These days, I’ve been kept awake again by "floating losses." I clearly know that unrealized gains or losses don’t count for much, but my mind automatically starts imagining the worst-case scenarios... When I have floating profits, I’m surprisingly calm, even thinking "don’t celebrate too early." Honestly, losses feel like a reminder saying "You might have made a mistake," and that self-blame is louder than money. The more I try to prove I’m right, the harder it is to fall asleep.
It’s the same with on-chain data tools—some labels are questioned for being lagging or misleading. I can understand that; no matter how comprehensive the data is, it’s just someone’s interpretation, not the absolute truth. But I also don’t want to be forced to explain to anyone why I’m still holding or why I’m not moving my position first—I don’t need to be understood. I just need to be responsible for my own risk management logic.
What I can do now is: clearly write down the "worst-case scenario" before opening a position, follow the plan if I lose, and not change the strategy last minute like editing code in the middle of the night... I might be tempted to try, but don’t take sleep for a fee.
