I find that unrealized losses are really more tormenting than unrealized gains… When I’m making paper profits, I can still pretend to be calm, but as soon as I lose a little, I start refreshing repeatedly, with my mind full of “Should I cut?” “Will it go even deeper?” Basically, it’s not about the money, it’s the uncertainty that’s biting at me. I can’t sleep when I’m losing, but when I’m making money, I’m afraid I’ll wake up and see it all gone.



Recently, there’s been a flood of narratives about AI Agents and automated trading everywhere, sounding pretty good, but honestly I care more about: what permissions did it take from me, what authorizations did I sign, and whether someone could easily snatch it away. Many people chase after “intelligence,” but my risk-averse self just wants to understand the safety first… Otherwise, one loss and I’ll be paying the insomnia tax later.

If I had paid less attention to the K-line back then, or reduced my position earlier, I might not be so anxious now. But anyway, this is just how I am—prefer to earn a little less than risk losing my sleep. That’s it for now.
