I’ve found that the biggest difference between grid/DCA and going all-in with a single position isn’t how much you profit—it’s whether you can actually sleep. Going-all-in has that kind of rush that really gets addictive, but I’m an emotion-driven trader: at night my brain automatically replays everything until dawn. And the next day, if someone in the group drops a single line like “It’s about to reverse,” I can end up getting swept along with them… Anyway, it’s pretty exhausting.

Recently, when the funding rate gets extremely extreme, it’s even more obvious. Everyone argues whether to keep squeezing the bubble or to reverse immediately—watching it all, I start getting a restless urge to act. Later I learned my lesson: I treat grid/DCA as a personal “slow down” lock. Even if I run into slippage that makes me feel sick, it’s still better than my heartbeat racing. Maybe the strategy that fits me isn’t the most aggressive one, but the kind that leaves me with the energy to check community signals the next day.
