Recently I dug up some old bull-and-bear cycle articles and found something: I used to always think I could go all-in in one shot and then sleep soundly. But every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I end up checking my phone—my blood pressure follows the chart. Now I’ve actually gotten more disciplined. With grid trading and DCA hooked up, I make money more slowly, but at least I can sleep through the night. In plain terms, sleep quality is worth more than returns.
Lately I’ve been looking at all that AI Agent and automated trading stuff. Honestly, some projects sell the story really well with smooth talk, but once you check the contract code, they fall apart. Saving on fees by doing on-chain interactions doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll avoid security issues. Anyway, for these “new world door” narratives, I’m treating them like jokes for now and will judge after they’ve been running for a while.
It’s not that going all-in in one shot is bad—just that for someone like me with a weaker heart, it’s better to be straightforward with grid trading. At least I won’t get woken up in the middle of the night by liquidation alert texts. That’s it for now—I’m going back to tuning parameters.
