Profits don't come from constant trading. They come from patience. The traders who actually make money understand this—they hold their positions, wait for the right moment, and act decisively when opportunity shows up. Meanwhile, everyone else is chasing every move, burning fees and fighting the market's noise. Real gains? That's the reward for discipline and timing, not activity.

That's true, but how many people can actually do it?

You're not wrong, but most people can't do it. Watching the chart and bouncing your legs really feels uncomfortable.

Doesn't that mean "move less, watch more"? Those who make money never chase after rising prices or sell in a panic.

Holding ≠ lying flat, the problem is that most people simply can't wait

That's true, but most people just can't do it. They get itchy just by looking at the candlestick chart.

Well said, but the reality is that 99% of people can't do it. Watching others make money makes it hard to sit still.

Well said, but the reality is that most people can't sit still at all, constantly watching the market like gamblers addicted to it.
