After spending a long time in the crypto world, I discovered a pattern: people who lose money are often not the least skilled, but the ones placing the most trades.


Some time ago, an older brother reached out to me, saying he made over 70 trades in a month.
I asked him about his performance, and he said he broke even—neither made nor lost money, but he paid a lot in fees.
I glanced at his records, and the problem was obvious: whenever the market moved, he wanted to follow; when it rose, he was afraid of missing out; when it fell, he wanted to buy the dip; even during sideways trading, he would make a couple of trades.
After a month, he was exhausted, but his account hardly moved.
I told him a harsh truth: the market opens every day, but that doesn’t mean you have to trade every day.
Many people treat trading like a job—if they don’t make a move all day, they feel uneasy.
But truly worthwhile opportunities only come around two or three times a week.
My own approach is very simple: only trade what I understand; if I don’t understand it, I wait; assess the risk clearly first, and cut when it hits; when there’s no clear direction, staying in cash is the best move.
Later, he cut his trades by more than half and started learning to wait for opportunities.
Not long after, he felt more relaxed, and his account started to gradually grow.
In trading, it’s not about who trades the most, but who makes the fewest mistakes. #SK海力士市值登顶韩股
