Over the past two years, the more I stay up late, the more I realize that trading strategies are actually trading sleep for volatility. Grid/DCA strategies, to put it simply, rely on probability: not expecting to hit the jackpot in one shot, but allowing yourself to turn off the lights and sleep peacefully, waking up the next day without a pounding heart. Going all-in on one trade isn't impossible, but you have to be okay with “possibly staying awake all night,” and withstand the regret if the market moves in the opposite direction.
Recently, before and after that mainstream public chain's upgrade/maintenance, everyone in the group was speculating whether ecosystem projects would migrate. Seeing that, I just don’t want to heavily bet on such events anymore… Whether they migrate or not is inherently uncertain; the odds look attractive, but in reality, it’s more about emotional fluctuations. Anyway, I still prefer grid + DCA—won’t make the biggest gains, but at least I can sleep like a human. Clearly understand the risks, taking it slow is also fine.
