I've seen too many people go broke overnight, and I've also seen those who made money relying on luck ultimately lose it all through their own mistakes. The cruelest truth in this market is: celebration is temporary, discipline is eternal. Today, we'll discuss position management, which may be more valuable than chasing ten "wealth secrets."



1. Position Control: Survive to Keep Playing
I divide my funds into 5 parts, only moving one-fifth at a time. For example, with a 100,000 yuan capital, I invest at most 20,000 yuan each time, setting a 10% stop-loss—if wrong, only 2% of total funds are lost; it takes 5 mistakes to lose 10%. But when correct, the profit margin can reach over 10%, covering losses and allowing long-term snowball growth.
Many people go all-in right away, either as gamblers or naive investors. Crypto volatility is ten times more intense than the stock market, and a single slip can lead to liquidation. Testing with small positions and increasing on profits—this is the core logic of institutional traders, but retail investors often ignore it.

2. The Trend Is Your Amulet; Don’t Fight the Market
Rebounds in a downtrend are often traps; only corrections in an uptrend are golden opportunities. I only buy low within an upward channel, never bottom-fishing during sharp declines.
How to judge the trend? Look at moving averages:
3-day MA trending up: short-term opportunity;
30-day MA trending up: medium-term trend;
120-day MA trending up: possibly the main upward wave.
Don’t blindly believe “if the coin price drops enough, it will rise”—haven’t Luna and FTX lessons been painful enough? When the trend breaks, run!

3. Control Your Hands: Avoid Two Types of Coins
Coins that have surged short-term:
Whether it’s Dogecoin or new altcoins, a big rally usually means retail investors are taking over. High-level stagnation will definitely fall; don’t bet you can escape at the top.
Coins with broken fundamentals:
Team跑路, code停更, exchange delisted—once caught in these, they may never recover to zero.
I only invest in coins with a clear narrative, active communities, and healthy technicals, like this cycle’s AI+crypto and leading chain games. Missing out on market moves you don’t understand is not a loss.

4. Technical Indicators Are Tools, Not Bible
MACD’s zero line is a key dividing line:
DIF and DEA crossing above zero and breaking through: bullish signal, consider adding;
Death cross above zero: reduce position.
But indicators lag! Volume and price are the soul: a breakout with increased volume after consolidation may signal a start; high-volume stagnation at high levels likely indicates distribution.

5. Two Iron Laws That Go Against Human Nature
Profit is for adding positions; loss is for cutting:
Many keep buying as prices fall, ending up as “shareholders” of losses. Averaging down amplifies mistakes, not self-rescue! Only when profits prove your judgment correct should you add.
Set quick stop-losses and slow take-profits:
Cutting at 10% loss is easy; at 50% loss, it’s hard. Use mechanical stop-losses to prevent emotional interference.

Final Words
In this market, slow is fast. My brother doubled his capital in 4 months last year using this method—not through reckless gains, but through small losses, small profits, and compound accumulation.
If you’re always driven by emotions, better to split your funds into a “training account” and a “main account”: use the training account to test and find your feel, and the main account only for confirmed opportunities.
Markets never sleep, but money is reserved for those who last long.

Trading cryptocurrencies is not just a contest of skill and luck, but also a test of mindset and wisdom. Only those who master these iron laws and strictly follow them can remain undefeated in the crypto world!
