I used to love "one-shot" trading, to be honest, it was just about saving effort. After opening a position, I’d just tap my phone, and then wake up at 2 a.m. to check the K-line chart. The more I looked, the more anxious I got… Now I prefer grid/DCA strategies instead. Whether I make money or not, I put that aside for now—at least my heartbeat can slow down.
Especially recently, the group has been going crazy over screenshots of “a certain stablecoin being regulated/ reserve audits being opaque/ potential de-pegging.” Whenever I see this, I reflexively start checking: Does the issuer have the authority to change rules at will? Can the contract be upgraded? Is the oracle a single point of failure? If you’re all-in on a big position, these small issues can directly turn into insomnia; splitting into batches or using grid strategies is like adding a buffer cushion for yourself. Even if something goes wrong, you won’t be caught off guard. Anyway, my current principle is pretty simple: only strategies that let me sleep well are worth holding long-term.
