Recently, I’ve been having trouble sleeping again because of “floating losses.” Actually, I haven’t lost much on paper, but my mind automatically magnifies it into “Did I do something wrong?”

Unrealized gains are different; when it goes up, I still think it’s not enough, and I even want to wait a bit longer…
To put it simply, losses make people more eager to cut the uncertainty immediately, even if it means selling at the worst possible point.

Others think I’m watching the market to make more profit. In reality, most of the time it’s to confirm I haven’t fallen into a trap and that I can still “return to the cost line.”

In the past couple of days, when the funding rate was extreme, the group was arguing whether to reverse or continue squeezing the bubble. I, on the other hand, became more cautious: at times like this, it’s easiest to be pushed by emotions into adding to the position or opening a reverse trade, and both sides end up getting hit.
Now I’m just splitting my position into smaller parts, setting an acceptable line, and sleeping well is more important than anything else.
That’s it for now.
