Someone asked me, “Is grid/DCA too timid? Wouldn’t it be easier just to go all-in?” I usually start by asking: Do you want profits, or do you just want to sleep well? Grid and DCA, put simply, are about breaking your emotions into pieces—leaving yourself some room for both upswings and downswings. Going all-in is more like tying your judgment and luck together: if you win, it feels great; if you lose, you start refreshing the candlestick chart in the middle of the night looking for reasons.
Lately, I’ve also been criticized along with that whole “profit stacking” approach—re-staking and shared security—and I can understand why. Stacking things layer by layer, the numbers look beautiful, but in my heart there’s always this question: where exactly is the risk hiding? Anyway, I value “clear structure” more right now. I’d rather make a little less than rely on willpower and forced sleep to power through.
You say, “Young people should go for it”… Yeah, don’t rush. I just think that position management that suits you is more of a long-term plan than any kind of narrative. That’s it for now.
