Lately, there's been a lot of arguing in the group about whether the extreme funding rate is a reversal or just a bubble being squeezed further. My first thought isn't about the direction; it's "I haven't organized this week's trading records yet"... End of the year really drives me crazy. To be honest, don't expect to see the statements again in December; with on-chain data, exchanges, and wallets going back and forth, even I can't explain it clearly.
I'm a bit old-fashioned now: every time I make a large position change or deposit/withdraw funds, I just take a screenshot, plus export a record of the exchange transactions and upload it to the cloud drive, naming the file with the date and what I did; for on-chain transfers, I note the transaction hash and the counterparty address, with comments like "fee," "transfer to cold wallet," or "repayment" in plain language. I also keep records of losing positions, so that when the time comes, I won't be left with only emotions and no evidence... Anyway, I prefer to be a bit more troublesome rather than be tortured by a bunch of small trades that keep me awake at night.
