Trading strategies-tipping the balance to profit


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've been playing around with my own trading method which of course is not new and based on well known techniques. What I'm finding is that I consitantly come out break even. My risk/reward ratio is 0.5:1 with a win rate of 66%. Technically I'm losing money due to the fees involved in trading but I find it interesting that i'm even at the break even mark. Although I'm not strictly day trading my trades are on time frames less than days. Perhaps I should compare this to random trading and see if that comes out worse with the same R/R ratio, I would imagine so. All this being said, do you have similar experiences of this and could you/did make changes that tip the balance from break even to profit? Although breakeven is not the aim I'm almost encouraged by the fact I'm not losing money. I have to say also that this is all on demo, so going to a real account may decrease my win rate. I find it hard to believe that when traders start out they just magically go from losing money to making money, there must be a gradual shift from losing to break even to profit.

Thaks for the advice

    • Mode is revving up the DeFi L2 scene. This project built on Optimism promises a "superchain" experience for developers and users. Sounds promising, but can Mode live up to the hype, or is it just another pit stop on the L2 highway? Mode joins a growing club of L2 solutions aiming to fix Ethereum's scaling woes. dYdX offers fancy derivatives on StarkNet, Immutable X caters to NFT enthusiasts, Arbitrum is another ambitious optimistic rollup, and Loopring focuses on low-fee crypto trading. Mode seems big on empowering developers and users. Their "Yield Accelerator" program specifically targets DeFi projects within their ecosystem, and they've partnered with some heavy hitters like Optimism and Circle. This focus on community building could be a smart move. Mode's upcoming launch on Bitget's PoolX adds to the excitement. But remember, DeFi is a crowded space, and new projects pop up all the time. So, is Mode the next DeFi darling? The jury's still out. Do your research before diving in. What do you think? Is Mode a DeFi gamechanger, or just another L2 wannabe?
