I only realized after I started recording that holding spot positions without selling, or getting liquidated on futures contracts, isn't really about lacking skills; honestly, it's just that my positions are too full, and my mindset is being driven by the price movements. Now I tell myself in plain language: don't let any fluctuation decide my mood today or my life tomorrow. For spot, just buy gradually in parts, and don't chase after gains when it rises; if I really want to play futures, I’ll treat it as a “thrill project,” losing everything small is okay, otherwise I’ll eventually get popped by a pin.

Recently, everyone has been linking ETF capital flows, U.S. stock risk appetite, and crypto price swings into a storyline. I also watch, but I don't really want to dance along with the interpretations… The benefit of recording is that, looking back, I see my most likely points of failure: getting emotional, adding to positions, and leveraging up. Anyway, I just need to control myself first, and even if the waves get big, I’ll treat them as background noise.
