Lately, futures trading has been really unpredictable. The market has been moving in unexpected ways, and the high volatility is making it hard to keep a steady return.

Just yesterday, I went 100% long on POPCAT with 20x leverage. Things looked good at first, but within 30 minutes, the price came back to my entry point and I ended up making nothing on the trade.

Moments like this are making me rethink my strategy. I'm starting to feel that spot trading might be a better option for now. It’s more stable, and I don’t have to worry about getting liquidated. I’m thinking of growing my holdings in coins like BGB, SOL, and SUI instead.

But before I fully switch, I’m wondering if there’s a way to manage or hedge against this kind of volatility while still trading futures. Is there a smart way to protect my trades or reduce the risk? Any advice would really help.
