I recently realized that even though I haven't actually lost money on the "settlement," as long as there's a floating loss in my account, I can't help but open it up before bed to take a look. The more I look, the clearer it becomes; conversely, when there's a floating profit, I feel very casual, "Hmm, it's okay," and I even lazy to click into the position. To put it simply, my brain is more sensitive to losses, as if those red numbers are not just digits but a reminder that "Did I do something wrong?" Moreover, floating losses tend to prolong my worry: I start thinking about whether tomorrow will be worse, whether I should cut, and if I cut, will it immediately bounce back... My entire attention gets hijacked. Floating profits don't get this treatment; at most, I praise myself for two minutes and then go browse other things.
In the past couple of days, discussions about modularization/DA layer also seem quite similar: developers are excitedly talking about usability, sampling, throughput, making perfect sense; but ordinary users only care about "clicking without lag, without high costs, without errors." When the experience isn't good (equivalent to the user's "floating loss"), emotions immediately explode; when the experience improves ("floating profit"), no one thanks you, it's just expected. Anyway, my current approach is to watch the market less, and when I do watch, I only check if the plan has been broken. If not broken, I pretend it doesn't exist, and try to give myself back some sleep... for now.
