Lately, grinding testnet points has been a bit of a headache for me. It was originally just to practice and get a feel for things, but once everyone started talking about “expectations,” my hand started itching to do more… To be blunt, once practice comes with “what I should be able to get,” it’s easy to turn it into chasing pumps. My stop-loss is kind of crude: first, I set myself a cap—how much time and how much gas/fees I’ll spend today; if I go over, I close the webpage. Second, I add another rule: if I make two consecutive mistakes (things like signing issues, cross-chain problems, or entering the wrong address), I stop immediately. When my emotions are already off, forcing it just means more losses. Recently, the whole ETF fund-flow angle has been tied to US stock market risk appetite, and that makes me want to chase “the wind,” but I’d rather be half a step behind right now—skip one impulsive trade. After all, points are… really not the same as a paycheck.
