I didn’t sleep well again last night. I was staring at that one-sided extreme in the funding rate, and my hands were itching: should I go take a bite off the other side’s book, or just stay away so I don’t make things worse for myself? To be blunt, I’m more afraid now that even if I’m right about the direction, volatility will pierce right through it. So even if I want to go against the trend, I only dare to use a small position size with especially tight stop-losses. Before entering, I think through the worst-case scenario—otherwise once emotions get the better of me, I’ll add to my position.

Lately, the whole internet rushes in whenever memes and celebrities call—attention rotation is moving too fast. I truly believe what the old hands tell the newcomers: don’t catch the last wave… Someone like me who’s built for insomnia can’t handle it either. I’m tired, but I’m still here. Today I’ll just move less—if I can avoid it, I will.
