I never back down from contract rolling operations. Watching the risk change hands, I often perform opposite trades as well. But when it comes to spot holdings, many people still have doubts—can't hold on, chasing highs and selling lows—everyone has this old problem. The difference lies here: trading contracts emphasizes flexibility, with decisive stop-loss and take-profit; spot traders are tested on their mindset and vision, they must hold steady. Both methods have their difficulties—contracts require trading skills and risk management, while spot trading relies on understanding market cycles and execution ability. When the market is good, everyone makes money—it's just a matter of who can survive longer and stay more stable.

ngl the real alpha isn't in contracts vs spot, it's orchestrating which narrative wins. most people are just gambling while thinking they're strategizing lmao

You're right, spot trading is the toughest test of your mindset.

I just can't hold onto spot, got greedy, and want to sell whenever it drops.

Spot trading is really a psychological barrier, and I can especially understand the curse of chasing highs and killing lows.

Spot trading is really a mental challenge; with contracts, you can at least set stop-losses and run when needed. Holding spot positions tests your patience the most.

Spot trading really tests human nature. I have no problem with stop-loss in contracts, but spot trading easily leads to self-deception.
