Have you ever encountered this situation? Your market analysis is about 80-90% accurate, yet your account still ends up in the red. Only later do you realize that the real problem isn't about right or wrong judgments, but about not controlling your position size.

It's popular in the community to say "Entry points determine life or death, exit points are equally critical," but traders who truly survive in the market are all masters of position management. The difference isn't whether you can understand the market, but whether you can master your own positions.

The common routines for losing money are often astonishingly similar: seeing an opportunity and going all-in; the account fluctuates slightly and turns red; during a rally, increasing the position size, only to see profits wiped out during a correction; when a big trend finally arrives, there's no ammunition left. In the end, telling yourself, "My analysis is correct, it's just bad luck."

What bad luck? It's being forced into a dead end by your own position size. The essence of position management is simple—leave yourself a way out. Before placing an order, ask yourself: Will this first trade be too heavy? When something feels off, can I exit cleanly and decisively?

True trading experts never obsess over single-trade profits; instead, they care about how much fighting strength remains after a loss. Position size determines whether you can withstand the market's turbulence; it's definitely not about a single trade turning the tide.

When you stop stressing over market fluctuations and no longer use trading to prove yourself, it means you've put "survival" first. In this market, as long as you live long enough, you'll definitely catch the next wave of opportunity. That is the real way to make money.
