Overtrading doesn’t feel dangerous that’s why it destroys your portfolio.

It disguises itself as “work ethic,” when it’s really just impatience with an addiction to clicking buttons.

Most traders don’t lose because their ideas are terrible, they lose because they can’t stop touching the screen.

Green candle? They chase.
Red candle? They panic.
Sideways market? They get bored and invent trades.

Then they wonder why their balance keeps shrinking while the market keeps moving. Overtrading quietly taxes you in fees, bad entries, emotional decisions and broken confidence. One bad click doesn’t kill you. A thousand small ones do.

I’ve done it. Everyone who lasts in this industry has done it. It feels productive. It feels involved. It feels like control. It isn’t. Real edge looks boring.

It’s waiting.
It’s planning.
It’s letting alerts do the watching.
It’s missing moves without spiraling.

The best trades usually come after long periods of doing nothing. One clean, well planned position will outperform ten forced ones almost every time. Crypto never runs out of opportunities, but accounts run out of discipline and money.

If you can learn to sit on your hands, you’ll sit on more profit. Trade less, think more, last longer.
