I’ve been “diving” for so long, but I still can’t help but say this: you can’t hold your spot positions, and your contracts keep getting liquidated. To put it plainly, it’s not that you can’t read the market—it’s that your position is too full, and your mindset breaks first. Here’s my plain-language version of position management: let yourself be “able to sleep even if you’re wrong.” Treat spot like saving money—don’t go all-in; buy in several times. If it drops, at most you’ll just be annoyed. As for contracts—if you really are going to touch them—work out the “worst-case scenario” first. Think clearly about whether if this trade goes against you and loses, you’ll start carelessly adding to the position and revenge trading. If you would, then don’t open the position. Also, recently there are always people staring at on-chain big transfers and abnormal movements between exchanges’ hot and cold wallets, calling it “smart money.” I look at it too, but at most I treat it like a mood thermometer—don’t take it as a reason to open a trade… Anyway, I’d rather make a little less now than get pierced through by a single needle again.
