Position management, to put it simply, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The key is to find a rhythm that suits you—considering how much capital you have, how much volatility you can withstand, and aligning with your usual trading habits. When done well, losses are limited during market downturns, and profits can be captured during upswings; if not, you might face two extremes—being too conservative and missing out on gains, or being impatient and getting caught in more positions.



It's like walking a tightrope—everyone needs to find their critical point between being aggressive and conservative. This isn't something you can master overnight; it usually takes a year or two of real trading experience to truly understand your trading rhythm.

From actual data, position management in the crypto market can effectively control risk. Based on long-term trading samples:

· When the capital is around 300,000 RMB, with a reasonable position-splitting strategy, the probability of a single loss can be kept below 10%—which is already considered a very conservative risk exposure in trading.

· If the capital increases to 500,000 RMB, with more trading pairs available and greater flexibility in strategy combinations, the probability of a loss in one cycle can be further reduced to about 1%.

· When the capital exceeds 1 million RMB, detailed position splitting and multi-strategy parallel trading can make the risk of loss almost negligible.

These numbers are not pulled out of thin air but are validated through step-by-step accumulation in actual trading. The underlying logic is straightforward:

First, risk management must be your top priority. Being patient and cautious, maintaining steady position control is always more important than chasing single big wins. When it’s time to reduce positions, do so—don't put all your chips into a coin just because you're optimistic about it.

Second, trading strategies must be thoroughly tested in the market. Theories that sound impressive are not worth much without practical data support. A truly reliable strategy should have an accuracy rate stable between 85% and 90%. Falling below this range indicates a problem with the method.

Third, don’t panic if you get caught in a position. The volatility of the crypto market means occasional being caught is normal; the key is whether you have a plan in advance for handling such situations. Good position management should be able to identify risk signals promptly and make adjustments early.

Finally, every operational suggestion should be the result of careful consideration because it involves not just numbers but real funds. The market trends of mainstream coins require a clear understanding of market cycles, policy environment, and technical analysis.

Ultimately, excellent position management is about leaving enough room for maneuver amid market volatility—allowing you to respond to sudden black swan events while avoiding over-caution that causes you to miss bull market opportunities. This requires experience accumulation and ongoing self-reflection.

It sounds like textbook risk management rhetoric, but the reality is often... when the market plunges, all of that becomes worthless paper. When funds are small, you actually die the fastest, not because of poor strategy, but because your mentality collapses and you cut all your positions. I just want to ask, how is this 85-90% accuracy rate calculated? Survivor bias, right? It sounds good, but once you miss a wave of market movement, all the position control theories deserve to be beaten. In my opinion, true position management is—only dare to move when you can afford to lose, if you can't afford to lose, you should get out of the market.

Damn, is this data real? Can 300,000 control below 10%? Why do I always lose more? After two years of trial and error, I finally learned that I've been losing even after three years. Being trapped is normal, but the problem is I’ve never seen a rebound after being trapped. Where’s the promised 85% accuracy? My strategy’s accuracy feels only about 50%. Honestly, position management is just a game of luck; all data is survivor bias. It takes 1 million to make stable profits? Then I’m doomed to be a runner-up with my 300,000. Sounds very reasonable, but actual trading is not like that at all. Suddenly remembered hearing a similar analysis last year, and then a black swan completely collapsed everything. Mindset really is the biggest enemy; anyone can talk about theory on paper. Has anyone actually followed these rules and achieved real trading experience? Share your practical insights.

Well said, I have been harmed by being too aggressive. When I had 300,000, I was truly aggressive to the end, and as a result, a black swan event immediately recovered my losses. Now that I have just over 100,000, I finally realize that having more money makes me more cautious.
