Lately, I’ve been itching to chase the rally. The moment I see the K-line chart, I want to add to my position—but now I’ll pause for two minutes first and ask myself: what new information did I actually get, or am I just being pushed around by emotions? To put it simply, emotions are the best at lying to you, especially that pressure when price is rising—“If I don’t buy now, I’ll miss out.”

These past two days, everyone’s been talking about expectations for rate cuts, the US dollar index moving up and down together with risk assets—I’ve been following that too, but I don’t dare treat macro as a protective charm… No matter how right the macro analysis sounds, once contract permissions are enabled and the team switches to a different coin, you’ll get rugged just as clearly.

My current “backup” is redundancy in how I operate: split positions into smaller chunks, enter in batches, and before anything else, check the contracts and permissions that I need to verify. Chasing the rally is fine, but don’t treat emotions as information—because I’ve been taught a few times already, and I don’t want to pay tuition again.
