I’ve realized whether grid/DCA really suits me or not—the core isn’t profit, it’s whether I can actually fall asleep. Grid trading is like paying emotions in installments; even if the market acts crazy, I can still pretend, “I’m executing a strategy.” One big push feels even more like I’m throwing a tantrum at myself—sure, it’s satisfying in the moment, but staying up late watching open positions and funding rates bouncing around makes my heart race too, and I’m drained when I wake up the next day.

Recently, I’ve been hearing rumors from some region that taxes are being adjusted and compliance is being tightened and loosened in waves. To be honest, it directly affects my expectations for depositing and withdrawing funds: once that kind of uncertainty that “my money is stuck on the way” shows up, I’m even more likely to get impulsive and think, “Just end it with one shot already.” Forget it—plainly put, for someone like me, who rides an emotional rollercoaster, if I want to live a bit longer, grid/DCA is still a better match for sleep. When I feel like going all-in, I should first put my phone farther away; otherwise, if I lose money, I’ll have to stop for a week.
