I find my sensitivity to floating losses really outrageous: when I have a paper profit, I’m just in a better mood, glance at it twice and forget about it;
Once I have a floating loss, even if the amount isn’t big, my mind automatically magnifies it into “Did I judge wrong?” “Will I lose more and more?” I can wake up in the middle of the night to check.
Honestly, I default to thinking that profits are “luck,” but losses feel like “responsibility,” the more I try to shake it off, the harder it is, like insomnia or stomach pain.
Recently, with the stacking of yield from pledge and shared security being called a “set of dolls,” I also resonate a bit: the returns look very beautiful, but adding one more layer of structure gives me one more reason I can’t sleep.
Anyway, when the market heats up, I just reduce my positions a bit; earning less is fine, at least I can sleep soundly.
