I find that whether grid/DCA is really good or not, the core isn't profit, it's whether I can sleep well or not.
Like me, as soon as I see the pool depth thinning or the slippage curve steepening, I get itchy to withdraw, and if someone gives me a "one-shot" order, I’ll keep opening the market to see if big players are repositioning...
Anyway, I can't handle it.
Recently, the funding rate has been extreme again, and the group is arguing whether it's a reversal or just continuing to pump the bubble.
Honestly, the most easy to get caught up in these times: you think you're catching a trend, but you're actually wrestling with your emotions.
I prefer to use small positions with DCA/grid to grind, keep some bullets, and shrink when liquidity looks off.
What I don't regret is: choosing a method that suits my personality better, even if it earns less, at least I sleep soundly.
Everyone has their own rhythm, and there's really no need to prove who's braver.
