I find that what I fear most is not losing money, but the words "floating loss" hanging there.
When there's a paper profit, I treat it as if it doesn't exist, and I even think "Don't get carried away, pullbacks are normal";
but once there's a floating loss, even if it's not large, my mind automatically fills in the worst case: Did I set the stop-loss points properly?
Is the correlation of my positions collapsing together? And the more I think about it, the more I can't sleep, even though nothing has actually happened.
To put it simply, floating loss is like a reminder that "I overlooked the risks," which is more painful than the loss itself.
Recently, I've been looking at the narrative around modularization and the DA layer, developers are ecstatic, but users look confused,
and I unconsciously project this "I don't understand" uncertainty onto my positions... which makes it even more annoying.
What I need to be reminded of is: a paper profit doesn't equal a real-world judgment,
first review the correlation and maximum drawdown according to the plan, and don't take emotions as signals.
That's all for tonight, now I need to clarify the contingency plan.
