During the extreme funding rate spike, I really didn’t move much, but when I watched the charts, I still couldn’t help feeling itchy. In the past, I always set my stop-loss really wide, thinking, “I’ll just hold on a bit longer.” But once the market dropped, I ended up losing more, and the interest was also eating into my principal. Honestly, stop-loss is like breaking up: the longer you drag it out, the more it hurts. Recognizing the loss sooner not only saves on interest, but also saves your mind. The reason I get itchy is actually pretty cliché: I’m afraid of missing out, and I want to prove I’m right. If I leave that money sitting there without doing anything, I always feel like I’m wasting opportunities. To put it bluntly, it’s greed plus fantasy—the belief that, “This time will be different.” But experience has told me that most of the time, it’s the same. If you need to cut, you need to cut.
