Recently, I found that things like grid trading/DCA, to put it simply, are about trading "being able to sleep" for "earning a little less but avoiding a blow-up." I run a small grid, and when the price fluctuates a couple of times up and down, I’m okay; at most, I just feel a bit distressed about the transaction fees. On the other hand, with a full-blown martingale strategy, winning feels incredibly satisfying, but losing means waking up in the middle of the night to check your phone, with your heartbeat more accurate than an alarm clock… It’s both funny and frustrating.

As for that "compound yield" staking method, which has recently been criticized as a "layered doll," I can understand: stacking layers makes the account look good on paper, but it actually makes you more anxious. Now I prefer: slowly stacking the core position with DCA, and lightly hedging outside with perpetuals/options, so I don’t take sleep as collateral. If I lose, I just record it; that’s how I’ll do it for now.
