The hot topics have been changing waves these days, and I realize that the easiest thing to get liquidated isn't the direction, but attention. If you're staring at the group arguing "Are the extreme funding rates about to reverse or continue to inflate the bubble," your hand gets itchy, and the next second you want to chase, resulting in chaos in the rhythm.
Now I set a simple rule for myself: during the lively times, do less; wait until the shadow lines finish. To put it plainly, no matter how exaggerated the funding rate is, it's just an emotional thermometer, not an answer. What I can do is cut my positions smaller, enter more slowly, and if I miss out, I miss out—at least don't use emotions to pick up others' chips. Anyway, what I fear more is repeatedly getting caught up in the hype, not missing the opportunity.
