I can’t seem to hold onto my spot positions—once it rises a little, I want to run. Futures are even worse: once I get hot-headed and start adding, in the end it’s either a stop-loss or getting wiped out… To put it plainly, position management is just one sentence of plain truth: don’t let a single impulse decide whether your account lives or dies. For spot, treat it like saving money—buy in several smaller batches slowly, and if it drops, don’t stubbornly keep holding all the way to “faith.” For futures, treat it like smoking—if you want to smoke, you can, but one cigarette is enough. Keep your position so small that even if you get hit with a stop-loss, you can still go on with your life.
My stop-losses are really set with more care than my food delivery—I’d rather get swept away than end up “being carried off.” Oh right, lately those on-chain data tools/tags have been getting criticized again for being laggy and possibly misleading people. I look at them, but when placing orders, I still focus first on the pool’s liquidity and slippage, and don’t let the words “smart money” get youI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
