Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit itchy again—watching the candlestick chart pull upward one by one, my brain automatically fills in the thought: “Miss it and it’s gone”… But I usually pause for 5 minutes first and ask myself this: Am I adding to my position because there’s genuinely new information, or am I just being pushed along by emotion? To put it plainly, information can be written as a single sentence, while emotion can only turn into, “I really want to get in.” I’ll also sketch the market like a waveform to see whether the rhythm has already entered a high-peak phase. A lot of the time, all the commotion is just noise.
Recently, social mining and fan tokens have been flooding the timeline again. It sounds pretty cool—“attention is mining”—but I can’t shake the feeling that attention is too cheap. What you may actually be mining might just be your own impulse. Either way, my current approach is pretty old-school: set a hard cap on my position size. If I want to chase, I first reduce my impulsiveness by one notch… If I can hold back, I’ll count it as a win.
