Honestly, the biggest advantage of grid/DCA isn't how much you can make, but that I can fall asleep... When the funding rate goes haywire or the open interest suddenly spikes, as an emotional trader, I start to imagine "If I don't chase now, it'll be gone," and then I stay up late watching the charts until my eyes hurt. Conversely, setting up a grid or dollar-cost averaging at least gives me a clear next step, so I don't argue with every candlestick.

Recently, everyone keeps talking about staking unlocks, token unlock calendars, and the anxiety of selling pressure. I also get caught up in the rhythm and really want to make a directional bet. But I’m not sure if I’m trading or just venting... So now I prefer to channel my impulses into small positions, and leave the rest to grid/DCA. If I lose money, I’ll stop for a week according to the rules—just to preserve my life.
