In the evening, I reviewed the funding rate and it started to become extreme again. A bunch of people in the group were shouting, "If you're not taking the other side, what are you waiting for?" Others think that going against the trend at such times is like picking up free money. In reality, I'm more afraid that volatility will whip my stop-loss back and forth, turning it into a sieve—ultimately winning the market direction but losing to emotions.

I usually have two options: either take a small position to hedge, set a very tight stop-loss, and accept the hit when it happens; or simply hide and wait until the funding rate returns to normal. Honestly, extreme funding rates are more like a reminder that "the market is excited," not a reward for me.

By the way, the recent heated debate over privacy coins/mixing coins and their compliance boundaries also feels similar: everyone arguing passionately, but in the end, what really matters is what risks your own account can bear. Anyway, I’d rather miss out than be forced to review why I didn’t hold the next day. That’s all for now.
