I find myself much more sensitive to unrealized losses than unrealized gains: when I make a profit, at most I feel a bit happier; when I lose, my mind automatically starts writing a script, the more I think about it, the more I can't sleep, even if the position isn't actually large. To put it simply, it's not about how much money I lost, but the uncertainty of "will I keep losing" that tortures me.
In the past two days, I've seen everyone interpret ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and coin prices as being linked, and it all sounds very reasonable, but the more I look, the easier it is to let my emotions take over. A slight tremor in my hand makes me want to add or cut positions. Later, I simply set alerts for some key price levels and locked in single-trade limits, which actually made me feel a bit more relaxed: it's not that I don't watch the market, but I know that even if I act foolishly in the middle of the night, I can't blow up my account... just survive first.
