My past self was quite typical: when spot prices drop, I want to buy the dip; as I keep buying, I can't hold on; when futures rebound, I add more, and in the end, one wrong move causes a complete blow-up. Now I tell myself a simple truth: don't let one judgment decide your life or death, keep your position small enough so you can sleep peacefully—that's really all there is to it. You can also try swing trading, but first, plan out the "worst-case scenario": if the stop-loss is triggered, will I panic? Will I be forced to sell spot holdings to cover margin? Recently, everyone has been talking about the pressure from staking unlocks and token unlock calendars. My approach is pretty straightforward: don't leverage before or after unlocks, buy spot gradually in several rounds, even if I miss a little, I prefer not to let emotions drive me to keep increasing my position. Anyway, the market isn't short of opportunities; what’s missing are people who can survive until those opportunities come.
