These days, I see people complaining again about miners/validators taking too much, MEV causing unfair ordering, basically thinking they're competing with the price, but actually they're competing with the "queueing rules." The more I see this environment, the more I believe that grid trading/DCA at least helps me sleep better: it assumes I can't precisely predict the entry points, and it also assumes I will be affected a little by slippage, front-running, and out-of-order transactions. So, breaking actions into smaller steps and spacing out the frequency makes it less likely for my mindset to blow up.

Of course, jumping in all at once feels great; winning makes you feel like a genius, losing means staring at the screen all night as self-punishment. Anyway, my current approach is pretty simple: if losing this money would make my brain stop working the next day, then don’t jump in, give myself some breathing room; if losing is just a “oh well,” then go ahead and push.

What I’ve learned isn’t a technique, but rather to treat my sleep as a risk management parameter.
