These days, meme trading has become lively again, with the group chatting and shouting "Narrative is coming."
I feel itchy to act, but what I want more is to set my stop-loss properly first… Honestly, I'm not afraid of volatility; I'm afraid that after getting caught up, I treat the stop-loss as a decoration.
I made a "version update" for myself: v1, when I see a rally, I want to chase; v2, I first ask myself if a 10% reversal would make me start adding to my position and tough it out; if the answer is yes, then I simply don't trade.
The same applies to occasional perpetual contracts trading—don't break the position curve; reputation is more important.
Additionally, recently retail traders have been complaining about miner/validator income and MEV causing unfair ordering, which I also feel strongly about: when you feel like you've been "cut in line," you're more likely to emotionally leverage up to try to catch up…
Anyway, my current approach is to keep smaller positions, set stop-losses before trading, and accept it when triggered—don't mistake luck for skill.
That's it for now.
