I am increasingly feeling that the biggest difference between grid/DCA and a single trade is not the profit, but whether you can sleep at night... With a single trade, you might stubbornly say "just pay tuition" during the day, but when your phone vibrates at night, you think it's a breakout; grid/DCA is more like putting yourself into autopilot, earning or not earning is secondary, at least you don't need to watch the market every minute.
Recently, I saw someone interpret large on-chain transfers and abnormal movements in exchange hot and cold wallets as "smart money," and honestly, I also get the itch to take a look. But after reading, I ask myself: what does this have to do with whether I can execute my plan? My biggest fear isn't losing money, but changing my strategy before bed and waking up the next day to find myself chasing emotions again. Anyway, I now lean more towards "can I use it, can I stick with it," for now.
