After opening a position, the market moves in the opposite direction; after closing, the price immediately snaps back. After this happens a few times, it can make people doubt their directional judgment. But often the problem isn’t the direction—it’s the match between the entry location and the position size. When the funding rate is high, positions in the same direction become crowded, and the price is more likely to fluctuate in the opposite direction. Once your position is too large, the maintenance margin and fees squeeze your effective tolerance; even if your direction is correct, it won’t withstand a normal pullback. When leverage is higher, the costs are amplified as well—after holding a position a little longer, the unrealized profit can get eaten up by fees. Directional judgment is just your ticket to enter; whether you can take profits and exit depends on whether the rules were calculated correctly. Break down the rules first, then take action. Understanding the rules and executing them beats guessing the right direction ten times.
