According to BlockBeats, on October 14, top trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio shared insights on social media about what makes a truly excellent trader. He highlighted three essential qualities that successful traders should possess. Firstly, Ng emphasized the importance of having acute emotional awareness. A proficient trader should be able to recognize when they are experiencing psychological biases and choose to step away from the screen during such moments. This self-awareness helps in maintaining objectivity and preventing impulsive decisions that could lead to losses. Secondly, Ng stressed the necessity of building a robust risk management framework. A sound trading system should be capable of mitigating downside losses and withstanding events that fall within 2, 3, or 4 standard deviations. These statistical measures are typically used to assess asset price volatility, and incorporating them into a trading system can help identify potential trading opportunities, manage risks, and detect market anomalies. By understanding the normal range of market fluctuations and possible outliers, traders can better navigate the financial markets. Lastly, Ng pointed out the importance of enhancing aggressiveness through bet sizing. When traders have high confidence in a particular trade, they should be able to evaluate whether the size of their position is appropriate. This involves balancing the potential rewards with the associated risks to maximize gains while minimizing potential losses. BlockBeats notes that the use of 2, 3, and 4 standard deviations in trading systems is crucial for evaluating asset price volatility. These statistical events help traders determine the normal range of market movements and identify potential anomalies. By integrating these measures into their risk management strategies, traders can better assess market conditions and make informed decisions.

Matrixport released a chart saying that in 2024, investors in leveraged assets of mining stocks can be said to be in a difficult situation. Due to the halving of miner rewards, the publicly listed Bitcoin mining sector has performed poorly. In contrast, a simpler and more efficient strategy is to hold a Bitcoin spot ETF, such as the iShares IBIT launched by BlackRock in mid-January. This year, even Bitcoin-related companies like Coinbase have underperformed Bitcoin in terms of stock prices. However, MicroStrategy has significantly outperformed other crypto assets with its strategy of borrowing to buy Bitcoin. This positive trend may continue to provide support for Bitcoin prices.
