Basically, the way I manage my positions now boils down to one simple rule: don't let any impulsive move kick you off the trading table.


Holding spot positions usually means you bought too big; when it rises a little, you want to sell, and when it drops a little, you panic; futures liquidation is even easier, leverage gets you hyped up, and a few swings in the market can wipe you out.
I thought I could handle drawdowns pretty well, but a recent wave of volatility brought my mindset back to square one… So I started to trade in batches, keep some bullets, and prefer to earn less than to lose sleep over it.
Lately, AI agents and automated trading look very tempting, but the more automated it is, the more cautious I become—checking permissions, private keys, and contract addresses more carefully. It’s better to be slow and safe than fast and reckless.
That’s it for now; I’ll wait until my emotions truly recover before acting again.
