I’ve recently gotten a little spooked: I wanted to hold longer in spot trading, but the moment there’s a pullback, I get impulsive and end up trimming my position. Then I switch over to futures, thinking I’ll be “a bit more stable”—but once the leverage kicks in, a sudden gust almost gets me liquidated. To put it plainly, one sentence of position management: don’t let any single trade get the chance to crack you emotionally. Positions you can actually sleep through are truly yours; if you can’t sleep, it means the market is borrowing your body to create volatility.

Now there’s all that “yield stacking” talk about collateral/shared safety that’s getting pretty loud. I’ve been tempted too, but after you nest it layer by layer, whose risk is it really…? Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less for now—split my positions into smaller parts, stay alive first, and then rhyme later.
