Automated trading sounds great, but I found a pitfall — too high a frequency can actually be risky. Making a trade every five minutes, honestly, feels a bit rushed.
Signal recognition isn't difficult; the hard part is executing the strategy. Even if you catch a reliable trading opportunity, operating according to such a super short cycle—slippage, transaction fees, market noise... these hidden costs will gradually eat into the profits.
More importantly, high frequency means high exposure. Every trade adds to the accumulation of systemic risk, and the market's random fluctuations often trap you in frequent operations.
So recently, I've been adjusting indicator parameters. The core idea is to reduce the operation frequency and improve the quality of each signal. Although this reduces the number of trades, the win rate and profit margin per trade actually increase. Safe and stable returns are much more realistic than chasing high operation frequency.

One order every five minutes? Bro, are you trading or gambling? The fees can eat away half your life.

High-frequency trading is just paying transaction fees to the exchange—what a painful lesson.

Haha, what a painful lesson. I’m still paying the fees for my orders that are placed every five minutes.

A trade every five minutes? That's just working for the exchange; the transaction fees are barely covered.

One order every five minutes? Bro, this isn't trading, it's gambling. The slippage and fees have already eaten up all the profits.
