Extending futures contracts has a clever advantage—you can gain extra operational time. For example, I extended a contract from last Friday to February and June, and this 5-month window becomes fully utilized. During this process, chasing highs also becomes a controllable option. At the same time, I also allocate some stocks to hedge risks, such as SNDK's spot position. However, the biggest headache with this kind of strategy is that you can never accurately determine the best exit timing. That’s also why I’m somewhat tired of trading prices—there’s too much uncertainty. In comparison, I prefer to choose longer-term extension plans like 12 months, giving myself enough buffer and room for adjustment.

Rolling over this trick, I've played it before. To put it simply, it's just looking for a chance to fix oneself.
This move sounds pretty solid, but I still think the problem remains the same — no matter how long the cycle is, it can't save a position that was chosen in the wrong direction.
12 months is indeed comfortable, but I always feel like this is just using time to buy space. Essentially, it's still gambling, right?

Extending the deadline is indeed a tough move, but honestly, I've been tricked quite a few times when it comes to timing the exit.
The one-year plan sounds stable, but you just have to keep a cool head.

Extending the term for 12 months is indeed comfortable, no need to watch the market every day and think about when to exit.
