I found that floating losses really can keep people awake more than floating gains… Clearly telling myself during the day, “It's just a drawdown, as long as it’s not settled, it’s not a loss,” but as soon as I lie down, my mind starts looping: Should I add margin, should I cut losses, what if a single needle pierces through. Conversely, floating gains are strange too; even when I make money, I can't sleep peacefully, always afraid of a retracement, so I end up staring at the chart until my hands go numb.

If I hadn’t always waited until the last second to place orders, or if I had reduced my position when the funding rate was already extremely skewed, maybe I wouldn’t have so many sleepless nights… but I tend to be impulsive; when I’m losing, I want to recover, and when I’m winning, I don’t dare to trust it.

Recently, those on-chain tagging tools have been criticized for lagging or misleading, and I can relate a bit: seeing “big players buying” makes me relax, but then I realize maybe the tags are outdated or someone is deliberately bypassing them. Honestly, the loudest noise is still my own emotions, not the data. Tonight, I won’t add to my position anymore, forget it.
