What Is the Sharpe Ratio? How Can You Measure Whether the Returns from a Trading Strategy Are Worth the Risk?
In cryptocurrency trading, a high return does not necessarily mean a strategy is good. If a strategy earns high returns but comes with sharp fluctuations and significant drawdowns, we need to ask: Are those returns 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 higher the value,

I called a long on ETH at 2228 on the 30th; it’s now at 2426U, up nearly 200 points.
Back then, it had just been dumped to 2178, falling even harder than BTC, and the whole screen was full of people cursing ETH for being useless.
This past week, it hit resistance below 2300 three times—2309, 2300, and 2301—and each time it was just a little short, only to get pushed back down. Quite a few guys couldn’t hold on and got out near their entry price.
This time it finally broke through. The first target at 2350 was hit, so I took half off and pocketed the gains. The rest topped out at 2443, just 7 p

After eleven years of trading and more than a year of reflection, I have returned to the platform. I have publicly achieved returns of over 10000% in live trading countless times before. Perhaps that was luck, but this time, with the experience and technical skills I’ve built up over the years, along with patience and a steady approach, I’m determined to prove myself again and achieve 10000% in live trading.
Record: November 5, 2026.

#SK海力士跌近7% #美股财报季 The decline in storage and AI chip stocks this time was mainly due to profit-taking after a strong rally, prompted by the U.S. midterm election results. Storage demand itself has not noticeably weakened; the market is reassessing the pace of AI data center construction.
On November 5, SK Hynix fell about 6.7%, while Samsung Electronics also dropped nearly 6%.
Why it looks more like profit-taking
Big gains and crowded positioning: SK Hynix and Samsung were the stocks with the largest net foreign selling this year, as investors rebalanced their portfolios.

Bitcoin at $80,000: Can the rally continue?
My assessment: BTC’s move above $80,000 is promising; however, simply reclaiming the $80,000 level does not confirm the start of a new bull trend. The truly critical question is whether Bitcoin can transform the $80,000 mark from a point of resistance into a reliable level of support.
We can consider two distinct scenarios:
* A continuation of the rally: This would involve spot buyers returning to the market, stronger inflows into ETFs, and BTC establishing a firm foothold above $80,000 before pushing toward the $82,000 level.
* A tempo

What is the funding rate? Why can perpetual contracts continuously generate holding costs even when prices show no significant change?
In crypto trading, many people focus only on price movements after opening a position and overlook the funding rate. For perpetual contract traders, even if prices move sideways for an extended period, a nonzero funding rate may result in additional costs or returns while holding a position.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a mechanism through which longs and shorts in perpetual contracts make periodic payments to each other, with the aim of

$TRUMP Is Showing Oversold Signals, but a Bottom Still Requires Evidence That the Decline Has Stopped
$TRUMP is currently priced at 1.26, down 16.721744877726362% over 24 hours, with an intraday high of 1.524 and a low of 1.218. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends are both weak, and the 1-hour volume ratio is just 0.022126930313084815. The price has fallen from 1.524 to around 1.218—a sufficiently steep drop for oversold conditions to start emerging, with demand for a rebound building. But oversold describes exhausted momentum; it does not confirm a reversal. Until the structure stops weakening, I wo

⚖️ OFAC has once again extended the freeze on Citgo: the auction is on hold until December 18.
There have now been 28 extensions since the original license. No one gets paid yet, and no one loses yet: a technical stalemate renewed every few weeks, leaving uncertainty as the case’s main asset.
But the most important detail isn’t the extension itself, but a clarification from OFAC: the agency hinted that it could authorize specific licenses allowing holders of PDVSA 2020 bonds to negotiate restructurings or refinancings, even separately from the guarantee tied to Citgo.

Unitree Robotics CEO Wang Xingxing explained at a forum that this year’s robot combat demonstrations were less entertaining than last year’s because the robots had become much more stable: they could stay on their feet even after being hit, so there were fewer dramatic knockdowns. Last year, their poor stability actually made the fights feel more intense. He also introduced fully autonomous combat powered by an end-to-end world model.
Technological progress has turned “more stable” into “less entertaining”—stability has come at the expense of spectacle. The progress is good, but staying on you

BTC has risen nearly 6,000 this round. I imagine quite a few people got caught in losing positions. I’ve been calling for longs at 76,500 for days—do you still want to short?
Being stuck in a losing position isn’t scary; what’s scary is not knowing how high it could go. It’s been moving sideways around 80k without breaking below it. Honestly, the bulls are pretty strong this time. If you’re not too deep in the hole, let’s fight back!!!$BTC $ETH #BTC重返8万
