What Is a Trailing Stop? How Can You Protect Existing Profits Without Exiting a Trend Too Early?

In crypto trading, after prices rise, traders often face a dilemma: when should they take profit? Selling too early may mean missing further gains; holding on too long may allow existing profits to gradually evaporate. A trailing stop offers a way to dynamically manage exit levels, but it also has limitations.

First, what is a trailing stop?

A trailing stop is a strategy that adjusts the stop-loss level as the price moves favorably. For a long position, for example, as the price continues to ris

ETH short strategy executed with precision! The morning outlook clearly called for shorting a rebound in the 2260-2280 range, with take-profit targets at 2220-2205. The market weakened as expected along the descending channel, dipping to a low of 2215.17. Both the direction and price levels matched the move perfectly.

Stop envying others for catching the market. Real skill means figuring out the rhythm of the price action before the market opens. Get the direction right and the levels clear, and no market move will pass you by. #ETH

Tonight’s NFP data: Watch resistance at 2236-2250-2286. If it breaks through, chase long; if the breakout stalls or it fails to break through, sell at the highs. Watch 2215-2205-2200-2175 below. If it breaks through, chase short 🈳; if it fails to break through or the breakdown stalls, buy the rebound and go long. Be sure to account for Beijing time!!!!!

#GateLaunchesPoSECProofOfSecurity

During the time I’ve spent in crypto and on Gate, I’ve realized one simple thing: good numbers in your balance matter, but it’s even more important to know how securely they’re protected. That’s why the launch of Gate PoSEC — Proof of Security — caught my attention. To me, it’s not just a new name or another report. It’s an attempt to look at exchange security in a different scenario: what happens to users’ funds if the worst happens?

I used to pay more attention to Proof of Reserves. It’s an easy-to-understand indicator: does the platform have enough ass

$BTC 📉
I think at this point it's much better if we dump below, take out the liquidity, and form a new range. 🌊
What I see is that Alts, especially a few of them like $INJ , didn't dump; they even stayed very strong. 💪
There will be a buying opportunity, just stay ready. 🚀
For the ones who wait to load their bag I think anything below 75k down to 70k is a MUST buy zone for #BTC and alts

The morning strategy had a precise entry for a BTC long. Those who got in should trim their position at 75,700, set a breakeven stop, and hold for a bit

Will $RAY | @Raydium cross $3B market cap this time? 👀
Raydium has done this before:
✅ $1.2B → $55M
✅ $55M → $2.5B
This cycle it bottomed at $150M.
The setup in one line:
➠ Raydium is now Solana’s main venue for trading tokenized stocks, revenue grew 264% last quarter, and it has already spent $204M buying back its own token.
➠ The market values all of that at ~$460M.
✦ The revenue is coming back, fast
Quarterly net revenue:
Q1 2026: $6.10M
Q2 2026: $2.19M
Q3 2026: $7.99M
September alone did $6.06M, Raydium’s best month in a year. Annualize September and you get a ~$73M run rate.
Q3 buybacks:

The more I read about the government shutdown, the more confused I get. Trump flat-out said that “the people getting laid off are all Democrats,” then added that a shutdown could “get rid of things we don’t want.” This isn’t budget negotiations—it’s using federal employees as bargaining chips. If the government really shuts down, data releases will be delayed and economic readings will go dark, sending market sentiment straight into fear. Retail investors are the ones most likely to get caught in the crossfire when there’s an information vacuum. What do you think?

🚢 IRAN-LINKED SHIPS SPOTTED NEAR CRITICAL UNDERSEA INTERNET CABLES!
• 4 Iran-linked ships reportedly spotted near cables in the Gulf of Oman.
• These cables carry internet traffic for Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain & Qatar.
• Any damage could disrupt banking and digital services.
NO CABLE DAMAGE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED SO FAR.

$BTC is under heavy pressure after breaking below its key support zone.

Price has already retested the broken level and is now moving toward the previous low, where liquidity could be waiting.

I'm watching for a possible liquidity sweep followed by a strong reversal. If buyers step in and reclaim support, BTC could make a sharp recovery.

One liquidity grab could change the entire market structure. Eyes on BTC

Let’s take a look at options! First, SanDisk:

Last close: 806.43. Net GEX across the full chain is about −5.78M, status Storm, with no Flip within ±25% of spot. Full-chain walls: Call 1300 / Put 1000.
By expiration: 11/6 net GEX is about −2.58M (Call wall 1400, Put wall marked at 630); 11/13 about −0.74M (Put wall 820); 11/20 monthly about −2.11M (Put wall 1000, put OI at that strike ≈2303).
This week’s Max Pain is 1130 (expected range about 724–889); 11/13: 1190; 11/20: 1310. ATM IV (this week) is extremely elevated. Too far away to matter.
What changed from 11/4 to 11/5?
Price: 1030 → 827 (

I took a look at SanDisk and noticed some signs it may have stopped falling, so I opened a small long position of one lot

Tonight at 21:30, October nonfarm payrolls and unemployment rate data are due. The expectations in this set of figures show a striking contrast.

First, nonfarm payrolls: the previous reading was just 29k due to hurricanes and strikes, while this time the forecast is 65k. Although that’s more than double, 65k is actually not particularly high by normal U.S. economic data standards. Tonight, the key may not be how strong the number is, but how much it has recovered.

Next, the unemployment rate: the forecast of 4.20% is unchanged from the previous reading, reflecting the market’s relatively ste

Last night, the Nasdaq 100 plunged 6.36%, and $BTC was not spared...

It tumbled from above $80,000 to around $75,000, falling more than 6% in 24 hours, while the crypto market saw over $1 billion in liquidations.

I've been watching the correlation between BTC and U.S. stocks, and this once again confirmed a pattern:

When global capital starts collectively reducing risk exposure, BTC still finds it hard to decouple; especially when market volatility surges, leveraged liquidations further amplify short-term declines.

BTC has now returned to the vicinity of its previous key low, and the $75,
