Once upon a time, I was busy every day in front of the market—watching candlesticks, flooding messages, chasing hot topics, afraid of missing any movement. And what was the result? When the market slightly fluctuated, I either chased the high and got trapped or cut at the bottom. Seemingly busy every day, but in reality, I was just a victim being harvested by the market.



During that time, I realized a truth: blindly betting on the direction is essentially gambling with your life. Until one day, I decided to change my approach.

I gave up the obsession with predicting the market, and shifted to position management and risk control. To put it simply, rather than guessing the market trend correctly, it’s better to learn to follow the trend. After repeated practice, I developed a method—call it the Three-Layer Positioning Strategy.

**The core logic is actually simple: enter in batches and exit with the trend.**

**First Layer: Small Position to Explore**

Don’t go all-in at the start. Use about 30% of your capital to test the waters, choosing mainstream and actively traded coins. After entering, don’t rush to add more; carefully observe the trend and capital flow. Wait until others step in, then consider the next move. The purpose of this step is to understand the rhythm of the market, not to make quick profits.

**Second Layer: Add on Trend Pullback**

Any healthy rally will experience a pullback. If after the pullback, the support level holds steady, it indicates strength remains. At this point, you can add another 40% to dilute your average cost. But what if it doesn’t hold? Then stick to the initial position and don’t force additional purchases. Remember: keep some bullets, and you’ll have a chance to turn things around.

**Third Layer: Full Position on Volume Breakout**

When the market volume surges and breaks through previous highs, add the final 30%. This step is not reckless but follows the trend. It involves lower risk and offers greater profit potential.

**The Art of Selling**

I never preset target prices. I only set a stop-profit line: take partial profits when it rises 20%, and move the stop line upward with each new high. The benefit of this approach is that if the market moves in your favor, you can capture the full profit; if not, you only lose part of the gains, never get deeply trapped.

With this method, I can confidently control the rhythm of even the most complex markets. Not because I can predict the future, but because I’ve learned to follow the market rather than oppose it.

Many people think what they lack is opportunity. In fact, what they truly lack is the courage to take the first step. The turning point is right in front of you; the key is whether you dare to adjust your mindset and keep up with the rhythm.

nah, per my analysis... this three-layer allocation taxonomy is just risk binning dressed up as strategy, statistically speaking the outcomes don't diverge that much from dca 🤷

To be honest, this position management system sounds good, but in reality, it all depends on your mindset to execute properly. Don't start trading frequently again...

Laughing out loud, the three-layer position layout method sounds like the story of me getting liquidated on three different accounts while trading crypto. Wait, this guy actually makes some sense, much smarter than when I went all-in on some dog coin last time. The key is, I really need to keep the phrase "saving bullets" in my mind.

Well said. I deeply understand the words "follow the trend" and "gamble with your life." I've hit the bottom too many times.

That's right, the idea of chasing highs and selling lows should have been thrown into the trash long ago. I only realized this after being harvested myself. --- The three-layer position strategy is indeed more disciplined; it's much better than my previous all-in approach. Now I mostly operate this way. --- Moving the take-profit line upward is brilliant. No need to guess where the top is; let the market tell you when to exit. --- The most heartbreaking part is the last sentence. It's not opportunities that are missing, but mindset. --- This method sounds simple, but in practice, it's easy to break discipline, especially when watching others make quick money. --- Position management is truly the key to making money, but unfortunately, most people don't believe in this approach. --- The key is to resist the urge to chase hot topics. That's very difficult, especially when everyone in the group is shouting. --- Small-position exploration is very clever; it's like paying to learn the market rhythm. Worth it.

Sounds good, but right now I'm mainly holding my coins without moving them. I'll add to my position once the price drops to the right level, haha.

No problem with what you said, but I just realized too late. The down payment for the house I lost two years ago was all gone in the same way...
