At 9:30 p.m., the group chat started buzzing again.
The people who stay quiet all day are the most active at this hour. Some are showing off, some are ranting, and some just drop a picture without explaining. I took a look and didn’t reply. Replying at this hour would probably turn into an argument, and I’d still be unable to sleep afterward.
At night, it’s easiest to get too attached to your positions.
When the screen dims, the numbers seem bigger. If it ticks up a little, you think you can hang on a bit longer; if it drops a little, you think you shouldn’t have shut down your computer tonight. I used to keep myself up until two or three in the morning like that. I wasn’t trading—I was wearing myself down. My account was barely any better for it, and the next morning I’d feel empty.
A friend messaged me in the middle of the night: “Still awake?”
I said I’d go to bed after this candle. He said he’d said the same thing last time—and later, he’d lost his freedom but kept the dark circles under his eyes.
I turned my phone face down.
There was no light outside, except for one apartment across the way. I wondered if they were working late or watching the charts too. The thing the crypto world most resembles at night is a group of people who are all awake, pretending they’re still in control. Most of them just can’t bring themselves to switch off.
He asked me for something to watch at night. I said not to place orders at this hour. If you want to watch something, watch ETH. Its trading volume on Binance Futures keeps pace with BTC, and its price action is choppier at night—perfect for trapping people who think, “Just one more look.” Watching is fine, but don’t stay up with an open position.
A position you can sleep with is yours to keep.
