Tonight's review went on until almost dawn again, and I realized that what really affects my sleep isn't losing a bit less profit, but the floating losses hanging there, which my brain automatically treats as "already lost," and my heartbeat speeds up accordingly;
On the other hand, floating gains are more likely to be seen as "not pocketed yet, so it doesn't count," basically, losses are psychologically stickier and noisier.
Others think I watch the market to catch every upward move, but in reality, I'm more often trying to prevent my emotions from spiraling out of control and adding positions recklessly.
Recently, the airdrop season feels similar—on one side, task platforms are becoming more strict with anti-witch measures, and on the other, the points system is squeezing the "profit hunters" like clocking in at work...
But as long as there's uncertainty like "this account might be judged as a witch," the anxiety is more torturous than earning a few more points.
Anyway, my current approach is: write losses into the plan first, hold if I can accept it, cut immediately if I can't, and don't leave it for myself in the early morning to replay and overthink.
