Strange phenomenon: frequent operations and rushing to secure profits, yet ending up losing more and more. Conversely, letting go when it’s time to let go, and money keeps flowing in.

This requires serious contemplation—should I hone my trading skills and take profit abilities, or simply lie flat and hold long-term? With these two paths in front of me, which one is truly the road to making money?

Frequent trading is suicide, I saw through it long ago. Just closing your eyes and going all-in is the most comfortable way.

Frequent operations are just sending gas fees to the exchange, wake up... Really, holding with your eyes closed actually earns you money.

熊熊 calculates the story that the Sharpe Ratio is telling us... People who trade frequently are actually fighting their own emotions; the data has long made this clear. While the long-term hold strategy indeed has a higher success rate, the key is that most people can't endure until that day and start banging their heads against the wall.

Frequent operations are just giving money to the exchange. To put it simply, being itchy is the original sin.

Frequent operations are just giving money to the exchange, I really understand now. Lying flat is easy to say, but really depends on your mindset to do it. Being as steady as a mountain is the way to go, stop messing around. Actually, it's just that I have a bad habit of poking around every day. The more I operate, the more I lose money—this is a painful lesson. Just leave it alone and you can earn, who can resist not to act? What’s the point of tempering? It’s basically just an excuse for reckless messing around. My conclusion is that closing your eyes and lying flat for three years is better than daily operations. Profit-taking ability? That’s a lie, no one can really master it. In short, it’s about quitting the addiction to trading.

Frequent operations are truly a fatal flaw; as soon as I get a moment of leisure, I want to act, and in the end, I end up doing nothing. Lying flat is easy to talk about, but actually doing it without feeling itchy is the real challenge. I think it still depends on the cryptocurrency; not everything can be just lying flat. Profit-taking ability? Ha, I haven't even figured out stop-loss yet. The more I want to make quick money, the harder it is to succeed, and this curse is really absurd. It's basically greed at work—when it's time to take profits, I instead double down.
