Bitcoin and Ethereum markets move constantly, but here's the thing—most of it is just noise. The market is literally designed to pull you in at the worst times, exhaust your patience, and get you to exit at the bottom. Chasing every price swing is a losing game. When you try to trade everything, you're basically letting the market dictate your decisions instead of having a real strategy. The smarter play? Filter out the noise, stick to your plan, and accept that you'll miss some moves. That's fine. Missing a few trades beats getting liquidated or panic-selling after losses. Real winners aren't the ones glued to charts 24/7—they're the ones who know when NOT to trade.

That's right, that's exactly what I'm doing now. I toss my phone aside; anyway, watching the market is just like stabbing myself with a knife.

That's right, I am the one who was driven to liquidation by this kind of noise, a painful lesson. --- Staring at the market every day is indeed a deadly disease; it can drive you crazy even more than losses themselves. --- The key is to know not to trade, but I can't do that... --- Missing the market doesn't hurt me; being forced to liquidate is what really means there's no hope. --- Stick to the plan? My plan is to buy the dip as soon as the next 5-minute chart hits a new high, haha. --- It sounds right, but when the moment really comes, who can hold on? Easy to say. --- I have a bunch of friends who got liquidated, but I haven't seen anyone who has truly held on until now.

That's right, I've been burned by this logic too many times... Really, watching the market 24/7 is a suicidal trade. --- The group of people staying up late watching charts, nine out of ten get liquidated, this is something we have to admit. --- The hardest part isn't finding good opportunities, it's damn knowing when not to move... --- There is indeed a lot of noise, but I still can't change this habit, haha. --- Filtering noise? I'll just turn off the candlestick chart and try... --- Winning isn't about not trading, it's about knowing when to shut up, I need to learn this. --- Every time I say I will stick to the plan, then a wave of volatility makes me change my mind—who hasn't been through that. --- Compared to missing out on some gains, getting liquidated is still a bit more comfortable...
