These days, the meme hype is once again flooding social media, to be honest, the hardest part isn't choosing which meme to follow, but how to set stop-losses after entering the market without being driven by emotions.
I'm currently mostly in a "waiting" mode: waiting for the funding rate not to spike to extremes right away, waiting for my positions not to be all on the same side crowded together, waiting to clarify whether this trade is a bet on the narrative or just riding the wave of volatility.
If I haven't figured it out yet, I start with small positions to test the waters, placing stop-losses at a point where I'm willing to admit I was wrong, not where I feel it's "about the same."
Recently, the social mining and fan token schemes, where "attention is mining," have been quite noisy.
I actually see them more as a thermometer of emotions: the more it feels like a nationwide task, the more it reminds me not to get carried away, and that even if there's profit, I should have an exit point.
Anyway, I prefer to take a smaller loss now than to risk losing everything I’ve accumulated earlier all at once.
