Spot trading I always can't hold onto, and with contracts I love to get itchy and get taught a lesson... To put it simply, position management boils down to one thing: don't mistake "want to make quick money" for "can withstand the pressure."
I've now set a rule for myself: treat spot trading like saving money, buy and then stop watching the market; if I want excitement, only use a small amount of money to play with contracts, and if I lose it all, it doesn't affect my sleep—outside that small amount, I absolutely won't add more or cover positions.
Doing testnet activities and accumulating points is the same; when I see discussions in the group about whether the mainnet will issue tokens, I easily get carried away and increase my costs. I then ask myself: if there are no tokens or if they are issued in small amounts this round, can I afford to lose?
If I can't afford to lose, I stop. Anyway, I complain about being very diligent with my hands, but I won't be so diligent that I burn myself out.
That's how I’ll proceed for now.
