I've been lurking in the group for a long time, but I still can't help but say: grid/DCA and a single trade, to be honest, it's not about choosing a strategy, it's about whether you can fall asleep. If you see a little pullback and get itchy, or wake up in the middle of the night to check the K-line, then don't force that trade; winning is tiring, losing is even worse. The advantage of grid and DCA is that they delegate the question of "Should I buy or sell now" to rules, reducing emotions, and at least preventing daily arguments with yourself.
Recently, everyone has been talking about rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and then risk assets surprisingly still move together—up and down together... This kind of macro narrative switch is pretty quick. If you rely on a heavy position to nail the rhythm, the pressure will be even greater. Anyway, my own principle is: don’t put your living expenses into positions, only slowly build up the part you can withstand volatility; the lighthouse doesn’t guarantee to lead the way, only to prevent capsizing.
