I’m increasingly feeling that grid/DCA is like installing a “sleep switch” for myself—at least my position, my add-to-position points, and my stop-loss line are all laid out there, so I won’t get jolted awake in the middle of the night by a pinprick. A YOLO-all-in can feel great, but let’s be honest: you’re treating emotions like leverage, and after you’ve used leverage, you’re going to have to repay what you borrowed. Especially if you’ve opened margin or taken out loans—your liquidation line is watching you; if your hand even trembles a little, the system will immediately correct you.

These past couple of days, the group has been arguing again about privacy coins and that whole coin-mixing setup, as well as the compliance boundaries. In the end, it always comes back to the same question: can you withstand the worst-case scenario? Trading is the same way. I first ask myself, “If it drops to here, can I still sleep?” If I can’t sleep, then don’t play at being brave. Anyway, I’d rather make a little less, and keep an escape route.
