I find that people are really strange: the same market fluctuations, I might only glance at the paper gains, but floating losses feel like a thorn, and at night I keep thinking about whether to cut my position first or worry about hitting the bottom with a single cut. Honestly, it’s not about the money, it’s about self-esteem being rubbed by the market; the more I watch, the more I want to prove I was right, which makes me more likely to add to my position and drag it out.
These days, the funding rates are so extreme that the community is arguing loudly—whether it’s a reversal or just more bubble squeezing… I actually don’t like to guess; no matter how exaggerated the rate is, it’s just an emotional thermometer. When it gets too hot, it’s easy to get burned. My approach is still the old routine: the planned stop-loss is right there, once triggered, I walk away. Being able to sleep well is more important than “getting it right once.”
As for whether I should be more aggressive next… I won’t say for sure yet.
