I recently realized that my hands are quite divided: when there's a green in spot trading, I want to run; when there's a red in futures, I want to add; in the end, I either can't hold on or get pierced by a needle. To put it plainly, position management boils down to one straightforward rule: write down how much you're willing to lose first, then decide how much to buy; don't do it the other way around—get emotional first and then pray the market makes sense.



I'm handling it more roughly now: treat spot as the background, slowly build a small position, and don't rush to wipe it out when it drops; treat futures like stickers, if you stick them wrong, tear them off, and accept the stop-loss when it hits, no emotional attachment to the market. By the way, I've been watching the recent testnet incentives and points wave—everyone's guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens... I also want to grab some, but only use the amount that I won't mind losing to play, after all, the most stable points are usually earned by paying tuition (a slight irony). Anyway, survive first so I can keep fighting to build.
