The biggest enemy in cryptocurrency trading is often yourself. Especially when trading perpetual contracts, boredom can drive you to enter positions that are completely unnecessary. The mindset of "just opening a position to pass the time" is precisely the breeding ground for liquidation. The key is self-discipline—learning to refuse impulsive entry signals. True trading discipline is not about how much you can earn, but about how well you can resist making unnecessary trades. Every time you successfully hold back and don't click the open position button, it's like surviving another round.

Hovering your finger above the button, mentally saying "This order shouldn't be placed," this is my current daily practice... really, it's even harder than bottom-fishing.

Really, this is the curse of perpetual contracts. Bored for two minutes and want to open a position, and then you can never go back.

Yeah, that hits home. I'm the kind of person who wants to place an order when I'm bored, but I end up losing money every time.

Handshake, you speak too honestly. I'm the kind of person who opens orders just out of boredom, and I've already blown up several times.

You're absolutely right. Boring order placements are definitely my nightmare, and I always lose the most.

Exactly right, the itch to open positions is the number one killer of perpetual contracts... Now, every time I want to place an order, I ask myself again, is this really necessary, or am I just looking for something to do? 99% of the time, it's the latter haha
