Lately I keep hearing: holding spot positions isn't enough, and contracts get you liquidated... Honestly, it's not that you're not working hard, but your position size amplifies your emotions. My own "plain language version" is: a position that allows you to sleep soundly even in the worst-case scenario—that's a good position.

These days, someone also linked ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and the rise and fall of the crypto market, interpreting them together. Hearing that too often makes me itchy to chase, and then a wave of retracement makes me start questioning life. Anyway, I’m lowering my expectations for now: not expecting to catch every move perfectly, just hoping not to get wiped out by a single fluctuation. For spot, I divide into batches and keep some bullets; for contracts, it’s simpler—avoid using if you can, and if you do, treat it as a short-term tool. Accept losses and don’t add more, “waiting for it to come back.” This way, it’s actually more relaxed.
