I tried once, even though I clearly felt something was wrong, I stubbornly persisted, and I even talked myself into it: just wait a little longer, bounce back a bit more, then leave.

As a result, the more I dragged it out, the more it felt like a breakup; not only did I lose on paper, but the hardest part was the daily struggle of watching the market, feeling conflicted, even losing sleep over it.
Later, I forced myself to stop, admitted I was wrong, and honestly, it felt much easier—what I saved wasn't money, but the interest in my brain.

These days, I see the funding rate being discussed at extremes again; some say it will reverse, others say to keep squeezing the bubble.
I don’t want to guess the big show anymore.
My simple approach is: once the logic breaks, step back first, save some bullets for the next “colorful window” puzzle, don’t lock yourself onto one piece of glass.
That’s it for now.
