#美国非农就业数据未达市场预期 A month lost 80,000 USD. In the past half month, I turned around, and the account received 50,000.



It's not the kind of story about a sudden margin call. It's more heartbreaking — losing a little every day, slowly worn down by the market.

This guy was very confident before. Watching candlestick charts, skilled in technical analysis, and immediately following the trend when it moves. But he had a fatal flaw: he couldn't stop trading, constantly making transactions.

When he found me, he said honestly: "I'm not greedy for getting rich overnight, I just don't want to bleed every day like this."

I didn't teach him any technical skills, I just asked him to do one thing — trade at most twice a week.

In the first week, he was almost going crazy. When the market fluctuated, his fingers wanted to click. But he forced himself to hold back. And what was the result? No losses.

By the 10th day, he suddenly had an epiphany: not chasing, not grabbing, actually allows him to catch the full market swings.

Half a month later, he sent me a screenshot of his account. The 80,000 USD gap was filled, and he had an additional 50,000 USD in profit.

He sent me a message: "It turns out that doing nothing is so much better than constantly moving."

A very painful truth is — most people don't lack opportunities; they are just constantly fighting the market with frequent trades.

Crypto markets are volatile and tempting. If you've also been troubled by frequent trading, what you might lack isn't technical skills or indicators, but a trading system that truly helps you stay calm and slow down.

Sometimes, the most profitable trade is — waiting and letting go.

Honestly, the hands are really toxic. I only realized this after being cut a few times myself. Hearing twice a week sounds simple, but in practice, it really requires strong psychological resilience. But this story is a bit too perfect; in actual operation, it's hard to guarantee that you can catch the full wave every time. Luck also plays a significant role. Anyway, now I ask myself three times whether I should act whenever I see a good opportunity, saving a lot on fees and slippage. Frequent trading is indeed a nightmare for most retail investors, there's no doubt about that. Waiting for this to happen is easy to say but hard to do; who doesn't want to buy the dip every day and sell at the top? The key is to have a clear trading plan; otherwise, no matter how much you endure, it's all in vain. I've seen this kind of story several times; each time it feels heartbreaking, but then I get itchy hands again.

To be honest, this story is a bit of a motivational cliché, but it really hit home for me... I'm also the kind of person who can't resist clicking, making dozens of trades a day. An 80,000 gap sounds familiar, what should I do? Twice a week? I'll try to see if I can stick to it...

You really have to control your hands, or the market will control your wallet. --- This story is a bit harsh; losing a little every day is more painful than a direct liquidation. --- Trading twice a week just to make money? I feel like I'm the opposite example haha. --- The core is just don't overdo it; if you do well, it's not that hard. --- You're right, most people are really just fighting against themselves. --- Staying still and not moving is easier said than done, damn hard indeed. --- When the market starts moving, some want to go all-in right away. I know a bunch of people like that. --- I've heard this theory many times, but what if you can't execute it? --- Not setting stop-loss or take-profit, frequent trading is just asking for death. --- That's what they say, but who can really hold back?

Hand itching really is the incurable disease of crypto trading, slowly cutting into your heart even more than a liquidation. I truly understand the feeling of bleeding every day; it's actually more at ease than going all-in in one shot. I've also tried this twice a week; it was really tough a few days ago, but later I understood — doing nothing actually means making money.

ngl, the "2 trades per week" thing sounds like pure cope copium, technically speaking if you look at the data most retail just gets rekt by their own hands anyway... impermanent loss of capital, more like impermanent brain cells lol. sustainable returns tho? that's the real yield optimization nobody talks about
