I’m increasingly feeling that with grid/DCA strategies, the core isn’t “making more money,” but rather “being able to sleep peacefully.” If watching the candlestick chart makes your heart race every time it dips, then even if your trade is correct in direction, it’s still stressful—waking up in the middle of the night to check your phone... Conversely, those who can withstand drawdowns and admit mistakes quickly find that a single trade is actually less trouble, with less fuss.

It’s even more obvious in NFT trading—the liquidity behind the floor price is so thin it’s like paper. No matter how beautifully you set your grid, you might not even get a fill, or you might get eaten up in one go and think “the pullback is over.” Recently, I’ve been complaining about the lag in on-chain data tools and tagging systems, and I feel the same: looking at tags can easily lead to being manipulated, especially if you treat them as “signals” for quick trades, which makes your mindset more prone to blowups.

Anyway, my own standard is pretty simple: can I turn off the screen and go to sleep? If yes, then keep going; if not, then reduce. That’s all for now, I’m off to work.
