Spot holdings can't be held, contracts get liquidated, to put it simply, it's not that your judgment is poor, but that your position is too "full." One straightforward way to put it: let yourself survive while waiting for the next candlestick, even when the needle is inserted at the most uncomfortable point. Don't go all-in on spot trading; split your funds into several parts, so that if it drops, you have money to add, and if it rises, you won't end up tearing your thigh apart. Contracts are even simpler; don't treat leverage as faith, only allocate margin for that small amount you can "go to zero on the spot without affecting your life," set your stop-loss in advance, and don't wait until emotions take over. Recently, with rate cut expectations and the dollar index playing the same game of rising and falling together, volatility can flip suddenly. If you don't manage your positions carefully, even the best direction can be wiped out by slippage and forced liquidation... Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less in fees than to keep paying tuition to the exchange.
