#ETH “Trading is the same as hunting: if the hunter doesn’t fire, he only misses a prey—” means that choosing not to take a trade may mean missing an opportunity, but it does not directly cost you money. Like a hunter who keeps his ammunition by waiting, a trader preserves capital by staying patient when the setup is unclear.

In contrast, taking impulsive or poorly planned trades can waste capital and expose you to larger losses. The message is that missed trades are usually recoverable, while reckless trading can do far more damage—so discipline and risk control matter more than trying to catch every move.
