I’ve gone back over everything again these past few days: spot—can’t hold it, and futures—are way too easy to get blown out. Plain talk version: it’s not that my judgment is bad, it’s that my position is “too serious.” A human-speak way to say it is this: first, lock in the losses you can actually afford to take—then talk about direction. For example, if a trade is going to lose me down to a certain point, I accept that; don’t act tough with your mouth while adding size anyway, turning a small pullback into a big crater. Futures are even simpler: leverage isn’t there to amplify gains—it’s there to amplify emotions. Once emotions kick in, it’s easy to start making messy moves. (That’s my flaw: my hands move faster than my brain.) Lately everyone’s been complaining that miners/validators make too much, and that MEV front-running messes up fairness in ordering—I’m annoyed too, honestly—but the more it’s like this, the less you should dream about “turning it around in one shot.” Keep your position smaller; staying alive matters more than winning one round.
