Many people ask me why I have been trading less recently. The market changes daily; aren't you afraid of missing opportunities? Speaking of which, I am also someone who has been through it.
Back in those days, ten or more trades a day was the norm. My eyes glued to the candlestick chart, no clue or detail escaped me. When the price surged, I jumped in; when it fell, I panicked; and when it rose a little more, I chased high. My account was like a roller coaster, shaking wildly, ending only with a heap of regret.
It was then I realized that true loss doesn't come from the market itself, but from my own restless hands. In the crypto world, it's not those lacking skills who fail, but those dragged down by their own frequent trades. On the surface, they seem to be catching opportunities, but in reality, they are continuously giving away profits.
The turning point came. I started to learn patience. When the market is volatile and unclear, I go completely flat. I only focus on that 20% of opportunities I can see through and grasp confidently. Don’t be fooled by my inactivity for several days; once I take action, I hit precisely. It feels like a calm hunter locking onto prey—patience is the most powerful weapon.
The hardest skill to master isn't predicting the market, but controlling the impulse to trade. Those who understand how to stay flat and wait ultimately make money in the market; those obsessed with frequent trading are led around by the nose by the market.
Now I prefer two trades a week, rather than reflexively clicking the mouse. While others are exhausted running around in front of their screens, I wait—wait for the market to come to me. Remember this: a true expert isn't someone who trades every day, but someone who can stay calm, watch others get liquidated, and only then start their own profit journey.
In the crypto world, it's not about speed, but about perseverance. Keep a steady mindset, and profits will naturally come knocking.

Indeed, being quick doesn't necessarily mean earning more; often, you end up losing even faster.
---
That hits home. I'm the kind of person who gets dragged down by frequent trading, and I'm still climbing out of the pit.
---
Can you really make money with just two trades a week? I feel insecure about it.
---
I can't learn to stay on the sidelines and wait; I always feel like I'm missing out, which ends up making me lose even more.
---
It's true, but it's really hard to do. I just can't stop staring at the screen.
---
People who can stay calm indeed earn more, but the problem is I simply can't stay calm.
Two trades a week may sound few, but accuracy is the key. I've seen too many old brothers who trade every day, and in the end, they all become withdrawal machines for exchanges.
Holding back your fingers from trading is truly more difficult than reading the market correctly, I deeply agree with this.
The state of waiting is indeed advanced, but unfortunately most people can't wait.
Holding an empty position is something that most people simply can't do. They always feel that not acting means losing.
Frequent operations are like stabbing yourself with a knife; only after suffering a big loss do you understand.
Discipline beats speed, I agree with that. The biggest enemy in the crypto world is always your restless heart.
I was also fooled by the tactic of doing nothing, and it turned out to be really effective.
The greatest test of patience is waiting, but most people can't wait three days and start to get itchy hands.
Frequent trading is like working for the exchange. Recognizing this is the first step to mastery.
Two precise trades a week are far better than ten random trades a day.
This is what skill looks like. Controlling impulses is a thousand times harder than predicting the market correctly.
Waiting is also a form of trading. Most people don't understand this principle.
