DeFi Decoded: Manual vs Automated Position Management
You know that moment you want to grab a beer during work hours and jokingly (or not) tell your boss, “Hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right?”
That means it's also 5 a.m. somewhere else, and if that's your case, you're probably sleeping, and opportunities might pass you by. This is why Automated Position Management is essential, and we'll analyze it in this article.
The Reality of Manual Position Management
Picture this: you're trying to enjoy dinner with friends, but your mind keeps wandering to your DeFi positions. The markets are volatile, and you can't help but check your phone every few minutes. Sound familiar? This is the reality of manual position management – it's demanding, stressful, and often disrupts your daily life.
The challenge goes beyond just time management. When you manage positions manually, you're essentially trying to be everywhere at once. The crypto market never sleeps, which means you're constantly on alert for potential risks or opportunities. This constant vigilance it's practically impossible to maintain long-term.
Why Emotions Are Your Biggest Challenge
Now think back to the last major market movement. Did you find yourself frozen with indecision when prices started dropping? Or perhaps you jumped in with more than you planned when everything was going up?

These emotional reactions are completely average – we're human, after all. Fear, greed, and uncertainty can cloud our judgment at crucial moments. The problem is that these emotions often lead us to make decisions that are against our better judgment and carefully planned strategies.

The beauty of automation lies in its consistency. While sleeping, working, or spending time with family, your positions are monitored and managed according to your predetermined strategy.
