This wave of BTC long positions earned $7,200. To be honest, if I hadn't been educated by the market in the past few months, I might have closed my position early out of impulse.

Many people ask: How do you hold onto your positions? How do you avoid getting shaken out? When is the right time to add to your position?

I’ll share a few insights I’ve figured out myself, but don’t expect one article to explain everything—if you really want to understand, you’ll need to experience some losses first to learn.

**First, about position sizing.**
I now only allocate at most 30% of my total funds, and I add gradually and with rhythm. This is completely different from a full all-in bet; if you get the timing wrong, the results can be worlds apart.

**Next, about emotions.**
I generally don’t rush in during the craziest candlestick movements. Most losses come from chasing the highs and selling the lows. What you see as "good news" might just be a smokescreen for others to offload their holdings.

**Then, about stop-loss.**
It’s not just mechanically setting a 2% stop-loss, but distinguishing between "false breakouts and shakeouts" and "real trend confirmation." Misreading these two scenarios can lead to a complete wipeout.

**Finally, about frequency.**
I operate at most three times a week, only trading structures I understand. The less I trade, the higher my win rate tends to be.

No one will teach you the full logic step-by-step. Most influencers can’t even clearly explain risk and rhythm, let alone practical trading.

Honestly, this isn’t something you can learn from a few articles. You need real money, real mistakes, to truly grasp the principles.
