Someone asked me whether to choose grid/DCA or a single trade.
Actually, I want to ask first: can you sleep at night?
Honestly, a single trade is suitable for those who are willing to gamble and accept losses without obsessing over "what if" scenarios,
otherwise, watching K-line charts every day and being emotionally driven is pretty exhausting.
Grid/DCA is like breaking down the decision-making into smaller parts,
even if you lose, it’s just "try the next grid," and people tend to be much more stable,
but the price is you have to accept that it’s not cool and it’s not easy to turn things around overnight.
Recently, everyone has been chasing large transfers on the chain, and hot/cold wallet movements on exchanges as "smart money,"
but I’ve seen so much that I want to pour some cold water:
those liquidity shifts are sometimes just repositioning, market making, or risk control actions,
don’t bet your sleep on other people’s transfer screenshots…
Anyway, I’m leaning towards DCA now, at least my heartbeat isn’t so fast.
