My recent take on position management in plain human terms: don’t use “emotions” as leverage. If you can’t hold your spot, it’s usually because your position is so big you can’t even sleep. And if your futures keep blowing up—let’s be real—that’s just writing your stop-loss like it’s a wish. My simple method is to first set a “loss amount I can accept even in the worst case,” then work backward to calculate your position size and leverage. Once you hit that, you automatically clock out and go write jokes—don’t try to debate with the candlestick charts.

These past two days, the funding rate has gone to extremes, and the group is arguing again whether it’s a reversal or whether it’ll keep squeezing the bubble. I generally don’t try to guess the storyline— the more unhinged the rate gets, the more I treat it as a “crowdedness warning.” Either reduce your position, or lower your leverage to the point where you can survive a single needle. In any case, staying alive matters more than calling the top right—DAO votes are about game theory, and trading is the same. Just don’t let yourself become someone else’s liquidity material.
