I find that I am quite typical of loss aversion: when I have a paper profit, I think "Hmm, it's okay," and I go eat;
once I start to see a paper loss, even if the position isn't large, my mind automatically magnifies it, repeatedly checking the pool depth and slippage curves, the more I look, the more it seems like I might be squeezed out...
Before bed, I even think, "Should I withdraw half to protect my capital?"
Honestly, the gains feel like something I picked up on the street, while the losses feel like I was cut with a knife from my own flesh.
Recently, that mainstream chain is about to upgrade/maintain, and everyone in the group is guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate.
I'm actually not too concerned about their arguments, but more worried about whether liquidity will suddenly thin out before and after maintenance, whether market makers will withdraw, and whether a slip-up at that time will teach you a lesson.
Anyway, my current strategy is very timid: when I see the pool starting to dry up, I step back first and get a good night's sleep.
