Playing with crypto positions feels totally different from playing with stocks.
With crypto, you mentally prepare yourself, knowing you're gambling and speculating.
With stocks, you feel like you're not gambling, but doing value investing.
However, in this kind of downtrend, playing the rebound is still speculation—you need strict take-profit and stop-loss rules.
That's why I’ve mentioned before that for small, short-term positions, I use tools like perpdex and stock contract CEXs. From an environmental psychology perspective, using different tools helps distinguish the nature of the positions. Like this morning, after seeing the earnings report, the price didn’t drop but went up, so I jumped in for a quick scalp. Opened 5x directly on Binance, but when I realized I was trapped and it broke below yesterday’s low, I immediately stopped out and took a break.
A few minutes, a few points—battle over.
You need to clearly recognize that at this stage, you're just playing the rebound with leverage. You need to clearly recognize that at this stage, you're purely speculating, not doing so-called value investing.
