Sure, you need screen time to sharpen your trading skills. But here's the trap most people fall into—even the consistently profitable ones.
They take trades they shouldn't. Low-probability setups. Boredom trades. Revenge trades.
The real edge? Knowing when NOT to hit that button. Quality over quantity isn't just a cliché in trading—it's the difference between grinding gains and bleeding your account dry. Overtrading kills more portfolios than bad analysis ever will.

Not pressing your finger is the strongest trading skill, understand?

That's right, I'm a living example of that kind of itchy press... The account witnesses what is called overtrading

To be honest, I have seen too many people staring at the market until they are dazzled, and in the end they burst their positions because of itchy hands. It's really much harder to hold down that button than to tap it.
