Many people are asking how to achieve consistent profits. The core isn't that complicated—it's simply not to trade too frequently.



I used to fall into this trap myself, being the kind of trader who opens a position at every possible moment. What was the result? Most of the time, market liquidity is actually quite poor. If you jump in, you either make a tiny profit or get caught with a small loss and hold on painfully. Money flows out just as quickly as it comes in—fast, but out even faster.

Now, my strategy has changed—take one shot and then stop, patiently wait. Sounds simple, right? In reality, this requires support from multiple levels of knowledge. First, you need to understand where liquidity is. Second, you must resist the urge to trade impulsively. Finally, you need the mindset to endure the fluctuations during holding periods without being driven by emotions.

Honestly, most people haven't yet reached the stage where they can hold positions freely—meaning, when holding a position, they can keep a stable mindset and aren't scared off by short-term volatility. This takes time and experience to develop.

Opportunities are something that come from waiting. The trend of BTC is clearer than ever, but the question is whether you have the patience to wait for that confirmed moment. Instead of wasting time every day messing around, it's better to focus your energy on understanding market logic.

Well said, just don't be greedy with your hands. Wait until liquidity truly arrives before entering. Frequent trading is a painful lesson, and losses happen very quickly. Mindset is the hardest part; most people simply can't sit still. Waiting is indeed difficult, but this is the line that separates making money from losing money. Don't talk so much, just one sentence: shut up and hold, profits will come to you on their own.

You're not wrong; hand itch syndrome is a terminal illness. I've seen too many people go bankrupt because of this damn thing.

That's so true, the impulse to trade is really the killer for retail investors. I used to be the same way; whenever I saw volatility, I wanted to act, but the trading fees ate up half of the profits. The key is still mindset; most people fail because they can't wait. Now I understand that good trading is about passing the time in boredom.

That's so true, reckless trading is really the number one killer for retail investors. Frequent operations are just giving money to the exchange. I used to do the same, constantly trying to buy the dip and sell at the top. What was the result? Losing everything in fees. Now I just hold my position and wait, that's the most effective strategy.

That's right, I used to be the kind of person who couldn't resist, but now I realize that less action really means more profit. Waiting for this thing is easy to talk about, but sticking with it is torture; mental resilience really needs to be cultivated. The itch to trade is a trader's occupational disease. If you can't quit, your account will be finished. Entering during low liquidity is just like giving away money; learning to avoid these traps is the beginning of making money. Most people truly can't withstand the psychological pressure during holding periods; they cut their positions at the first dip—what a bloody lesson. Waiting for a confirmed signal is half as exhausting as constantly messing around every day. Understanding market logic is more important than anything else, but unfortunately, most people are still gambling.

That's so true. I used to be impulsive and open positions every day, which resulted in huge losses. Really, patience and holding positions pay off more than frequent trading. This is a lesson I learned the hard way with my money.
