I find that the times I am most likely to have trouble sleeping are not when I’ve made a profit and it’s not in my pocket, but when the small unrealized losses on my account are hanging there. To put it simply, even a 1% unrealized loss feels like a magnifying glass in my mind, automatically imagining “what if it drops further,” then I start tossing and turning, looking for reasons, looking for evidence, the more I look, the more it seems like something’s going to go wrong; on the other hand, unrealized gains are often seen as “good luck,” and I quickly forget about them.
The same applies to on-chain data—sometimes I look at tool labels or fund flows, originally wanting peace of mind, but if the labels are lagging or I get misled, I become even more anxious: you think you’re looking at facts, but actually you’re just looking at the script you want to believe. Later, I set a simple rule for myself: as soon as I start scrolling data because of unrealized losses, I stop, note down the position and the emotional trigger point on a line, turn off the screen and go to sleep first, then decide tomorrow whether to make a move.
