whether a strategy will be profitable over the long term.

What really matters is the size of t

I. The takeaway first
BTC had just moved above 80000 yesterday, but today it was pushed back down near 75000; ETH also fell all the way from 2450 to around 2200.
This is not an ordinary minor pullback, but a sudden reversal in market risk sentiment. The most dangerous move right now is to rush in and buy the dip just because prices have fallen a lot.
As of publication, BTC was around 75600, with a 24-hour high of 80790 and low of 75200, down more than 6%; ETH was around 2225, with a high of 2434 and low of 2206, down more than 8%.

After a Loss, Why Does It Become Increasingly Difficult to Break Even?

In trading, there is a mathematical fact that is easy to overlook:

Losses and breaking even are not symmetrical.

Many people believe that as long as the market rises again, they have a chance to earn back the money they previously lost. But the problem is that once your account balance has shrunk, the return you need is no longer the same as it was initially.

Suppose you initially have $10,000.

If you lose 10%, your account is left with $9,000. At this point, you need a gain of about 11.1% to get back to $10,000.

What Is the Liquidation Price? How Should You Understand the Relationship Between Maintenance Margin, Unrealized Losses, and Forced Liquidation?

In crypto derivatives trading, many people focus only on changes in profit and loss after opening a position, while overlooking a key question: At what price could the position be forcibly liquidated? Understanding the liquidation price helps traders assess risks in advance and avoid losing control due to insufficient margin.

First, what is the liquidation price?

The liquidation price is the price level at which a position may trigger the forced li

What Verifiable Metrics Should We Use to Determine Whether a Web3 Network Is Making Progress?

In the Web3 world, we often see all kinds of exciting news: ecosystem partnerships are growing, new features are launching, development roadmaps are being updated, or new technological breakthroughs are being achieved.

But there is a more important question to ask:

Have these developments actually translated into improvements in the network’s capabilities?

Announcing a partnership does not mean users have started using the product; launching a new feature does not mean it solves a real problem; pu

How Should Trading Strategies Be Adjusted When Market Conditions Change?

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

But noticing 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 choppy, a strategy that was once effective may start triggering frequent stop-losses; when market volatility suddenly expands, even if you correctly predict the direction of a trade, you may still suffer losses due to oversized positions, increased slippage, or liquidation.
