I have been in forex and stock market for more than 10 years

I've been in the stock market more or less since 1999 (never traded forex), and one major thing I've learned is that the more active trading I do, the more I lose. I'm just not that good at it, plus transaction fees eat away at profits. I've become a buy-and-hold investor in the stock market and in crypto as well.

Many people do keep a trading journal but I have never done that.

I've never done that either, and I'm not sure what a trading journal is supposed to accomplish. We're in the age where all your trades are compiled and at your fingertips in a heartbeat. I do see the benefits of keeping a journal in general, for thoughts about things and so forth (and I do this, but not to benefit myself in trading), but I'm not sure how it helps traders.

From the little crypto trading I've done, I have learned that you have to be patient, even when the market swings in the opposite direction than where you want it to go. There were quite a few sell orders I could have had filled successfully if I'd just given it more time. For me, it's best to place an order and then kind of walk away from it for a while...but that's something I have a very hard time doing, which is why I don't trade all that much.
