The more trades there are, the more this matter becomes a pure zero-sum game — what you earn is what others lose.
The words of the ancients are not said in vain. In the short term, the market acts like a voting machine, reflecting only emotions and popular trends. However, when viewed over a longer time frame, it becomes a weighing machine, where the true value and fundamentals are measured.
Do you really want to turn things around here? To put it bluntly, there is only one way: drastically reduce the frequency of trades in your hands. It's not just a slight reduction; it should be a continuous drop. Keep reducing until you can distinguish that fluctuations are not risks, but merely market noise.
Duan Yongping's words hit pretty hard. In this era of AI, do retail investors still think they can make money by relying on hand speed and calculating fluctuations? Their speed and computing power are simply not on the same dimension.
The trader who frequently faced liquidation not long ago has jumped in to go long again. History does not repeat itself simply, but it often rhymes in similar ways. The market will not disappear, and there will always be opportunities; the problem is that the capital cannot withstand such turmoil.
Don't use the hustle of action to cover up laziness in choice. Trade less, observe more, and wait until it's truly your turn to take action. This often leads to going further than those who are constantly fidgeting.

Again it's this trap theory, which is correct but most people can't accept it. I've seen too many people say "this time it's different," and in the end, it's still the same result.

Another "trade less" suggestion, I've heard it N times but still can't change, after all, mental conditioning is too difficult.

You are right, frequent trading is working for the Bots. I've seen so many people making dozens of trades a day, and in the end, their accounts are a mess, while those who can hold on end up laughing last.
