There’s a dumb way to trade without staring at the screen, and it actually exists.
People often ask me: Is there a way to trade without guessing the market and without constantly watching the charts?
Yes, and it’s super simple.
Over the years, I’ve found that most traders lose not because they lack skills, but because they’re too anxious.
When prices rise, they fear missing out and jump in; when prices drop, they worry about a rebound and rush to buy.
As a result, they end up chasing at the peak and buying mid-way down, getting hit from both sides.
So, I set three rules for myself:
1. No chasing pumps
When others flaunt their gains, don’t rush in; you’re likely just picking up their bags. Real opportunities don’t just appear for a few minutes; it’s much safer to enter a bit late than to chase the highs.
2. No full positions
No matter how bullish you feel, always keep some dry powder. The biggest issue with being fully invested isn’t just losing money; it’s missing out on new opportunities because you’re out of ammo. Keeping some positions allows you to exit if you’re wrong and add if you’re right.
3. Stay put during sideways markets
Most losses don’t happen during major movements, but rather in stagnant periods. When you get fidgety, bored, or reluctant to stay in cash, you end up trading back and forth without making gains, while racking up fees.
The longer I trade, the more I believe in one truth: the actual time for making money is quite limited.
Most of the time, you’re just waiting. Waiting for trends, waiting for positions, waiting for your chance.
The market is always there, and opportunities come more than once.
Be a bit steadier, a bit slower, and your money will stick around.
I’m Wang, I don’t discuss theory; I only talk about what’s actionable. If you get stuck in a trade, hit me up to sort out your strategy.
