Stop-loss is really like a breakup—dragging it out without cutting it will only make you sink deeper and deeper, and you’ll have to pay the “interest” too—your attention and emotions are all taken over by it. In the past, I kept thinking it would come back to the cost line, but the result was that every day I stared at the charts, and my mindset got worse and worse, and I never even slept well.

Later, I was able to stay calm, mainly because of one habit: before placing an order, I write a sentence like “If I’m wrong, which way do I go,” quickly set the stop-loss price, then close the candlestick chart and go look at some technical write-ups (lately I’ve been digging into modularization/DA and Rollup, which is more useful than just watching uptrends and downtrends). As for the AI Agent automated trading and on-chain interactions that are being hyped so hard right now, I’m both tempted and scared—whoever is just spinning a story, I can tell—but on the safety side, if I really don’t understand well enough, then don’t let it make decisions for me… for now, that’s it.
