Just now, I got the itch again and wanted to chase a green-to-red candlestick (K-line); my mouse was almost at the market price, but I forcibly stopped: is it because I’m seeing new information, or did a few lines in the group chat like “it’s about to take off again” ignite my emotions? To put it simply, emotions are the best at disguising themselves as judgment— the more anxious I feel, the more I think, “If I don’t act now, I’ll miss out.” So I split my position into smaller parts: I first placed a limit order with a wildly high price; if it fills, it’s fate. If it doesn’t, I’ll treat it as a way to cool myself down.

Recently, over on L2, they’ve been bickering every day about TPS, fees, and who has the stronger subsidies. It looks pretty lively, but being lively doesn’t mean I should go chase. If subsidies stop, who knows what’ll happen… Anyway, I’d rather miss out now than get “educated” by slippage and impulsiveness. What I learned isn’t a technique—it’s taking emotions out of the hands that place orders first.
