A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video by Kosta Ouzas discussing trading behavior and execution. Ouzas contrasts buy-and-hold with active trade execution, warns that emotional reactions (selling during drawdowns) affect realized returns, and emphasizes taking quick profits and executing base orders when the market moves with the trade.
If someone was to buy and hold and sell, well, they've just lost 16%. So you can't compare. Well, if I just hold Bitcoin for 10 years, I'll make more money. Well, yeah, but you might also sell it when the market dumps 30% because you get scared. There's a lot of things to think about. But what we're able to do, firstly, as you can see here, if the market goes with us, it's very easy to take profits. We enter a trade, the market goes up, we take a profit. Another example here we have goes a little bit against us. What we're doing is executing. Yeah. Here's a perfect example. Base order, take profit. Right. Market goes up, we just make money because it's easy. Base order profit. Base order profit.
