There are two types of people in the trading market. They may seem to have different approaches, but essentially they are the same.
One relies on frequent daily trades to maintain a sense of presence, while the other creates buzz through content to attract traffic. They both need one thing—your continuous attention. They want you to have the urge to trade every day, to fall into emotional swings every day, to feel like you're missing out on something every day.
And my logic is completely the opposite. I need you to stay calm at the bottom and be patient when the trend starts.
The three most feared things in short-term trading are quite interesting:
**Slow** — The cycle of holding cash makes them lose the stage and topics. **Empty** — Without volatility, there are no materials, making it hard to create hot spots. **Right** — Once you are right in the long term, it exposes that all previous frequent trades were a waste.
So they can only be stuck in the same comfort zone, encouraging each other, supporting each other, collectively proving "our direction is correct."
Money itself has no bias, but trading goes against human nature. Given enough time, emotions will automatically reset, leaving only cyclical patterns and the final account results. This can never be changed.

That's really hitting home. Lazy winning indeed earns more than daily trading.

I can't argue with that logic, but to be honest, most people simply can't change that bad habit.

That's a brilliant point. The short-term traders really rely on your anxiety to survive.

That was harsh, but it really hits home. Aren't those who call out signals every day just living off your anxiety?

actually, this hits different... the whole "trapped in their own echo chamber" thing? statistically speaking that's like 87% of retail traders right there. they *need* the noise to justify the losses, empirically speaking.

That's right, those short-term traders are just machines producing anxiety.
Exactly, I'm tired of their constant rhetoric.
Lying flat and holding coins is much more comfortable than day trading; in the end, time always wins.
