I recently gave myself a piece of advice: don’t treat your position as a belief, treat it as insurance first. If you can’t hold onto spot, it’s probably because you’re treating “wanting to hold” as “being able to withstand a pullback”; if your futures position gets liquidated, honestly, it’s because you’re treating “direction judgment” as “risk control.” I’m now drawing it out structurally: capital is divided into three parts, the first is kept as cash for opportunities, the second is slowly buying spot but only a small portion, and the third is futures, with each order clearly stating stop-loss points and maximum loss limits—if it hits, close it, no storytelling. By the way, these past couple of days, before and after that main public chain upgrade/maintenance, everyone in the group has been guessing whether the project will migrate or not. I’m more concerned about whether the bridges, oracles, and liquidation lines will break, so that when the time comes, the position is still there but the entry and exit points are gone. That’s it for now, staying alive is the most important.
