Just now I got the itch again and wanted to chase a move, almost pushing my position up... Then I paused for two seconds and asked myself: What new information have I really gained, or am I just being dragged along by the K-line's emotions? Honestly, open interest is rising, funding rates are starting to squeeze people, and the liquidation hot zones have moved up too. At times like these, "chasing" feels more like passing the baton for someone else.

Recently, narratives about AI Agents and automated trading are hot again. I also get tempted, but the more automated it is, the more I need to focus on safety. If I don’t understand on-chain interaction permissions, authorizations, and contract sources clearly, I might end up losing more from a phishing attack than from a single trade.

When I was a beginner, I misunderstood: seeing a rise made me think, "The market understands me better," and that not chasing would mean missing out. Now I understand: missing out isn’t a big deal; emotional trading is the most expensive, and discipline can help me survive a few more rounds.
