I find that many people can't hold their spot in spot trading, and their contracts keep blowing up, honestly it's not that your judgment is poor, but that your position is too full and your mindset is being pulled around by volatility. Give yourself a piece of plain advice: for any trade, even in the worst case, it shouldn't affect your sleep. Only when you can do this are you qualified to talk about strategies.
I personally split my positions into "slow" and "fast": the slow ones are like savings, don’t watch them every day; the fast ones are for playing around, but even the fast ones should have a plan for what to do if you’re wrong—don't rely on "holding on a little longer." Those on-chain testnet incentives, point expectations, and guesses about whether the mainnet will issue tokens look exciting, but they can actually make people overly emotional and leverage more... Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less than to be pierced through by a needle.
To make an analogy: like driving, stepping on the accelerator to the floor is definitely exciting, but if your braking system isn’t upgraded, don’t pretend you’re a race car driver. That’s all for now.
