One month, the account lost a total of 80,000 USDT. And then? In the following half month, he surprisingly made back 50,000.



There’s no complicated technical secret behind this change.

The trader’s previous problem was actually quite typical: he could read indicators, draw support and resistance levels, and whenever there was a slight movement in the market, he couldn’t resist placing an order. He seemed to know everything, except for one fatal flaw—his fingers were too eager.

One day, he came to me and said something that sounded very painful but also very true: "I don’t expect to get rich overnight; I just want to stop being slowly eaten away day by day."

I didn’t tell him any advanced technical analysis rules, only asked him to try a simple constraint: at most two trades per week.

In the first week, it was obvious he was holding back. Market fluctuations, his fingers trembling, but he forced himself not to place any trades. The result? That week, he didn’t lose anything.

By around the tenth day, he started noticing a counterintuitive phenomenon: the less he chased or rushed, the more he could capture complete swing trades.

Half a month later, he sent over a screenshot of his account. The 80,000 USDT loss was finally stopped, and he even accumulated an additional 50,000 USDT profit.

His summary was very simple: "It turns out that not trading at all is actually so much better than reckless trading."

The reason this story is worth listening to is because it reveals a common phenomenon in the market. Many people are not lacking opportunities; what they lack is a discipline that allows them to slow down. Frequent trading is like constantly fighting against the market, and in the end, it often wears you down completely.

If you’ve also experienced the cycle of overtrading and repeated exhaustion, then perhaps the real breakthrough isn’t about learning more trading techniques, but about finding a trading rhythm that allows you to slow down and stabilize.

Two orders a week sounds simple, but in reality, it's harder than any technology. Fingers are truly the original sin.

Doing two transactions a week is a brilliant trick; it really can help break the habit.

That's my pain point... I keep clicking impulsively, and within a week, my orders pile up into a mountain.

I just can't stop clicking my fingers, I have the same problem, two trades a week is already difficult... This guy stubbornly held on for a week and ended up making money? How is that so counterintuitive... The art of stop-loss is to do nothing, I really feel it... Instead of spamming the screen watching the market, it's better to go to sleep. Only when you're sober can you see the market clearly. Having ten or more trades a day is really torturous. Now I finally understand what it means to be bloodied by the market...
