Recently, I was educated once again by my own "wait a bit longer" mentality. Cutting losses really is a bit like a breakup—you know it's not right, but you stubbornly pretend everything's fine, and in the end, both the paper losses and mental exhaustion add up, making the cost of dragging it out even higher. Admitting defeat earlier can actually be more relaxing, even for slow movers, they need to learn to be decisive at a certain point.
These days, I've been watching the extreme values of spot/derivative funding rates, and the group is arguing whether to reverse or continue to squeeze the bubble. I'm not in a rush to pick a side; honestly, since I react slowly, I prefer to do less and wait for the emotions to subside on their own. Just reminding myself: being wrong in judgment isn't shameful; enduring it stubbornly is the real torment.
I don't need to be understood, but I will clearly set my boundaries: I only take responsibility for my own positions, and I hope everyone stops making conclusions for others. That's all for now.
