Smart traders never obsess over winning every trade.

What do true winners do? Wait. Manage position sizes. Stick to long-term strategies. Let the money make money itself, rather than chasing the market.

This is the part most people fail to see through.

nah this is just basic risk management wrapped in philosophical language. the real question is whether your position sizing follows kelly criterion or you're just winging it lol

Well said, but most people are still there chasing gains and selling in panic.

Exactly, those who chase the candlestick charts are all bagholders. My current strategy is to monitor the mempool; waiting for obvious arbitrage opportunities. The thrill of taking them all out in one go far exceeds that of frequent small trades.

That's true, but knowing and doing are worlds apart.

Exactly right, but too many people are still chasing orders, not realizing they've already been cut.

It's just ridiculous. Watching people chase gains and sell off every day, going all-in in one shot, and then losing everything and crying. Does no one understand the power of compound interest?

Wait, isn't this just saying to be patient? But in reality, how many people can really resist the urge to act?

Wait a minute, these are the old clichés of "holding long-term"... I looked around, and some people are still making quick profits by chasing prices up and down every day.
