These days, meme coins are heating up again, and as I scroll through the timeline, I feel more and more anxious, so I just muted the group.

Clearing my ears actually helps me think clearly: the excitement belongs to others, the pullback is my own, and no matter how smooth the narrative is, it’s not a talisman.

I try to write my stop-loss orders before placing the trade; otherwise, I get caught up and start looking for reasons to delay.
Honestly, there are only two rules: either follow the price (if it falls below my preset line, I exit), or follow the time (if this narrative doesn’t play out within a few days, I’ll assume I was wrong and exit first).
There’s also a small habit—prefer to keep the position small enough that “even if it rises, I won’t be happy,” rather than large enough that “if it falls, I can’t sleep.”

Recently, everyone’s arguing whether the extreme funding rates are a reversal or just continued bubble squeezing, and I don’t know either…
But at times like this, I prefer to see it as a risk warning: the crowded side can give you a lesson at any moment.
Let’s leave it at that for now, take it slow.
