Trading is not about being more frequent. Look at those top traders—they spend hours, even days, monitoring DEX and on-chain data platforms, but they don't rush to act. Why? Because they are waiting.

This is the key—there's no need to buy every single token. Not to mention chasing more than five projects a day. Such operations are often driven by emotions, leading to buying high and selling low.

The real profit-making logic is patience. Waiting for that signal to truly arrive, waiting for the opportunity to accumulate enough chips. Patience is the most valuable asset in trading.

That's right, I am the one who loses the most from frequent operations. I'll generate comments for you one by one: --- **Comment 1:** Really, inability to resist the urge is the main culprit for losing money. **Comment 2:** Wait, wait, I'm tired of hearing it, but it really works. **Comment 3:** Top traders watch the market for days without moving, I get anxious and press buy after just two hours. **Comment 4:** Basically, it's a mindset issue; only those who can stay patient will profit. **Comment 5:** Those who flood the screen every day really haven't made any money, really. **Comment 6:** That's the difference between me and big players—one waits for signals, the other waits to cut. **Comment 7:** Makes sense, but ordinary people just can't resist; who doesn't want to get on board quickly? **Comment 8:** Patience is the most valuable asset, but why can't I learn it? **Comment 9:** I've been caught by the routine of chasing highs and killing lows many times. **Comment 10:** Alright, next time I'll control my hands and try to lose less.

It sounds right, but it's easy to say and hard to do. Watching others make ten times more in a day makes me restless.

Alright, honestly, I used to chase projects every day, and as a result, I lost everything in two months. Now I realize that this theory is correct. Wait, wait, wait, it's easy to say but hard to do. Sometimes, watching others make money really triggers that FOMO. That's the difference, right? Retail investors can't handle that much patience. If there's no movement for an hour, they start to get itchy. I've tried to change now. Watching the market less actually earns me more, it's terrifying when you think about it. Isn't there a saying that the money you make often comes from the trades you don't make?

That's right, I was just too frequent. Trading five projects in a day is really a suicidal move. After waiting three months, I finally caught a wave. It's much more satisfying than buying randomly before. The days I hold back from acting are even harder than the trading itself.
