You can't hold spot positions, and your contracts get liquidated. To put it simply, it's not that you're slow on the draw; your position is too full and you still want to be a hero. Here's my straightforward advice: first, consider the "worst-case scenario"—if the price drops 10%, will you start clicking randomly? If yes, then your current position size is too large. Contracts are even simpler; don't treat the liquidation line as your stop-loss. Liquidation = no options left.
Recently, there's been daily anxiety over staking unlocks/token unlock calendars causing selling pressure. I’m worried too, but I’m more afraid of holding on when liquidity is thinning. Last night, I saw a big holder transfer tokens into an exchange (like 0x3a…d91), and the order book suddenly thinned out. I lowered my leverage and kept half my bullets in spot. Anyway, it's better to survive and wait for the next opportunity than to go all-in once to "prove yourself."
