Do you think opening positions frequently is because you’re addicted?


Don’t be ridiculous.
To put it plainly, it’s one word—poor.
Wait, I’m not insulting anyone. This is plain truth.
You only have a few ten thousand U in hand—watching the chart bouncing hundreds of points a day—what do you expect him to do, just stay in cash and watch?
Impossible.
In his eyes, every candle jumping around is a chance to turn things around. Because he knows too well: if he misses this wave, he might have to endure for several more months.
Who listens to the lessons about “move less, wait more, do long-term trades”? People with principal.
Those with hundreds of thousands or millions of U can slowly wait for compounding, tolerate drawdowns, and missing a few rounds of market moves doesn’t really hurt.
But you? Your principal is just that little, and the time cost is killing you; life won’t give you that much patience either.
Make a 100% profit in three years? Sounds steady. But in these three years you might already have missed two rounds of big market moves, and if you suddenly need money in the middle, you’ll have to cut and exit at a loss.
Are there that many certain things in the crypto market?
If you don’t act, you’re afraid of missing out.
If you act, you’re afraid of making the wrong move.
Retail traders aren’t unwilling to earn stable profits—they just want to grow the principal first.
Only once the principal comes up do you have the right to talk about rhythm and position management.
So many people talk about win rates all day, but in their hearts they’re calculating odds:
If this one is right, you’ll still be ahead of the first ten little wins.
Catch one big move, and you’ll lose out on years of detours.
Is there anything wrong with that way of thinking? No.
So what’s the problem?
The problem is that most people—
They neither waited for that one big win, nor managed those first ten trades properly.
In the end it turns into:
Frequent opening, no logic at all, no stop loss, and random take profit.
When they lose, they say the market is targeting them.
Actually the market doesn’t even know who you are.
You’re just trading by gambling.
To be clear: frequent trading itself isn’t wrong.
With small capital, you have to try and make mistakes more—only then do you have a chance to grow big.
But the prerequisite is—you have to be crystal clear about:
Why you open this trade, and why you close it.
If you’re stuck in this state right now—
Afraid to stay in cash, always making mistakes, wanting to bet but afraid of losing—
then pause first.
Don’t rush to claw it back. First, get two things drilled solid:
How to take profit, and how to cut losses.
The market has never lacked opportunities.
What’s missing is whether you have the ability to stay alive long enough to catch that one.
