Trading perps is one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped trading on dexes on weekends at 39 years old. I'm now almost 42. When I was 41, I thought, I'll try to trade on weekend again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of only trading on interactive brokers, decided to try perps on hyperliquid xyz on Friday evening It ruined three days of my life. I did a couple of trades in Tesla perp, didn't even get liquidated. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I tweeted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my fitbit(wishful_cynic)
