When the funding rate hits an extreme, my first reaction isn't "quickly take the other side," but rather to first take my hand off the mouse... Frankly, in such times, the market feels more like an emotional test rather than a technical one. Listening to the other side sounds satisfying, but as soon as the volatility hits you a couple of times, the slippage + liquidation line will teach you a lesson.

My current habit is: first turn off group messages and KOL notifications, especially recently with the meme-like atmosphere where celebrities shout and the whole market gets hyped up, it's too easy to mistake "I want to trade" for "I must trade." Then I only do two things: check if my position has already been hijacked by leverage, and re-confirm my preset stop-loss/take-profit levels. Until I’ve written these down clearly, I’d rather avoid the volatility—earning a little less is fine.

Anyway, I treat myself as a cross-chain bridge risk controller: better slow than filling liquidity at the loudest moment. Veteran traders say don’t take the last baton, and I’m listening more and more seriously now.
