In this market, if you want to see the long-term, position management is more hardcore than anything else.
Many people naturally misunderstand position sizing, thinking it’s just "how much money I invested," but they are completely wrong. True position management, simply put, is about managing your greed and fear. When fully invested and facing a sharp decline, the psychological pressure can lead anyone to make absurd decisions. But from a different perspective, using only 10% of your position to bear the same volatility changes your mindset entirely. Staying calm keeps your hands steady, and your mind clear.
Don’t think this is only for large capital players. In fact, small retail investors are more affected by this. With limited capital, a single out-of-control move could mean losing the chance to turn things around. Therefore, the core of position management ultimately comes down to risk control, and it’s also about managing your own mindset. No charting technique can replace this. Position sizing is a strategic aspect; technical analysis is just a tactical tool.
While managing your position properly, you also need to learn to filter out information noise. The market is noisy 24/7, and if you get caught up in the rhythm, even the most perfect plan can collapse. Use data tools to analyze candlesticks and track market trends, making your trading execution smooth. The key is to avoid being driven by emotions. Calm decision-making is the true prerequisite for making money.

Position management is about controlling greed, and this statement hits the point. My mining rig configuration is also based on this logic—seeking stable hash rate returns rather than full capacity.
The psychological pressure of being fully invested is indeed a decision killer; I've seen too many people break down after a sharp decline.
Small investors should actually pay more attention to this—capital is precious, no need to waste it.
The risk of being overwhelmed by information noise is actually greater than market fluctuations; calm decision-making is truly the strongest skill.
Position management, in simple terms, is a battle with your own desires. Only by winning can you live to see more.
No matter how attractive the ROI is, you must stay alive—that's the essence.

What happened to full-position traders now? I won't say much. I've heard too many stories of "I'm going all in this time," and in the end, they all became jokes, really.

When fully invested, your mind really isn't your own. One limit-down drop makes you start questioning life.

Going all-in on a single wave can really break someone down; I have deep personal experience with this...

Going all-in with a full position is outdated; losing your composure won't help anything.
