# Chan Theory Small Capital Three Pattern Trading System
## Pattern Overview
- Pattern One, Two: Follow Small Trend (30 minutes), light position short trades, pursue certainty;
- Pattern Three: Follow Big Trend (4 hours), heavy position main attack.
## Pattern One: Follow Big Trend, Small Structure Entry (20% Capital)
- 4-hour defines the trend, only perform trend-following operations on 30 minutes;
- Do not buy against the trend initially, prioritize second buy and third buy;
- High win rate points in small timeframes, take small segments, quick in and out;
- Take divergence rebounds, gradually take profit without greed.
## Pattern Two: Pen Central Departure and Pullback Confirmation (20% Capital)
- Only perform the first confirmation after a breakout, do not get entangled within the central zone;
- 30-minute central zone consists of 3-5 strokes;
- Clearly leave, wait for the pullback to show structure before entering;
- Set stop loss at the lower edge of the central zone or the low of the pullback stroke;
- Combine volume-price and SAR for judgment;
- If no pullback, observe if the second stroke makes a new high strongly before deciding whether to chase.
## Pattern Three: 4-Hour Third Buy Heavy Entry (80% Capital)
- 4-hour level divergence or third buy determines the main trend;
- Find precise entry on 30 minutes (second buy, third buy);
- Confirm support during pullbacks before entering, hold for the medium to long term.
## Operation Logic
- Pattern One: Trend judgment using EMA/SAR or double 30-minute central zones; wait for false breakouts or true breakouts within the central zone;
- Pattern Two: Focus only on breakout/breakdown of pen central zones, high win rate with trend resonance;
- Pattern Three: Use 4-hour to identify trends, use 30-minute to enter.
## Pullback End Judgment
- Key price level breakout confirmation: pullback high (long)/low (short);
- Auxiliary signals: small double bottom/central zone, small timeframe SAR reversal, expansion, candlestick reversal, engulfing, MACD divergence, breakout resistance;
- During 30-minute operations, can look at 5-minute structural details.
## Position and Capital Management
- Pattern Three 80%, Pattern One/Two each 10%-25%;
- Divide into 5 positions, each position can lose 5-10% of capital;
- After profit, still divide into 5 positions for rolling;
- Profit-loss ratio at least 3:1, small capital relies on position division and compound rolling to grow.
## Exit Strategy
- Pattern One/Two: Exit if the structure of 9 cycles is not completed; set stop loss at the top of the central zone or the bottom of the pullback, offset 100-200 points to prevent spike;
- Set breakeven at 1000 points profit, start reducing positions at 2000 points;
- Pattern Three: If it falls back to the previous central zone, consider it a failure, take profit as the trend ends.
## Response to Breakout Without Pullback
- Second stroke new high strong: large body, sufficient volume, no divergence → can chase;
- If in a sideways range: wait and see $BTC .
