These days, the funding rates have become a bit extreme again, and a bunch of people in the group are asking whether to take the other side of the trade. To be honest, I now prefer to avoid volatility first, especially when I see Meme and celebrity calls that accelerate attention rotation. When emotions run high, no matter how "tempting" the funding rate looks, it could just be a fishing hook. Veteran traders advise newcomers not to take the last hit; I think it's not about being discouraging, but about surviving longer.
What I don't regret is: before impulsively opening a position, I always review the authorization, read the signature word by word, even if it's a bit slow. If I really want to take the other side, I only dare to do small positions + clear stop-losses. If I lose, it's just tuition; after all, I need to keep my life. That's it for now.
