I find that many people can't hold their spot positions, and their futures contracts keep getting liquidated. To be honest, it's not that they can't read the charts, but that they can't control their positions: before you buy, think clearly about "what's the worst loss I can sleep through for this order," if you can sleep through it, then place the order; if you can't, then reduce it until you can sleep. Don't go all-in on spot trading; leave some bullets so you won't panic and cut your position after a single retracement. Futures trading is even simpler—don't rely on "I think it will go up" as risk control. When leverage is on, volatility, slippage, and a few MEV tricks can make your stop-loss more expensive than you think. Recently, discussions about modularization and the DAO layer have excited developers, and it's normal for users to be confused. The newer the narrative, the easier it is to get hooked; when you're hooked, you should adjust your positions to "stay alive." For now, I'll go recheck the slippage and routing for my commonly traded pairs, and decide tomorrow whether to make a move.
