#大户持仓动态 Once, I was the typical example of "frequent trading but continuous losses."



I wouldn't dare close the market startup screen, and a slight fluctuation in the candlestick chart would make my fingers itch. If I didn't check the market for ten minutes, I would start to feel anxious. A day without trading felt like missing out on the year's biggest opportunity.

And the result? The more aggressively I acted, the faster I lost. My positions were repeatedly harvested.

At that time, I was deceived by a illusion:

"The more times I bet, the higher the chance of success."

The market slapped me with reality.

Transaction fees ate into what should have been profits,

Emotional trading amplified every mistake,

A fierce round of entering and exiting,

Finally leading to that glaring drawdown curve on my account.

The real turning point came in a moment — I suddenly realized:

Trading isn't about how fast your fingers are,

But about how deep your understanding of the target is.

Since then, I deliberately started to be "lazy."

No longer watching every minute's fluctuations,

Only checking key support and resistance levels at specific times;

No longer rushing in at every fluctuation,

First stopping to ask myself —

What is my expected win rate?

Is the risk-reward ratio of this trade worth it?

For that 1% possible gain, should I really take on this risk?

If I can't figure out a trade, I let it go.

No matter how tempting the opportunity, I don't touch it.

Something magical happened:

The number of trades per month decreased,

And my account became more stable.

From over ten trades a day in the past,

To maybe just one trade a week now;

From relying on luck to make money,

To now clearly understanding how every cent is earned.

Because I finally understood:

Trading isn't about guessing numbers,

But about calculating probabilities.

What you're betting on isn't just "up or down,"

But evaluating:

Am I standing on the right side of the probability this time?

Long-term stable profits,

Are never achieved by a single gamble to turn things around,

But by doing the right thing every time —

"Seize every opportunity to earn,

Diligently avoid risks that shouldn't be taken."

Today, I no longer chase hot trends, argue with the market, or be driven by FOMO. Trading has transformed from a gamble into a discipline focused on risk management and probabilistic thinking.

I totally agree, the faster your hands move, the faster you lose... Exactly, the inability to resist the itch to trade is the real killer. This was me half a year ago, and now I regret it. Trading fees are truly an invisible cut, laziness actually ends up making money. One trade per week vs. ten trades per day, the account curve is completely worlds apart.

Oh no, isn't this just a replica of my past self, constantly tapping on my phone all day. Really? Less operation actually makes more money. I'm getting lazier and more stable. That's right, transaction fees are indeed the invisible scythe, I've been burned by it too. Anyone who can stop the itch must be rich, I'm still training myself. Probabilistic thinking sounds simple when you talk about it, but look at how many people actually do it.

This story sounds good, but I'm more concerned about — are those frequently trading wallet addresses now dormant?

Really? I used to be someone who couldn't resist, checking the market a hundred or so times a day. Actually, I just didn't think clearly about what I really wanted.

That's right, having quick reflexes really doesn't help; you also need to ask yourself why you're placing this order.

Well said. It's only when you're older that you realize this truth; when you're young, you really have a reckless hand.
