#贵金原油价格飙升

Many people ask me how to operate in this market condition. My strategy is actually very simple: in the crypto market, do "subtraction"; in the TradFi market, do "addition".

First, I did not chase the high open long positions.
This morning, whether it was gold or crude oil, both opened with gaps. Such gaps are very dangerous for those chasing the high. Once diplomatic negotiations (such as today’s Vienna technical talks) occur, a large profit-taking wave could trigger a waterfall-like correction. Therefore, I chose to wait, waiting for the market sentiment to be vented in the first wave and then confirm the pullback.

Second, I made two "sentiment hedges" on Gate TradFi.
Everyone knows that Gate’s TradFi sector can trade traditional assets 7*24 hours, which is a godsend during weekend geopolitical conflicts.

· First trade: long volatility. I did not buy spot gold directly but bought XAUT/USDT (tokenized gold). The logic is that when traditional financial markets are closed, tokenized assets are the most direct carriers of safe-haven sentiment. Early this morning, while BTC was still struggling around 63,000, XAUT had already established an independent trend.
· Second trade: layout of assets related to oil transportation derivatives. Since the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, besides crude oil itself, I allocated a small position to assets related to "freight" and "alternative energy" (through Gate’s stock CFD sector). Although directly going long on oil prices is exciting, the logic of rising freight costs due to supply chain disruptions is equally strong.

Finally, sharing some gains (mindset takes precedence over amount).
Currently, the floating profit of the position is about 15%, but I have set strict trailing stop-losses. In this market condition, more important than making money is "staying alive." As a friend said in the square, "Being able to stick to the rules in chaos already makes you a winner over most people."
