Why I started to intentionally reduce trading at 'mid-price levels'
Reviewing the past 100 orders, I specifically counted:
When opening positions near support/resistance levels, the risk-reward ratio is generally still visible;
When opening positions randomly in the middle of the price range, it has almost been 'random fluctuations → transaction fee players' in the long term.
The numbers are quite honest:
Trades at mid-price levels accounted for 60% of my entry frequency but contributed to less than 20% of my profits, while consuming a lot of time and energy.
So for the next month, the experiment I set for myself is:
Only allow trades at the 'edges' — close to key support/resistance/breakout points,
While treating the middle positions as just watching the show.
I want to see if, when I cut off the 'ineffective areas',
Will the account curve start to look cleaner.
