Having navigated the crypto market for many years, I have seen too many traders place dozens of orders in a single day, busy chasing gains and cutting losses, only to end up with a shattered mindset🔥



There is a simple logic behind this: the more frequently you trade, the easier it is to lose control of your emotions; the more chaotic your mindset, the faster your losses accumulate. This creates a vicious cycle.

Many beginners mistakenly believe that more trades mean more profits, but in reality, it's the opposite. Traders who truly survive in the crypto market usually make only one or two trades a day, each carefully considered, with risk managed steadily.

The competition in the crypto world is not about who can run faster, but who can survive longer. Once your mindset drifts or your trading becomes chaotic, your capital won't last more than a few days before it runs out.

This principle may seem simple, but practicing it requires strong self-discipline. The key points are fourfold:

1. **Stay calm no matter how crazy the market gets**—no chasing highs, no panic selling; this is fundamental.

2. **Learn to hold cash and wait**—the most comfortable position often comes from waiting on the sidelines.

3. **Add positions only after a trend is confirmed**—don't rush the market; let the market come to you.

4. **Be patient and endure loneliness**—most of the time, the best move is to do nothing.

In short, the survival rule for experts is: when uncertain, "wait"; when the opportunity truly arrives, then "dare" to act. A well-thought-out trade is worth ten impulsive ones. Profits are not made overnight but accumulated gradually through this steady approach.

I have firsthand experience. I've seen many guys making over ten trades a day, and in the end, they all get painfully taught a lesson by the market. Waiting on the sidelines with no position is really a wise approach. Many people end up losing because they can't hold back their hands.

Hey, you're so right. I used to be the kind of fool who made over ten trades a day, and in the end, I lost so much I doubted my life. Honestly, I just couldn't sit still, my hands were itching, and as a result, I lost money the fastest. Now I've figured it out—being in a flat position and waiting is the most comfortable state. This article really hit home for me.

Exactly right. All the friends around me who used to watch the market every day are gone now. Doing one or two trades a day is really much more comfortable than frantic operations, and the mindset is also stable. I truly understand the value of holding cash and waiting; sometimes being idle is the most profitable. That's why those who last long in the crypto world are the "lazy people."

That's right, those making a dozen or so trades a day are all suicidal trades, and they'll go to zero sooner or later.
