The real edge in trading comes from patience, not activity. Your job isn't to trade every day—it's to hunt for the best setups and sit tight. Money flows to those who wait for high-conviction opportunities, not those chasing noise and forcing positions. Sometimes doing nothing beats doing something.

That's why I only make a few trades in my account each year, and spend the rest of the time idling.

That's true, but executing it really is a torment.

That's right, I recently realized this as well. I used to watch the market every day and make random trades impulsively, resulting in huge losses. Now I've learned to relax and do nothing, and I've actually made a profit.

Lying flat and holding coins, waiting for the real opportunity is much better than trembling every day while watching the market.

Wait, can someone really do that? I'm the kind of person who can't resist and just wants to trade whenever I see the market.

Lying flat is the way to go; once-a-year bottom-fishing opportunities are much better than cutting losses every day.

Really? People who watch the market all day long often earn without fully understanding why.

nah most traders don't have the discipline for this, they see price move and panic trade immediately. statistical significance requires patience, not every candle is a signal

Laughing and then crying, I finally understand why I always lose... Turns out it's because my hands are too fast and my brain is too slow. Wait, does this mean we should sit still and do nothing? Then all the frantic trading I did over the past three years was in vain. Funds have a voice; they are talking to me using my account balance and reasoning with me. That's so true, but I still can't shake my itchy hands. Can anyone save me? Is there anyone who can only trade two or three times a month? I bet five dollars you can't do it.
