#贵金原油价格飙升

Many people ask me how to operate in this kind of market. My strategy is actually very simple: "subtract" in the crypto market and "add" in the TradFi market.

First, I did not chase the high open long positions.
This morning, both gold and crude oil gapped higher at the open. 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 decline. So I chose to wait, waiting for the market sentiment to first vent and then confirm a pullback.

Second, I made two "emotion hedges" in Gate TradFi.
As everyone knows, Gate’s TradFi sector can trade traditional assets 24/7, which is a godsend during weekend geopolitical conflicts.

· First trade: Long volatility. I didn’t buy physical gold directly but bought XAUT/USDT (tokenized gold). The logic is that when traditional financial markets are closed, tokenized assets are the most direct reflection of safe-haven sentiment. Early this morning, while BTC was still struggling around 63,000, XAUT had already established an independent trend.
· Second trade: Positioning in oil shipping derivatives. Since the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, besides crude oil itself, I allocated a small position in assets related to "freight" and "alternative energy" (via Gate’s stock CFD sector). While 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 over amount).
Currently, my floating profit is about 15%, but I have set strict trailing stops. In this market, 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."
