I am now increasingly convinced that "slow" is the way to go. Grid/DCA is like simmering soup, low heat for a slow cook, the process is boring but you sleep soundly; a single trade is more like dropping ingredients into hot oil, it smells good, but don’t blame the pan if you get splashed with oil. To put it simply, choosing which method doesn’t depend on how good you are at reading the charts, it’s about whether you can put down your phone at night.

Recently, there’s been talk about certain regions increasing taxes and tightening compliance, and when the expectations for inflows and outflows change, the mindset becomes like adding too much salt— the more anxious, the saltier it gets. My approach is quite timid: take it slow if possible, buy and sell in batches, and treat "sleep" as the first stop-loss line… Anyway, those who can endure it often end up with a more genuine dish in the end.
