Most traders get it wrong—we obsess over entries and exits, but the real game is sitting tight. Four out of five trades? You're literally just waiting. Watching charts, controlling the urge to tinker, resisting FOMO. That's where fortunes are made. The patience to hold beats the addiction to trade.

According to on-chain data, 80% of retail investors' losses are precisely due to overtrading, and this article hits the core pain point. From three perspectives: first, the gas costs of high-frequency operations erode profits; second, slippage losses caused by emotional decision-making; third, the compounding effect of holding options is weakened by trading frequency. It is worth noting that true alpha often lies not in market timing, but in patience and strategic allocation followed by waiting.

80% of retail investors simply don't understand that the real capital game happens during those times of "doing nothing."

To be honest, doing nothing is the real skill. Last year, I was careless and changed my order, which resulted in a huge loss. Now I just set the stop-loss and go to sleep.
