I’m increasingly feeling that the difference between grid/DCA and going “all in” comes down to this: where you’re willing to put your anxiety—at the moment you place the order, or at the moment afterward when you check the charts every day. I’ve been impulsive before too. I thought, “Once I understand, I should load up,” and then I would lie awake all night, my head full of candlestick charts, and the next day I still had to pretend to be normal at work… pretty stupid.
Grid/DCA, for someone like me who hasn’t quit that “product-thinking” mindset, feels more like “spelling out the interaction path”: when to add, when to stop, when to admit you’re wrong. Set the rules first—don’t tweak them on the fly. Recently, there’s been another wave of incentives for new L1/L2 that has pulled up TVL. As an old user, people are complaining about digging and selling/profit-taking, and watching that, I also feel even less like going “all in”—because you basically have no idea who you’re trading against. In the end, only a strategy you can sleep through counts as a real strategy.
