I can’t hold my spot positions anymore, and futures are even worse. The other day, I almost pushed my position to the limit again, but then I thought it over—it really scared me... To put it plainly, position management in plain human terms: first assume you might misread things, then set the ceiling to the part where “even if you’re wrong, it won’t mean you’re forced out.” Don’t treat emotions as capital from the start—when prices rise, you’re afraid you’ll miss out; when prices fall, you want to claw it back. In the end, it all turns into the market educating you.
Recently, I’ve been watching that kind of blockchain game spiral—like inflation + a studio + the coin price looping upward—and honestly it’s the same flavor as a personal liquidation: leverage/incentives get cranked up too far, and with the slightest headwind, you just spontaneously ignite. What I’m doing now is the stupidly practical way: enter in several batches, and hold only the position size that lets me sleep. If I really open futures, I treat it only as a hedge—if I lose, I accept it, and I don’t stubbornly hold on. After all, a delayed DAO may still be able to make it up later, but if your position gets blown out, it really can’t be made back.
