Recently, I realized that my biggest problem isn't misreading the direction, but rather holding onto spot positions and getting easily caught up in futures... In plain terms, it's about not managing my positions properly. Later, I told myself a simple truth: only positions you can sleep soundly with are true positions; if you can't sleep, that's called gambling. Treat spot trading as savings slowly accumulating; don't try to turn things around with every single candlestick. Futures should be seen as a seasoning, and if you really want to open a position, first write down "the worst-case loss" in your mind, don't rely on self-control in the moment. Especially now, with various tax increases and compliance measures tightening and loosening, deposit and withdrawal expectations change, and people's minds follow the chaos, making it easier to add to positions out of impulse. Anyway, lowering my expectations has actually made me feel more relaxed: losing a bit on fees is okay, just live to see the next bubble in the fish tank.
