I used to want to run as soon as spot prices went up, and add to my position when futures prices dropped, but the result was getting hit from both sides: unable to hold onto spot, and getting liquidated on futures. Now I tell myself a simple truth: survive first, then make money—only take the amount I can afford to lose each time, and treat the rest as nonexistent; if I really want to trade futures, think of it as buying a "ticket," and before entering, consider whether you can sleep at night if the worst-case scenario happens. If not, don’t open the position. Anyway, my obsessive-compulsive tendencies are quite suitable for doing some subtraction: split positions, set a hard stop-loss, and interact with the platform to revoke permissions like locking the door. By the way, the recent NFT royalty disputes also seem pretty similar to trading: everyone wants higher "income," but when liquidity tightens, the first to suffer is always their own holdings. For now, do this, make fewer moves, and maybe you’ll win half the battle.
