Grid/DCA stuff, to put it simply, is just giving yourself a "reason to sleep peacefully."
For someone like me who has been taught by gas many times, I'm most afraid that after a quick trade, I still have to watch the charts and top up positions, the more I look, the more anxious I get, and in the end, the fees are more expensive than my emotions...
So now I prefer grid + DCA, slower but with peace of mind, and if I make a mistake, I can keep a small record: is it a strategy problem or a slip-up.
A quick trade isn't impossible either, suitable for those who are sure they can handle the drawdown and don't like to operate repeatedly, otherwise waking up in the middle of the night and grabbing the phone as the first thing is really a life-shortening act.
By the way, I want to complain about the recent label set on on-chain data tools, feeling a bit like "hindsight bias," and it might also be used to steer the narrative.
Anyway, I only take it as a reference now, not as an edict, and ultimately, it comes down to: don’t let your position affect your sleep.
