These past two days, memes have been stirring up again, and I’ve got an itch to jump in. The moment I open perpetual contracts and I see the funding rate drifting up in an outrageous way, with open interest climbing like crazy, all that’s left in my head is, “Just go for one more push”… and then I start messing around. To put it plainly, behind all the excitement, you really need to learn how to “stop”: first, stop checking the K-line chart, pause for two minutes to figure out whether I’m actually trading or just gambling.

My stop-loss is set in a very crude way right now: before entering, I write down, “If I’m at most down to this point, I’ll stop and take a week off,” and when the time comes, I just press the button—no arguing with myself. Lately, cross-chain bridges have been stolen again, and oracles have also posted abnormal quotes. Everyone is there saying “wait for confirmation,” and I’ve learned too: if there’s no confirmation, I stop and watch—I don’t force it. Anyway, with my emotions on a rollercoaster, surviving doesn’t depend on judgment; it depends on whether I can stop.
