Spot positions can't be held, and contracts always want to leverage more; in the end, it's either selling at a loss or getting liquidated... To put it plainly, it's not that you're bad, it's that your position size isn't disciplined. A piece of honest advice: first assume I will be wrong, how much tuition am I willing to pay for this mistake? The money you can sleep soundly with is your position size, and that little bit on top is gambling.

I now have two strict rules: if a single trade loses to a certain amount, accept defeat and never rely on "waiting"; contract positions small enough that even a needle poke won't blow up your mentality. Don't always chase the "smart money" tags given by on-chain tools; recently they've been criticized for lagging and can still mislead you. Trust your stop-loss line more than them. Anyway, survive first, then look for the next opportunity.
