The moment I’m least reasonable is during those few hours of unrealized losses: even though my position isn’t big, my brain automatically turns it into “What if it keeps collapsing all the way,” then I start refreshing repeatedly, calculating the worst case, and even before bed I’m thinking about whether I should cut. When I’m in unrealized gains, I can also easily treat it as “I was supposed to profit anyway,” and I’m even too lazy to look—at most I’ll screenshot it and just send an emoji and move on… To put it bluntly, losses in my emotions feel like a thorn: once it stabs you, it just keeps hurting. Lately the funding rate has been a bit extreme again—within the group people argue about whether there will be a reversal or whether it’s still continuing to squeeze the bubble, and I don’t really have any conclusion. So the only thing I can do is honestly keep staring at width and correlation: once most of the assets move down together, that discomfort is even more real—it’s not some coin putting on a show. Anyway, the way I handle it now is to write down my stop-loss / position-reduction conditions first, so that the version of me at midnight doesn’t end up acting as a trader—too impulsive.
