Recently, I found that unrealized losses are really more annoying than unrealized gains. When I make a profit, I just think "Hmm, it's okay," and go eat; once it turns red, my mind automatically starts replaying every trade, questioning if that slippage was caused by my shaky hand, and before bed I even want to take another look at the liquidity pool, like watching the weather forecast afraid of a sudden change overnight. Honestly, loss aversion is like this: the loss part feels like it has thorns, and even a light touch hurts.
These days, AI Agents and automated trading are being hyped up as very mysterious, feeling like half the people are telling stories, and the other half are quietly worrying about safety: authorization, permissions, rollback... I myself am more conservative, preferring to do less. Last night, I encountered a queue when placing an order, refreshing/retrying several times before getting in, which instantly made me more anxious, even though it was just floating, my heartbeat felt like I had actually lost money. Anyway, I’d rather keep my position small and sleep soundly than anything else.
