Do you remember that deep night in 2022? BTC plummeted 30% overnight, and the friends in the group who went all-in fell silent; someone took a screenshot of the liquidation record, losing everything. Meanwhile, old Zhang next door quietly sent a message: 'The ETH buy order placed at 8 o'clock has been executed.' The bullets in his account will never run out...
Positioning is not a numbers game, it's a life-and-death line. When heavily invested, K-line fluctuations feel like a heart monitor; when lightly invested, market fluctuations are just background music. True winners in the crypto world master these three iron rules of positioning earned through blood:
One, Averaging down is like grocery shopping: Never let your wallet hit the bottom
Retail investor operation: 100,000 principal goes all in on a certain 'hundred times coin', after dropping 30% can only lie flat and play dead.
Expert Strategy:
The first position must not exceed 5% (100,000 principal only buys 5,000 yuan)
Average down once every 15% drop, doubling the position (5,000 → 10,000 → 20,000)
Complete averaging down three times and stop immediately
Miracles Happen: The price dropped from 10 yuan to 5 yuan, but your cost is locked at 6.8 yuan. If it rebounds to 7 yuan, you profit!
Two, Taking profits is like selling melons: harvest one batch, cut one batch
When your coin skyrockets by 50%, don't let 'the pattern' kill you:
Sell 30% when breaking previous high → Recoup principal
Accelerate and sell 40% → Lock in profits
Leave 30% for profits to fly → No pain for skyrocketing, no heartache for plummeting
Three, Diversification is an Art: 3 baskets are just right
Deadly Mistake 1: Full investment in AI sector
Deadly Mistake 2: Buying 20 small coins
Gold Configuration:
Leading coins (BTC/ETH) account for 40% → Ballast
High potential sectors (DeFi, Layer 2, RWA) each 20% → Offensive spear
Single coin position ≤ 10% → Prevent sudden death
Bitter Lesson: A player stubbornly held onto a certain exchange platform coin, losing 60% and still not cutting losses, ultimately going to zero. Remember: Losing 50% requires a 100% increase to break even, but the principal is permanently lost!
