After reading a well-known trader's analysis, I finally figured it out—I'm not cut out for PvP at all.

I've never used the pages they operate, and those tools and logic are completely outside my knowledge blind spot. To be honest, my physical and mental stamina can't keep up with that pace. Frequent trading is basically suicide for me.

Instead of forcing my way in, it's better to find a rhythm that suits me. I've decided to shift to a higher time frame for position allocation—segmenting positions and lurking at low levels. It may seem slow, but it's steady and reliable.

This is my realization: fast strategies have their speed, slow strategies have their rhythm. The market is big enough, with many players, so why compete in a track you're not good at? Finding your own style is more important than anything else.

This realization is truly good; recognizing oneself is better than anything. I also took a long time to understand that the short-term approach doesn't suit me at all; a long-term strategy with a calm mindset is better.

This guy is right, I agree too. I can't handle that kind of intraday trading, my heart can't take it. Slowly accumulate, comfortably.

According to on-chain data, the liquidation rate for frequent traders is approximately 73%, while the long-term survival rate of dollar-cost averaging strategies is significantly better—this guy's self-awareness in this wave is indeed worth learning from. It is worth noting that psychological resilience and risk control ability often determine survival time more than trading skills. The specific analysis is as follows: a stable mindset in holding strategies is actually about resisting market irrationality, which is more difficult and more profitable than short-term pursuit of alpha returns.

Hey, that's right. Self-awareness is the most valuable. Chasing highs and selling lows isn't suitable for everyone; recognizing your own skill level is the key. Making money doesn't have to mean following every trend; stable growth is the real way to go. I really appreciate this straightforward attitude—much more reliable than those who blow their own horns every day. By the way, the tactic of lurking at low positions definitely requires patience. Can you hold on?

That's a good realization, much more clear-headed than those who constantly claim to be trading experts. The big cycle is really advantageous, saving effort and allowing you to sleep well. Frequent trading just pays fees to the exchange. Taking it slow is the way to last longer; there's no need to rush. This market is full of opportunities; why force yourself into things you're not good at? Knowing yourself is more valuable than anything else.

I'm just saying, frequent trading really is like giving away money. Recognizing your own step is the key. Honestly, accumulating slowly is the right way; the short-term approach has too high a threshold. This guy has figured it out—winning half by not following the trend. Frequent trading is purely psychological torture. I advise you not to try it. Finding your own rhythm is more valuable than anything else.

Oh, that's not right. Saying that frequent trading is self-destructive is too extreme. In fact, most people lose money because of poor mindset. A steady and cautious approach is indeed reliable, but don't belittle yourself as "not this material." Maybe you just haven't found the right rhythm yet. Recognizing your own strengths is important, but many people go through this process, so there's no need to be too pessimistic. Segmented position building is fine; I'm just worried that later you'll get itchy and chase hot trends again. How should I put it? Instead of denying yourself, it's better to say you've found a more comfortable way to live. Thinking this way changes your mindset entirely. Honestly, most people eventually shift to long-term holding. Quick trading is indeed a different game. There's no need to compare yourself to short-term experts. Just earn your own money and don't get caught up in others' games. Taking it slow is fine; just remember not to use "I can't" as an excuse. The biggest fear is self-abandonment. It's really about finding the right rhythm for yourself. There's nothing shameful about it; in fact, it's more rational than blindly following the trend.
