Would appreciate your advice please. Q: How do you stop the wire loop sliding up or down vertically? To compare, on a wood post the line wires are typically stapled into position. Thanks.
Too tight, putting a normal strain would snap that knot at the first bend - being the tightest you made, though all were too tight in that they weakened the tensile strength too much.Also never snip with cutters, always twist off for no protruding sharp ends.

Use Tex screw on the back side, generally the wire tension is enough to hold in position.
Way too tight. The lazy D is the critical part of a HT termination knot. 🍻
Can't see much
Nothing beats going around the end post twice before tie off..
