When you open your eyes in the morning, how many people have been ruthlessly washed out by the market again? Some look at their accounts, the price hasn't dropped much, but their positions have mysteriously disappeared—stop-loss orders triggered, margin call notifications flooding the screen. At that moment, all efforts and analysis seem so pale in comparison.

The more desperately you watch the charts, the more frequently you trade, trying to predict every move, the more likely you are to be beaten down by the market. Perhaps true wisdom doesn't lie in diligence, but in learning to let go. Set your strategy and go to sleep, let the market speak for itself. Sometimes, lazy traders end up laughing last.

The cruelty of the market lies in this—it never rewards anxiety, only those who can control their emotions and stick to their plans.

The frequent operation theory sounds comfortable, but what does the data say? Looking at historical K-line charts, accounts with more than 5 daily trades have an average return rate that is more than 30% lower than that of HODLers.

Once again, I got cut again. Woke up this morning to find my position gone... Watching the market constantly is truly a deadly disease; the more I watch, the more I lose. Lazy trading methods really have some merit. Once the stop-loss order is triggered, all analysis is useless. Set it and sleep, then deal with it when you wake up—that's the real way to survive. The market never rewards anxious people, only those who can endure. Frequent trading = giving away money. I realized this truth way too late. Controlling emotions is a hundred times harder than analyzing charts.

Once again, it's the argument of "let go and win," easy to say, but who isn't staring at the screen until their eyes hurt when actually doing it. I've heard this lazy way of making money too many times; it's still the same group of early adopters spinning stories. The real horror is when the price hasn't fallen and the position is gone—then you really can't sleep. Set a strategy and go to sleep? When you wake up, your account might be gone. Who dares to gamble?

Once again, I got liquidated, this time directly wiped out. I'm breaking apart. Watching the market constantly is truly a death sentence; the more I watch, the more I lose. Lazy winners, I’ve realized, next time I’ll just sleep through and check the market when I wake up. Even with anxiety at its peak, it can't save my position. This round is basically tuition paid; the market is just here to collect IQ taxes. Once the stop-loss order is triggered, all analysis becomes useless paper—so funny. I'm still too inexperienced; I always want to do something, but end up wiped out completely. Letting go? Bro, I can't even hold onto my position, how dare I think about letting go?
