I tend to not hold onto spot positions for long; as soon as it rises, I want to cash out, only to see it keep going up after I sell; futures are even more ridiculous, holding on until I get liquidated, it's both funny and frustrating… Later I realized a simple truth: don’t let a single trade determine your mood today. Treat spot as saving money, buy in several parts slowly, and you can still sleep soundly when it drops; futures are best used as a seasoning, losing a little won’t affect your life, set your stop-loss in advance, or else when emotions kick in, it’s all “just hold on a bit longer.” Recently, everyone has been interpreting ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto price movements together, I also glance at them, but honestly, those narratives are just giving you reasons, while your position size is what leaves you an exit route. That’s it for now, practice slowly.
