I’ve been educated by myself again recently: stop-loss really is like a breakup—dragging it out without saying it clearly only makes you sink deeper. In the end, that whole fantasy of “wait a bit longer and you’ll get back to break-even” basically turns into interest and emotional costs. Admit the loss early; at least your head stays clear, and you can redirect your attention to steadier things.

These past two days I’ve been seeing a lot of modular and DA-layer narratives—developers are having a great time over there. But as someone who’s more user-focused, I’m a bit confused: I understand the concepts only a little, but when it comes to “how exactly should I use it / how do I avoid getting tricked,” I get stuck. Maybe it’s also because I’m too risk-averse—I’d rather make a little less money than let my position become an “emotion position” just to follow the trend.

One small mindset thing, too: not long ago, I was paying attention to a certain account that was getting a lot of hype. Later I realized that every day I was being pulled along by anxiety and an itch to trade, so I silently unfollowed it… now there’s less information, and ironically it’s easier to follow my plan. That’s it for now.
