Recently, I suddenly started catching up on my trading records, and I almost ended up getting myself in trouble… During the day, I slack off at work; at night, I trade small caps with relatively high volatility. Once I have a lot of orders, I just jot down a rough overview. But when the time finally comes to file a report or do reconciliation, everything gets mixed together: which one is spot and which one is a contract, which one is a transfer and which one is a fee.

So now I can only use a clumsy workaround: every time I place an order or make a transfer, I immediately screenshot it and export the statement to the cloud disk. The on-chain addresses are also limited to a few fixed ones, so later, when I check, it won’t turn into something like I’m playing a claw machine.

The other day, the fee rates were extremely high again. In the group chat, people were arguing whether to flip positions/strategy—reverse the direction—or keep squeezing the bubble. I’ve backed up my records first, so I don’t end up being the one squeezed at the end of the year… What I’m most afraid of isn’t missing opportunities. It’s the moment when I finally realize I can’t even explain clearly where I actually lost money.
