Spot positions can't be held, and contracts are easily blown out; to be honest, it's not that you're not capable, but that your position size is too heavy. My straightforward advice: first keep a position that can "survive," and only then talk about making a profit or loss. Treat spot trading as slow money, don't chase when it rises and cut when it falls; don't treat stop-losses as decorations in contracts, think clearly before opening a position about "how much can I lose at worst," and only proceed if you can accept it.
Last night, I saw on the blockchain a transfer from 0x7c…e1 into the newly upgraded contract, and five minutes later it was returned the same way, like testing permissions or rolling back... At such times, I prefer to watch with a small position rather than hold a full position and endure.
Recently, everyone has been interpreting ETF capital flows, U.S. stock risk appetite, and crypto market rises and falls together, which sounds lively, but when emotions run high, it's easy to leverage more. Anyway, I have only one rule: your position should let you sleep well, only then can you face the next day.
