Stop-loss is kind of like a breakup: you keep dragging it out without clicking “Confirm.” Every day you stare at the chart, rehearsing more drama for yourself. The longer you delay, the more it hurts—and you even end up paying the “interest” on the capital you’ve tied up… Honestly, that moment you finally accept the loss is actually lighter.

Recently, everyone has been using ETF fund flows and dragging in things like U.S. stock risk appetite to explain price movements. I can feel a little unsettled too when I see it. But in the end, I still fall back on my old habit: every time I open a position, I first write down “I’m willing to acknowledge that I was wrong at which block height.” Once the time comes, I close according to plan and don’t try to argue with the market.

After going through rollbacks and getting stuck on blocks, I can stay calm—probably because I’ve been taught by the confirmation process: if you can’t wait for finality, no matter how full your emotions are, it won’t help. For now, that’s it.
