📉 Overtrading: A Silent Performance Killer

Overtrading is often driven by impatience rather than opportunity. After gains, confidence rises; after losses, the urge to recover intensifies. Both lead to unnecessary trades. Excessive activity increases costs, weakens discipline, and amplifies errors, even in stable market conditions. Most losses stem not from poor ideas, but from too many low-conviction decisions. In investing, restraint is a skill. Capital compounds when activity is selective, not frequent.
