Just now my phone popped up a red dot again, I thought it was a big move, but when I clicked in I found it was an exchange pushing a "market anomaly" alert... my heart rate sped up first, but it turned out to be nothing. Honestly, I increasingly feel that grid trading/DCA is more like buying insurance while sleeping; a one-shot trade is like tying yourself to the K-line, enduring until the end, even dreaming about adding positions.

I'm not saying that a one-shot trade doesn't work, but it relies more on emotions and discipline. Winning feels great, losing easily leads to overconfidence and reasons to add more. Instead, taking it slow according to rules, even if the gains are slow, at least I won't wake up in the middle of the night checking notifications.

Recently, looking at the play-to-earn games with inflation + studio + coin price spiral, it feels like "one-shot economics," collapsing the moment you pause for a second. It's too torturous. Anyway, my rules are still the same: no adding positions, no chasing miracles, only trading when I can sleep peacefully.
