I'm not trying to spoil the party, but if after hundreds of years of traditional trading history people still haven't figured out how to deal with emotions, they never will.

Markets consist of 90% emotion based traders, 5% skilled traders, 5% market makers not needing anything other than their capital and technological advantage to profit. The percentages are rough numbers since it can't be measured precisely, but it is somewhere along these percentages. Average joe type of people just need to accept that they inherently are destined to lose.

The only way for average joe people to profit is by luck.

I won't even get myself out of this. I am inside of those 90% even though trading is my sideline. I am using my profits from trading just for the sake of additional allowance. Maybe that is still purely a reason, I don't know. But the idea is I am not getting the most of my profit. I ain't getting much time to quantify those percentages into solid increases of my portfolio.

Reduce the time spent watching the price of coins you keep, if you regularly watch them, you will worry and stress. So you will not be patient.

Good idea, but you can never avoid the guts to take a gamble looking at the price. Previously, I was satisfied by the burst increase of BTC from 6.5 or 6.7 to 7.4k USD/BTC. It is unavoidable, but a good discipline to try though.
