I reviewed myself again these past two days: I can’t hold my spot positions, and with contracts I keep thinking, “just hold on a little longer.” To put it plainly, it’s not that I can’t read the charts—it’s that I haven’t managed my position size. The human-language version of what I mean is: first, cut out the part that will make you lose sleep; otherwise, when volatility comes in, you’ll only be able to operate based on emotions. You won’t even be able to hold your spot positions steadily, and contracts are even more likely to get swept out of the game.

Now I’ll first set a strict cap on my total position, then split what I want to do into smaller portions—whether it’s grid trading or trading in batches. If I make a mistake, I can still recover. As for contracts, it’s even simpler: if I can avoid using them, I won’t. If I really have to use them, treat them like a short-term tool—don’t take them as a matter of faith. Recently, those kinds of messages about tax increases and compliance tightening up and then loosening again—what they really affect is your expectations for deposits and withdrawals. When everyone feels uneasy, they’re more likely to add positions in a chaotic way… So I remind myself: don’t rush to drink hot tea—whoever gets burned is always the hand. That’s it for now. Good night.
