most ppl would make more money and have way fewer headaches if they just took a longer view. but everything around us is pushing the other way. fast, fast, fast, rotate, don't miss it
what being in a rush actually does, at least for me, is make me take more decisions. and every decision is one more chance to be wrong.
and with the number of tokens coming out now and how easy it is to buy them, the surface area for that just keeps growing
how i've tried to handle it, with mixed results so far this cycle:
core spot holdings that i refuse to touch. i don't even really think about them until conditions i set ahead of time get met. that's the anchor of the port
then a much smaller active book, whatever fits your risk, somewhere between zero and 20% of the port, for rotations, trades, the thing trending on the timeline. that's where the itch goes
if i notice myself whittling the active book down, that's my signal. park it back in the main bag if it's working and i think it keeps going, or in the second or third best idea.
then scale the active side way back. keep 5% or so live if i genuinely have to be in and out of stuff, and leave it there
none of this is complicated. the hard part is remembering to stick with the plan when times get good.
