My sleep is strongly linked to my position size… If I go all-in like that, I stubbornly say during the day, “The trend is here,” but at night I start staring at the candlestick chart until my eyes ache. If my phone even vibrates, I assume it’s a liquidation alert. On the other hand, grid trading/DCA is like breaking up my emotions—whether the market goes up or down, there’s at least something to do. But the trade-off is that you have to accept, “Maybe making money won’t feel quite as satisfying.” In any case, my heartbeat won’t be pounding as hard.

Recently, there’s been another wave of interpretations of on-chain large transfers and unusual movements between exchange hot and cold wallets as smart money, right? I also get restless and want to follow along. The result is that I thought I was trading with smart money, but really I was trading with my own anxiety… After seeing too many screenshots, I feel like I should act. Now I’m more inclined to take small steps and do it slowly—only when I can sleep well can there be a follow-up. No matter how “perfect” the strategy is, if I can’t sleep, it’s useless.
