These past few days, I got caught up in the "attention economy" again.
Whenever the hot topics change, I get itchy to jump in, watching the order book get lively,
and the next second I become the bag holder... To be honest, it's not that I can't read the market,
it's that I am too easily led by emotions.
I set a rule for myself: when the hype is sky-high, hold back first,
wait until the funding rate and the order flow are no longer one-sided before considering,
otherwise I'd rather miss out.
On the macro side, they’re talking about rate cut expectations,
the US dollar index bouncing along with risk assets,
and I realize that at such times, it's easier to think I "must participate,"
only to be repeatedly cut.
Let's leave it at that for now, losing less is more important than earning quickly.
