You say testnet points are getting pumped into an expectation of trading right now, and honestly, I understand that. But to be honest, what I fear most is when you treat “practice” as something deterministic—then your position size goes up. You’re practicing; you’re training your mindset and your process, not your conviction.
Right now the funding rate is getting to an extreme level that’s just ridiculous. In the community, both sides are arguing: one side says the reversal is coming, and the other says the bubble will keep getting squeezed. My approach is this: for anything that’s based on expectations, I first set a psychological stop-loss—not a price stop-loss, but a time stop-loss. For example, if this wave of points doesn’t follow the expected pace, then I withdraw. I don’t wait.
What I fear most isn’t being slow. Being slow can be tolerated and refined; but when it gets chaotic, stampedes and fake signals come together, and you can’t tell whether it’s an opportunity or a pit.
