#Strategy加码BTC配置 The Truth About Liquidation: You Haven't Learned How to Manage Your Position



There is a group of people in the market who go all-in as soon as they enter, risking their entire account—10,000 dollars wiped out instantly. They imagine doubling their profits with just a 2% increase and panic to cut losses at a 5% decline. They treat trading like gambling—winning big when right, losing everything when wrong.

This is not an isolated case. Data shows that 80% of beginners' liquidations are not due to misjudging the market but stem from extremely chaotic position management.

Many people made quick money early on and, as a result, lost even more later. I have seen accounts drop from 100,000 to 3,000, or even worse. Their common trait is always swinging between overexertion and complete retreat.

It was only later that I realized that those who survive the market are often not the biggest earners but those who can afford to lose.

Change begins with a decision: profit breeds profit.

In every trade, I start with the smallest test position. Only after the market confirms my judgment do I gradually add to the position, and I cut losses immediately if wrong. This approach may not seem exciting, but it ensures steady account growth and a healthier mindset. Others call me "conservative," but this stability is a lesson paid for by losses.

In a no-position state, I can go days without touching the market, avoiding false signals. Once I get the rhythm right, I dare to fully understand the core waves. This is not gambler's mentality but a rational execution based on position control rules.

People who fail in the market rarely die because of the market itself; more often, they die from emotional outbursts and unrealistic fantasies. If you want to truly turn things around, stop those disorderly opening of positions, heavy bottom-fishing, and risking your principal. Opportunities are always there, but the prerequisite is having a healthy account and a clear mind to seize them.

Speed doesn't matter. As long as the direction is correct and the rhythm steady, this path is always under your feet. The market never lacks opportunities; what everyone lacks is the ability to build a stable profit system.

Wow, this article hits too close to home. I'm the kind of fool who goes all-in... Only after experiencing the pain do I realize that it's not the market's problem at all, but purely my own self-destructive behavior.

Exactly right, but execution is difficult. I'm the kind of full-position trader who gets a brain buzz at just a 2% increase, and in the end, my account drops from five figures to three figures... Now I'm slowly learning the feeling of holding cash, and my mindset has definitely improved.

To be honest, the full-position strategy should have been phased out long ago, yet some people still go all in to send money.

That's right, position control is truly a skill and more important than technical analysis. I stopped going all-in a long time ago. I've seen too many people push all their chips and then be unable to sleep at night—it's too intense and easily leads to mistakes. Starting with small positions to test the waters and gradually increasing the position size—although the profits are not as quick—definitely keeps the mindset much more stable.
