Last night before bed, I was flipping through my positions again and got itchy, suddenly realizing: grid/DCA is actually just setting myself up with a "recipe that helps me sleep." As a talkative practical trader, I fear that after a quick trade, I start to overthink: should I cut losses, add more, or pretend nothing happened... The timing all depends on emotions, and the next morning I wake up like I stayed up all night binge-watching shows.



In essence, grid and DCA are about chopping up "hesitation," throwing it into the pot to simmer slowly. The profits may not be the biggest, but your heartbeat will be steadier; a quick trade is suitable for those who can truly handle drawdowns and don't regret not watching the market—otherwise, it's just self-torture.

By the way, the recent NFT royalty dispute is quite similar: everyone wants creators to earn income, but when secondary liquidity tightens, emotions blow up first. Anyway, no matter how complex my current strategy is, I have to ask myself: after finishing this setup, can I sleep tonight? If yes, go ahead; if not, cut back.
