These past two days, I’ve remixed a classic again: if spot goes up a little, I want to run; if the futures get me fired up, I go in big. In the end, it’s either I can’t hold the position, or I get forcibly taken out… Straight to the point, position management is just one simple truth: don’t trade with money meant to “prove you’re right.” The portion you can sleep soundly with—that’s what you call your position. The portion you can’t sleep over—that’s what you call gambling.
Lately I’ve also been annoyed at everyone complaining that miners/validators are getting too fat, and that MEV messes up ordering fairness. I feel the retail crowd is basically scraping broth off the bottom of someone else’s bowl. A few days ago, I even went to follow a “On-Chain Justice Brother,” and the more I watched, the more anxious I got—so I just unfollowed him later… Anyway, that’s what I’m doing now: test with small positions based on events, admit mistakes right away, and keep a few rounds in reserve for the next wave—better than stubbornly holding on. That’s it for now.
