Checking your position too often every 5 minutes? That's a trap that keeps your account constantly in the red.
A simple reason: when your eyes keep watching the chart move, emotions also fluctuate. No wonder you're always losing.
Traders who make big profits focus on one thing—discipline and accurate execution. They have a plan and stick to it. Not changing strategies out of panic when they see red candles.
Follow your game plan. Most importantly: don't abandon that plan just because the price moves temporarily. Over time, profits will come naturally from traders who are truly disciplined.
Discipline is indeed tough. But that's the difference between winners and losers in this market.

To be honest, I've also been caught off guard by checking every 5 minutes. It was truly a costly lesson.

To be honest, I used to do the same when I was impulsive, clicking every 5 minutes, and my mindset would completely collapse. Now I've learned to close my eyes, and I actually make more comfortable profits.

That's right, I was the guy who got liquidated by the "5-minute check method" like that.

To be honest, refreshing every 5 minutes is really a suicidal trading method.
That being said, this is exactly why I never look at candlestick charts. When I don't see it, I don't worry about it, and my sleep quality actually improves.
Talking about theory is easy; very few people can remain unmoved like a mountain in real trading.

Honestly, checking the charts every 5 minutes is already quite restrained haha

You're so right. I've lost a lot like that before... watching the market all day until my eyes hurt.

That's right, I'm the one who checks the K-line every 5 minutes, and then my account crashes.

That's right, I used to check every 5 minutes, but the more I looked, the more my mindset collapsed.

Really, I always mess up like this... Check every 5 minutes, and then start to doubt myself.
