My biggest takeaway from watching the market lately is: I can’t hold on to spot, and my contracts keep wanting to “get back to even in one big move.” Put simply, it’s not a technical issue—it’s that my position size amplifies my emotions. My plain-language version of position management is this: the part that lets you sleep is what you call a position; the part that keeps you awake is what you call gambling.

Other people think that adding a bit more leverage can improve efficiency, but in reality it magnifies the very needle you’re most afraid of—making it stab you every day. Recently, there’s been talk about some region raising taxes and tightening compliance; one moment they’re stricter, the next moment they’re looser. Deposit and withdrawal expectations keep drifting, while the fear-and-greed index hasn’t moved—yet social media’s hot-topic buzzwords are exploding...

So I’m hard-capping it now: contracts should be at most a seasoning. If you lose to some threshold, you automatically exit—don’t argue with yourself when it’s already hurting. In any case, living longer matters more than winning big just once.
