Recently, I've been watching whale addresses until my eyes hurt... But honestly, before copying trades, I always think for a second: Are they building a position, or are they hedging/arbitraging? Some large traders buy on one side while opening a reverse position; their net position isn't as "all-in" as you might think. As a result, retail traders rush in, and it turns into a relay.
My current small habit to prevent impulsiveness is: when I see a sudden influx of funds on the chain, I first fold my umbrella halfway—only place small orders, and after half an hour, check whether stablecoins are still flowing in or flowing back to exchanges; I also take a quick look to see if someone is testing network points again, shouting about "will the mainnet issue tokens," that kind of hype. When emotions run high, it's easy to get carried away. Anyway, better to miss out on some, than to get excited and go all-in, then stare blankly at traffic lights.
