I only realized after I started recording that the difference between grid/DCA and a single trade isn't about "which is more profitable," but whether you can sleep at night. When I was doing a single trade before, I would pretend to be calm during the day, but at night I would stare at the candlestick charts like an electrocardiogram. If I lost money, I would find reasons for it: just hold on a little longer, and it will come back... but the more I held on, the more anxious I became.

Grid/DCA at least breaks down the impulse of "I want to gamble a bit," and recording it makes it very straightforward: am I executing the plan, or am I just using the plan to cover up my emotions? Honestly, sleep quality is inversely proportional to the fluctuation range of my position.

Recently, I see that the kind of collapse routine in blockchain games involving inflation and studio botting is happening again, and I think it's better not to see yourself as an eternal motion machine. Once the price spiral starts, the first to lose sleep are always those with heavy positions. Anyway, I now prefer to go slower and not stay up late fighting myself.
