These past few days, I've been watching the floor and order wall of a few NFTs,
Even though the fluctuations aren't big, that tiny unrealized loss is more eye-catching,
Before bed, my mind kept replaying automatically: should I reduce my position,
Should I move it to a thicker buy wall...
The unrealized profit instead easily makes me think it's just "what should already be there."
Honestly, the part that's losing looks like a red dot stuck on the screen,
The more I try to ignore it, the more glaring it becomes.
What's more annoying is that feeling on-chain that "it's not your bid price that's wrong, it's the order ranking pushing you out,"
Recently, everyone’s been complaining about validator income and MEV, and I can empathize:
You think you're playing a liquidity game, but you also have to accept the reality of others cutting in line first.
So, unrealized losses are no longer just about money, but also a noise of "I have no sense of control."
What I fear most isn't actually missing opportunities,
It's that moment when I clearly set discipline but break it temporarily.
Anyway, right now, I'm just watching two things:
Whether the structure of the order wall has changed,
And whether I want to use impulsiveness to erase discomfort again.
That's all for now.
