I’m the kind of person who can’t hold onto spot positions very well. Once it goes up a little, I want to “lock in the gains first,” but when I look back, I’ve been left behind. Futures are even worse—when I get an itch, I want to add, and in the end it’s not even the wrong direction; it’s the leverage that drains my patience… Put simply, position management in plain human words: don’t let any moment of impulse decide the fate of your account.

So now I hard-separate it: for the long term, I only use spot—buy it, treat it like something locked away, and forget it. For short-term trades, when I’m itchy, I only hold a small chunk—if I lose a bit, it won’t affect my sleep. I’ll also keep a cash buffer for myself. Especially lately, there have been rumors about a certain region adding taxes and tightening or loosening compliance; once my expectations for deposits and withdrawals change, market sentiment floats along too. In times like this, don’t go all-in and tough it out.

As for whether I trust data or trust intuition… I trust data more. Intuition feels too much like emotion wearing a disguise. Data at least forces me to admit it: am I really gambling, or am I just following a plan?
