I am increasingly feeling that the difference between grid/DCA and a one-shot trade is actually how many hours you want to sleep... The thrill of a one-shot trade is real, the direction is shouted very firmly, but when volatility hits, your hands are more honest than your mouth, stop-loss points need to be hit quickly, and you can even wake yourself up from sleeping.
Grid/DCA is like putting your emotions in a cage, not expecting to get rich overnight, at least not treating every spike as the end of the world.
Recently, watching new L1/L2 projects that incentivize pulling TVL, old users complain "mining, selling," which is pretty much like the aftereffects of a one-shot trade: the excitement belongs to others, and you're left only with post-mortem analysis.
Anyway, I care more now about whether my position can let me turn off the market page, otherwise no matter how much logic I have, it's useless.
