That little red number on unrealized losses really can be more frustrating than unrealized gains. Clearly, it's still "not realized," but the mind automatically treats the loss as if it has already happened, then starts reviewing, finding reasons, or even thinking about adding to the position in the middle of the night to erase it... On the other hand, I often just think "Hmm, it's okay," and go to sleep when it’s unrealized profit. Basically, it's due to loss aversion: the pain of a small loss is stronger than the thrill of a small gain, and it’s more sticky.

My own simple methods are twofold: first, before entering a position, I write down "Am I willing to accept the worst-case scenario?" If not, I don’t open the position; second, I significantly reduce the frequency of monitoring, and let stop-loss/stop-profit orders handle it, otherwise emotions will keep being fed.

Recently, there’s a bunch of narratives about AI Agents doing automatic trading and on-chain interactions, sounding like they can shield you from emotions, but the safety details (permissions, signatures, whether they can be revoked at any time) are not carefully considered, which actually makes anxiety worse: if you lose money, you still don’t know who pressed the button. For now, even a cat is more reassuring than a candlestick chart.
