Lately I’ve been torn over whether grid trading or DCA is better for someone like me—lazy. Going all-in is way too stimulating; I can’t sleep at night, especially when the spot market drops 20%, which makes me panic. Grid trading may bring slower returns, but the upside is that you don’t have to watch the charts. I just set my range and order sizes, and that’s it—I only need to check once a day.
Recently, the whole issue of NFT royalties has been getting a lot of heat. I thought everyone would stand with creators, but when liquidity is poor, a lot of people start blaming high royalties for scaring off buy-side demand. Put simply, when the market is hot, everyone has a reason; when it’s cold, only self-interest remains.
When it comes to grid trading, I originally thought it was steady—then I forgot to set a stop-loss and had to take a hard hit during a wave of sharp sell-offs. Luckily, my position was light. Now I’ve learned the lesson: both grid trading and DCA are decent, but you have to think clearly first about whether you can endure the loneliness of continuously running the strategy without repeatedly beating the broader market. Going all-in might let you make quick money, but for me, sleeping well matters more than anything.
