The trading dilemma before leaving for vacation. My habit is to log out of my account to 'force a break,' but every time the market starts, I get hit by FOMO and can't resist logging back in to make small trades, then earning a little to satisfy myself. The end result is: during the vacation, my phone is never out of my hand, eyes glued to the candlestick charts, completely ruining the relaxation I wanted. This vicious cycle is quite ironic — initially, it was to stay away from the market and gain peace of mind, but in the end, I became even more enslaved by my phone. Instead of messing around like this, it's better to go all-in with a heavy bet before departure, so I can truly relax without distractions. Sometimes, completely relinquishing control is more honest than frequent 'small interventions.'

Haha, that's just how I am. I can't stick to logging out for more than three days.
I've also experienced this; FOMO is really intense.
Honestly, small-scale building positions is more torturous than full positions.
Holding a heavy position actually brings peace of mind? That logic is incredible.
Instead of watching the market all day, it's better to just go all in.

Haha, really, instead of pretending to be able to control yourself, it's more exciting to go all in and take a gamble.

Haha, this is me. I always say I want to disconnect from the internet, but as soon as the market moves, I log back in instantly.

lmao this is just poor position sizing optimization. you're literally hemorrhaging basis points by not committing to a single thesis pre-departure. the micro entries? dead capital, zero delta neutrality. just all-in before the flight, set your stops, then actually touch grass for once.
