To be honest, being in floating losses is more torturous than being in floating profits. When you’re making money, you might be happy for a few minutes at most—but when you’re losing, you can’t sleep, tossing and turning. Your mind is filled with thoughts like “Should I cut?” and “Will it still go up?” People like me—who used to lose money chasing “meme dogs”—now understand cost control better, but that same uncomfortable feeling still won’t go away.

Lately, MEV has been talked about a lot. Retail traders complain that the ordering is unfair, and I find it really annoying too. It’s already not easy to make a bit of money, and then you get “squeezed” again—who wouldn’t be anxious? Anyway, now I only focus on stop-losses and timing. I don’t chase orders, and I don’t use excessive leverage. Sleep matters more. At most, I might make a few extra percentage points—but the feeling of being in floating loss… tsk, forget it.
