Many people have a misconception about trading — thinking that the more effort they put into opening orders, the more they can earn. In fact, this is a false proposition.



The journey of trading, from 0 to 1, is already difficult; from 1 to 100 is the real test. In the early stages, you might not be able to afford a full meal, just hoping to have meat at the next meal. At this stage, the mindset is simply about survival; once you reach a certain level, you'll realize that high-frequency trading can actually be a problem. True trading masters pursue "precision, accuracy, and decisiveness" — accurately grasping trend movements, precisely timing entry points, and daring to add positions at critical moments.

When your capital reaches a certain scale, earning an extra 500,000 or losing 200,000 has little impact on your quality of life. What you really need to be cautious about is a single fatal decision. At this point, risk management weighs far more than pursuit of returns.

Trading is essentially a combination of mathematical calculations and psychological battles, requiring continuous iteration. Just like farmers planting crops, every fertilizer input affects next year's harvest. However, at a certain stage, you shouldn't still be frequently issuing trading signals — that's just standard for beginner players. Candlestick charts are only for reference; your true focus should be on broader market narratives: Can BTC break through its all-time high? Will ETH return to $4000?

Constantly thinking, continuously improving — this is the long-term winning strategy.

ngl the whole "work harder = earn more" cope is basically path dependency in action... historically most retail traders just end up proving sub-optimal incentive structures exist, not breaking them

There's nothing wrong with that; opening orders frequently is like committing suicide. Risk management is the real way to stay alive.

The old way of frequently placing orders is outdated; real winners are waiting for that one big trade.

Frequent trading = high returns. This logic should have been thrown into the trash long ago. The logic of computing power revenue ratio is also applicable to trading; being small but refined always beats being numerous and scattered. --- The narrative of BTC breaking its all-time high is more worth paying attention to than the minute-by-minute gains. This is the correct way to identify strategic opportunities. --- Once the capital volume increases, the risk weight of a single fatal decision indeed far exceeds the small gains from multiple trades. Risk management is the core algorithm at this stage. --- From a data perspective, accounts that trade frequently have a lower ROI than those that time the market precisely. This pattern can also be observed in mining pool operations. --- The fundamental competition in pinpointing the right entry point is still about the depth of understanding of market narratives, not just technical iteration. --- It sounds like discussing mining machine selection—every deployment must carefully calculate the cost-reward cycle. Mines that expand blindly often end up failing badly.
