I am such a fragile-minded market maker; when spot prices drop, I want to run, and when contracts rebound, I want to chase. In the end, I either can't hold on or get wiped out... Later, I realized that position management, in simple terms, is: don't let any single position be so large that just glancing at the candlestick makes your heart race. Even for opportunities you truly believe in, don't go all in at once—start small, learn from mistakes, admit them, and don't rely on "holding on a bit longer" to gamble that it will turn around.
Recently, the group has been talking about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various rumors of "de-pegging." Every time I see them, I get emotionally triggered and want to clear all my positions. Now, I force myself to do one thing first: don't make decisions, just reduce leverage or cut positions in half, to bring my mind back to a rational, calculative state.
Next time, I plan to write down a "why" for each addition to my position; if I can't come up with a reason, I won't add. Do you have any self-rescue methods for when you get nervous and end up placing impulsive orders?
