(One coin, how can it drop while you're holding it? The problem may not be the market, but the position)
—Position allocation is the decisive factor in whether you make money.
Many people have had this experience:
When buying a coin, you are full of confidence,
but after a 5% drop, you start to feel uneasy.
With a 10% drop, emotions explode, and you start cutting orders.
Then, it begins to rebound...
You didn't pick the wrong coin, it's just that your position is too heavy.
❗ Long-term trading in crypto, the key is not to select coins, but to allocate positions.
Position is the underlying logic of all trading systems.
Whether you can 'hold on' is not based on willpower, but on the psychological safety brought by position control.
👇 Here's a simple example:
Assume you have 100,000 U, and you invest 90% heavily in one trade,
if you lose 5%, you will panic—because your principal has already lost 4,500 U.
But if you only use 20% of your position to test the waters, even if it drops 10%, it's just a floating loss of 200 U, and your mindset is completely different.
Can you hold on? It depends on whether your position is reasonable.
✅ So, how to manage positions correctly?
1️⃣ Position = Defense, not Firepower
Heavy positions are not bravery, they are foolish bravery.
Real experts never go all in; they leave themselves a way out.
2️⃣ At least divide into three layers: Test Position / Increase Position / Decision Position
Test Position: Probe the market direction
Increase Position: Add more after confirming the direction
Decision Position: Act decisively when there is significant positive news or a breakout in patterns
3️⃣ Strictly control 'Maximum Holding Ratio for a Single Coin'
No single coin should occupy more than 20%-30% of your total assets,
especially when the trend is unclear and volatility is high, the smaller the better.
4️⃣ Set 'Take Profit/Stop Loss Points + Maximum Drawdown Tolerance'
Many people don't lose on a single coin, but they lose because they can't bear the weight when a coin drops.
5️⃣ Don't be brainwashed by 'You can't hold on because you lack faith.'
The crypto world doesn't need 'faith', it needs:
✅ Risk awareness, ✅ Position discipline, ✅ Market judgment ability
You are not a shareholder of the coin; you don't need to 'stick with it'.
In summary:
Position is the anchor that keeps you steady when the storm comes,
not a shotgun that gambles your life.
