Spot holdings can't be held long, and contracts are always on the verge of liquidation. To be honest, it's not that you're not working hard, but that your position is too full and you're still trying to be a hero. Here's my straightforward advice: first, set a position size that you can survive with, and then discuss whether your opinions are correct.
Don't go all-in on spot trading, leave some room for "if you’re wrong, you can still add or exit"; for contracts, it's even simpler—don't use them as a tool to turn things around, just treat them as a magnifying glass. If you're right, it amplifies your gains; if you're wrong, it amplifies your losses.
Recently, new L1/L2 incentives have boosted TVL, and veteran users complain about "mining, selling"—I truly understand... In times like these, don't get carried away. Slippage increases, emotions run high, and losses come quickly.
Anyway, I’d rather miss out now than be the bag holder. That’s all for now.
