I now increasingly feel that trading methods are actually just about choosing a way to fall asleep. Grid/DCA feels like breaking emotions into pieces and throwing them out, with both ups and downs giving something to do but not needing to watch constantly; a quick trade is very "pleasurable," but after the pleasure, I basically start analyzing in my mind until dawn. Recently, I've been talking about interest rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, sometimes risk assets move together up and down, and when the market direction is chaotic, a quick trade makes it easier to wake myself up.

If I hadn't rushed to chase that surge at the time, waited for a confirmation first, I probably wouldn't have gotten up twice in the middle of the night to check my phone... Anyway, I now prefer to slow down, split my positions, and leave some room for myself to breathe. Sleep really matters more than win rate.
