My biggest feeling lately is: I can't hold onto spot positions, and I keep wanting to "hold on a little longer" with contracts, but in the end, it's either wiped out or liquidated… Honestly, position management boils down to one thing—don't let a single judgment ruin you completely. If you really want to hold spot, treat that money as temporarily nonexistent, don't stare at the charts and get itchy; for contracts, it's even simpler, just set a maximum loss limit, don't pretend to be a hero with leverage, admit when you've hit the line, and don't try to reason with the market.
Recently, there's been talk about certain regions increasing taxes, tightening compliance, or loosening regulations, and expectations for deposits and withdrawals change accordingly, causing sentiment to fluctuate. My approach is: in such times, it's even more important to reduce positions, don't add leverage out of anxiety—being alive is more important than being right… Just start with this, practice slowly.
