Last night it rained heavily, I was scrolling Twitter while moving my positions, and I accidentally missed one digit when copying the address. The moment I clicked send, I felt my heart sink... Luckily, it was an internal transfer within the exchange, so I withdrew it, and it was a false alarm. Anyway, this incident reminded me: I can't hold onto spot positions, and I tend to get emotional with contracts. Honestly, it's not about skill; it's because my positions are too "full," which makes me panic.
A straightforward explanation: don’t push your position to the point where you have to be right. Treat spot as saving money, don’t go all-in; think of contracts as seasoning, admit mistakes when they happen, and don’t try to hold onto losses. Recently, everyone has been interpreting ETF fund flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto market rises and falls together, and I see it too. But when it comes to actual trading, I still ask myself: if I lose this trade, will I still be able to sleep tonight? If not, then reduce the size, that’s the first step.
