I used to be the kind of obsessive person: I only looked at on-chain data, thinking all the information was there, and emotions were just noise.

It took a few lessons to realize: holding spot positions without selling, and futures that are easy to get liquidated—it's not about the direction, but about having too much leverage + no backup plan.

Here's a piece of plain talk I tell myself now: don’t base your position size on “wanting to make money faster.”
The part you can sleep soundly over is your spot position; if you can’t sleep, reduce it.
Treat futures as a tool with a bad temper—before opening a position, think clearly about the worst-case loss, accept it when it happens, and don’t add more to hold on stubbornly.

Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock again, and phishing links are also on the rise.
Everyone’s security awareness has suddenly gone up, but many are still impulsively clicking on “stranger links” when trading…
Anyway, I’d rather earn less than get liquidated and worry about my seed phrase being stolen.
That’s it for now, slowly improving.
