These past few days, I've been staring at alerts until my eyes feel sore, while also watching everyone discuss whether there will be a "major ecosystem migration" before and after a certain mainstream public chain upgrade... Honestly, this is when it's easiest to get itchy: rushing into spot can't hold, and getting too excited about futures can easily get you liquidated with a single spike.
For position management, I only have one piece of advice: don't take "I want to win" as "I can endure." The positions you can sleep soundly with are your real positions.
If you want to buy, do it in several installments; if you want to open a position, first treat the worst-case scenario as already lost.
What I don't regret is that before entering the market, I always think clearly about what to do if the chain suddenly goes offline or undergoes maintenance... Anyway, surviving first is the priority.
