Full position to start? Better to test the waters first



The most dangerous thing on the first day of trading isn't the market itself, but emotions. Seven days without action, and fingers are already starting to itch. Seeing red candles makes you want to rush in, breaking through makes you want to chase — this isn't a signal, it's impulsiveness.
A mature trader's first trade of the day is usually a "test order." Enter with a small position, observe market feedback, then decide whether to add more. Because after the holiday, the capital structure will change, and the strong momentum may not continue.
The first coins you focus on are usually those with volume and trends during the holiday. The logic is simple: strong assets are more likely to continue. But the real key is whether the pullback can hold steady. Without confirmed breakouts, it's just fireworks.
Starting with a full position sounds impressive, but the market doesn't reward courage; it rewards discipline. Gradually building positions, setting stop-losses, controlling position size — these may sound simple, but they are the real positive signals for the first wave of the Year of the Horse.
For the first trade of the day, don't aim to make the most money, just avoid mistakes. Maintaining a steady rhythm is more important than catching the right direction.
