Lately, everyone has been talking about testnet incentives, earning points, and guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens... It's really lively, but when I get excited, I tend to get itchy hands, and once I get itchy, I tend to enlarge my positions.
Holding spot can't keep, and futures get liquidated. To be honest, it's not that you see the wrong direction, but that you make yourself unqualified to wait for the right moment. My straightforward advice: don't write "want to earn more" into your positions, write in "the maximum loss I can afford."
Should I add to my position and gamble?
No, first stay alive and wait for the next opportunity.
Right now, before I press the buy button, I ask myself: if the trade goes against me, can I sleep peacefully; if not, I reduce my position until I can sleep. Anyway, I open the umbrella first, and whether it rains heavily or not, that's for later.
