Lately, I've been struggling again between grid/DCA and going all-in on one trade to see which suits me better, given that I have shallow sleep. Honestly, going all-in is definitely exciting; the moment I enter, my heart really races. Then, as the price jitters, I start imagining all kinds of scenarios. Waking up in the middle of the night, the first thing I do is grab my phone to check... Grid/DCA feels like slicing emotions into pieces, reducing the "gambler's feeling," but the downside is that you have to accept that it’s slow, and you might get worn down in the oscillations.
In the group these days, there's been repeated discussions about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various rumors about "losing the peg." I realize my biggest annoyance isn't whether the news is true or false, but that it forces you to make last-minute decisions: whether to clear, switch, or run. Ironically, the more these situations arise, the more I want to make my strategy like a daily-use product: automated, predictable, and able to withstand the worst-case scenario.
My partner also complained about me: "This isn't investing, you're just reading horror stories before bed." Fine... I'll just cut my position smaller; being able to sleep is better than anything.
