Year-end market stagnation has led to a deadlock, with many traders experiencing the same dilemma. Frequent monitoring and repeated position adjustments often result in the account remaining stagnant, with transaction fees becoming the largest contributor to profits.

This phenomenon reflects the current market characteristics: a lack of clear directional volatility and few trading opportunities. Many people were full of expectations for the Q4 market at the beginning of the year, but as the year-end approaches, the anticipated rebound has yet to materialize.

From a trading psychology perspective, this is precisely a test of patience. Frequent trading often stems from anxiety, but in a stagnant market, the cost of overtrading is greatest. Some traders are beginning to realize that instead of blindly fiddling around, it’s better to adjust their mindset and wait for genuine market opportunities. During periods of market stagnation, controlling risk and reducing trading frequency may actually be a wiser choice.

Transaction fees eat up all the profits, this has been my real situation recently... Frequent trading really ends up hurting oneself, it seems I need to learn to hold steady. The expectations at the beginning of the year are now just a joke, what about the rebound? It's gone. Instead of obsessively watching the market every day with anxiety, it's better to stay calm and wait for opportunities. There's nothing wrong with that. Basically, it's a mental breakdown, can't control my hands.

nah this is just mempool noise masquerading as market analysis... real alpha hunters know sideways action is where spreads widen, not where you panic trade. fees eating your stack? that's amateur hour, should've optimized your transaction timing instead of rage-clicking like some retail degenerate.

The fee actually became the biggest profit. That hits home; it's exactly what I've experienced over the past few months.

Transaction fees have become the biggest winner, this meme is really hilarious This market is testing patience, see who can hold back from moving Instead of messing around every day, it's better to lie flat and wait for the opportunity The expectations at the beginning of the year have now become jokes, got it It's basically a lack of direction; blind trading only sends money to the exchange The stagnation period is the biggest test, true experts are all resting Anxious trading is the root of all evil, it must be changed Frequent position adjustments are like self-destructive behavior, don’t ask me how I know The most profitable trading right now is not trading

Fees are the biggest profit haha, this sentence is really harsh, the deadlock at the end of the year is really exhausting. Oh my god, frequently adjusting positions is just giving money to the exchange, wake up everyone. Lying flat might really be the optimal solution, let's see how things go next year.
