These days, I see everyone watching staking unlocks and token unlock calendars, talking as precisely as an alarm clock, and as soon as the time comes, everyone gets nervous... Honestly, the attention economy is just using your anxiety as fuel. When hot topics rotate, I now obsessively focus on only two things: first, writing off acceptable losses (otherwise I panic and click randomly), and second, watching execution quality and slippage. If there's a delay, I’d rather not trade.
Anyway, being liquidated often isn’t because of wrong direction, but because emotions push you to chase in and out, making your account feel like it’s being remotely controlled.
What I fear most isn’t loss, but losing control: hands faster than the brain, the more I operate, the more it feels like I’m working for the market.
For now, I’ll do this: watch fewer trending topics, and focus more on my order records.
