I've always been like this: when spot prices go up, I want to sell; when they pull back, I chase again. Futures are even crazier—once my hand itches, I add more positions, and in the end, either I make a little profit or I get wiped out in one shot and end up spitting back everything I gained before. To put it plainly, position management comes down to one human sentence: don’t let any impulse to “prove yourself” kick you straight off the trading table. Now I basically have two layers: the bulk stays in a cold wallet long-term—can’t move, and that also means peace of mind; the smaller part is the tuition—if I really want to play, I first set the maximum amount I’m willing to lose, and once that limit is hit, I shut the software. Lately, everything about AI agents and automated trading has been hot again; everyone can hype the narrative, but no one wants to look at the safety details… For my part, I’m more afraid of approval/permissions being abused and private key leaks than of missing out. What I don’t regret is treating “living long” as the top return. That’s it for now.
