Lately I’ve been stuck between running a grid or sticking with DCA versus just going all in—basically, it comes down to whether I can fall asleep. Going all in feels thrilling, but when I see discussions at night about the US dollar index and risk assets moving together up and down, my brain automatically fills in the rest: what if there’s a big move tomorrow… and then I start feeling restless and wanting to change my position. It’s pretty tiring.

In the end, I actually lowered my target: I don’t expect to take in the entire market move at once. I’ll follow a fixed rhythm DCA, or use small grids to pick up some volatility-related fees. If I lose, I’ll lose more slowly. Whether I end up making money or not is secondary—at least I won’t end up riding an emotional rollercoaster just because of one line about interest-rate cuts. Maybe I’m better suited to “slower, but steady,” so I’ll go with that for now.
