Staring at the screen until your hands tremble—that's a common problem for many newcomers. I used to be the same way,每天几乎把眼睛贴在K线图上,价格稍微波动一下心率就飙升。结果两个月下来,人瘦了一圈,账户更是缩水三分之一。
The crypto market runs 24/7 without limits on price fluctuations, and this feature makes frequent market watching a trap. You’ll find that coins which surge 50% today might be halved the next. Traders who watch the market constantly are most prone to emotional pitfalls—greed leads to over-leveraging during rises, fear causes panic selling during drops, ultimately leading to repeatedly buying high and selling low, forming a vicious cycle of losses.
A seasoned trader once said, and I remember this vividly: "In the crypto world, it’s not about how diligently you watch the market, but whether you have enough patience." This guy might only make five or six trades a year, spending most of his time studying the market and learning, yet his annualized returns consistently surpass 90%, outperforming high-frequency traders.
The true investment logic should be like a farmer waiting for the seasons to turn, not like a surfer chasing every wave. When you find yourself being driven by price fluctuations, even losing sleep over it, you might want to ask yourself: Am I truly trading, or am I being traded by the market?

Laughing and then crying, the account also cried, this is the ultimate secret of watching the market
Six or five trades a year with annualized returns still outperform high-frequency trading, fine, I believe it, am I trading or being led around by the market?
Sleep disturbance is the mildest; I can now dream while looking at K-line charts, dreaming of still cutting losses
It's incredible, it turns out that my two months of weight loss were actually due to investing; I thought I was sick
Discipline is easy to say but harder to do than quitting smoking, especially when watching others' coins skyrocket

I fucking am the person who lost a lot of weight, now looking at the K-line all I see are shadows.
Well said, discipline is the key, frequent trading is suicide.
Five or six trades a year with annualized returns that can beat us, it's terrifying to think about.
The feeling of being traded by the market... too real, brother. Now I’m constantly trying to stop watching the market.
The trembling hands crew reporting in, my account is trembling away too.

Shaking Hands Brother shares his experience, and I feel deeply touched...
Doing five or six trades a year and outperforming daily traders is truly impressive.
Is it really possible to make money without watching the market? I feel like I get more anxious when I don't watch.
The word "discipline" is so comforting; that's exactly what I lack.
So true, the feeling of being traded by the market is really uncomfortable.

My goodness, isn't this talking about me... Still trembling from before and haven't recovered
My past self, just a lesson learned now
The words "self-control" sound easy, but in reality, it's hellishly difficult to practice
Five or six trades a year? I lose money even with five or six trades a day
That part about sleep being affected really hit home, I must change it

这种经历在圈子里其实很普遍。很多新手都觉得盯盘越紧密,交易机会就越多,收益自然就越高。但几年下来才明白,活得最久的从来不是那些最会折腾的人,而是真正有耐心的那批。
