I realize that I am the kind of person who can't hold onto spot positions and is easily wiped out by liquidation in futures trading. To be honest, it's not that my judgment is poor, but that my confidence in my positions is too high. Later, I told myself a piece of plain advice: don't try to win everything in one go, focus on making sure you can get back to the table next time. Treat spot trading like savings, don't stare at every tiny fluctuation, set an acceptable "worst-case scenario" before buying; futures are even simpler, assume you'll make mistakes, so keep your position size small enough that mistakes don't hurt, and don't use leverage to "make up for it."
Recently, everyone has been interpreting ETF capital flows and US stock risk appetite as tied to crypto price movements. I also look at these, but I don't dare to take them as gospel... Today’s good, tomorrow might turn into emotional backlash. Anyway, I’ve lowered my targets: not chasing the highs, not betting on reversals, just hoping not to get wiped out in a liquidation cascade. This way, I can hold on longer. Just survive first.
