I used to think: spot trading is just holding casually, while futures require risk control... As a result, when spot prices pull back, I impulsively cut, and when futures get emotional, I add leverage. In the end, either I sell out completely or get liquidated, which is quite fair.
Now, one simple sentence: your position size is your emotional valve. If the valve opens too wide, the market moves a little, and you collapse. My approach is a bit rough: first calculate "the worst case loss I can sleep through," then work backwards to determine how large a position I can take; futures are even simpler, assuming I will slip up, so I use ridiculously small positions with strict stop-losses—survival is more important than profit.
Airdrop season and these point tasks are the same, anti-witch-hunting makes it feel like clocking in for work. Honestly, it’s just forcing you to increase "time leverage." Don’t treat your energy as free capital; if you push too hard, your mentality will break first. That’s it for now.
