My position is really like ice cream, whenever spot price rises I’m afraid of a pullback and sell quickly, then it keeps soaring… Futures are even more ridiculous, thinking “just a small trade,” but one needle drop and it blows up right in front of me. Later I realized a simple truth: first write down “the maximum loss possible,” then decide whether to buy or not, don’t do it the other way around. Treat spot as slowly eating, in a few bites, don’t swallow it all at once; treat futures like chili peppers, if you want to spice things up, but the amount must be small enough for you to sleep peacefully. Recently I’ve been talking about rate cut expectations, the dollar, and risk assets rising and falling together, honestly I don’t understand macro stuff either, so I have to stick to discipline, otherwise when emotions take over, the market will do the stop-loss for me. That’s it for now, I’ll hold back from acting too much today.
