I’ve noticed that many people can’t hold onto spot positions, and their futures positions get liquidated. Honestly, it’s not that they don’t know how to read the charts; it’s that their leverage amplifies their emotions. My straightforward advice: first, treat yourself as “someone who will make mistakes,” and only bet with money you can lose several times without affecting your sleep. The positions you can hold in spot should be those that only make you frown at a pullback, not want to smash your phone; as for futures, don’t treat them as a tool for quick turnaround, at most use them as a small tool—admit mistakes immediately, don’t stubbornly hold on.
Recently, airdrop season feels like clocking in at work, with task platforms layering on anti-witchcraft measures and points systems. Many people are competing fiercely while still trying to leverage more to recover losses… I really advise against it. If you can’t even hold onto spot positions, it’s not “lack of faith,” it’s probably that your leverage is too heavy. Reduce your leverage to a level that keeps you calm; naturally, your emotions will lessen. Don’t expect to solve the “can’t hold” problem with leverage. The earlier phrase “sleep,” also applies here: only positions you can sleep soundly with are your real positions.
