Many people think that short-term trading in and out is very safe, but in fact, the most damaging aspect is this kind of play.
The longer you watch the market, the itchier your hands get, and the more likely you are to increase your positions. Once a trade goes against you, your mind immediately changes—not trading, but thinking about "trying to make it back."
For example, this trade of mine, STO, is actually very simple; it’s not just a random short. It had been continuously rising for a while, the sentiment was starting to heat up, and the order book was getting a bit resistant, so I tried to short around 0.60. It wasn’t about going in heavily right away, but rather confirming there were signs of weakness before adding to the position.
In the end, I exited around 0.57, took some profit and left, not being greedy.
It may look like you made over 2000 U, but the key point is not how much you made on this single trade, but that the entire process was calm and rhythmical.
Many people can't achieve this; they add to losses and drift with profits. In the end, it’s not the market that kills you, but you disrupting your own rhythm.
In short-term trading, to put it plainly, it’s not about technique; it’s whether you can keep your hands steady. If you can stay steady, there are opportunities every day; if you can't, even the best market conditions are useless.
