I found that the biggest difference between grid/DCA and going all-in isn’t profit—it’s sleep quality... For someone like me who easily gets carried away at night, the moment I go all-in, I start fixating on those few “needles” on the order book. When the funding rate suddenly jumps, my heart jumps too. We clearly agreed on “just take a quick look,” but by the time I realize it, it’s already dawn.

Grid/DCA, to put it simply, is like installing a speed limiter for yourself: you trade in batches and go slowly. Even if you end up losing, it doesn’t feel like you’ve been punched straight through. Of course, there are drawbacks too—when the market truly turns into a one-way street, you’ll start doubting everything. Your hands get itchy, and you want to turn off the grid and rush in directly.

Recently, Meme and celebrity call-outs have triggered another round of attention rotation. I’m really inclined to believe the old players who tell newcomers not to catch the last baton... Anyway, what I care about more now is whether I can actually fall asleep. Earning a little less is fine—as long as I’m not scared awake in the middle of the night.
