It’s been less than ten days since I entered the space, and I’ve already been consistently profitable in spot trading. Sounds good, but when I looked closer, I realized I’ve made over 300 trades—that number honestly gave me chills.

I actually made money during last night’s big market move, but why isn’t the profit in my hands as much as I expected? After reviewing, I realized the problem is that I haven’t learned how to use leverage properly. Frequent trading means the time cost is extremely high—behind those 300+ trades is my excessive trial and error in the market.

With volatility like $BTC and $ETH, I still got burned badly going back and forth—in the end, it comes down to unstable mentality, lack of skill, and a shallow understanding of the market. This month, I need to change my spot trading approach, get rid of greed, and learn to take profits when they’re there.

It’s enough to steadily increase my income a little each day; there’s no need to go for big wins every time. Looks like this week will be a key period for me to adjust my strategy.
