Ordinary people really don’t need to study short-term trading every day.
You think your opponent is Old Wang next door—but in fact, on the other side of the table are the exchange, huge whales, market makers, and a whole bunch of professional quantitative teams.
You race machines for speed, you race big funds for information, and in the end you still have to pay fees first.
The higher the frequency, the more often you make mistakes—and the more fees you pay.
And then there are those KOLs who draw resistance levels and support levels every day, telling you what’s full here and what’s empty there in the candles.
If they were really that amazing, they’d already be quietly making money.
With smaller capital, the most common mistake ordinary people make is trying to rapidly grow their principal by using high leverage.
With 10,000 as the principal, they can’t help but try to produce 1,000,000 in returns.
In the end, the principal doesn’t grow—first it’s the leverage that wipes out the account.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the real advantage ordinary people have is:
Fewer trades, lower leverage, DCA, and holding long term.
If your capital is small, find ways to earn more principal in real life.
Don’t expect 100x leverage to solve poverty.
What it amplifies is never just returns.
It also amplifies your greed and your mistakes.
