Trading for 7 years, with funds growing from 20,000 to over 30 million, my trading system always revolves around a core principle: five-part position management, steady and prudent.



This method allows me to achieve an average monthly return of 70%, and traders I’ve mentored have doubled their accounts within three months. Today, I want to share this fully tested position management philosophy.

**The Power of Position Allocation**
Divide your funds into 5 parts, entering only one-fifth each time. What are the benefits of this approach? If you set a 10-point stop loss, a single mistake only costs 2% of your total capital. Even five consecutive mistakes would only result in a 10% loss. Conversely, if your take profit is set above 10 points, your chances of making money increase significantly.

**Trend is King**
How to further improve your win rate? Two words—follow the trend. Every rebound during a downtrend is a trap for more losses, and every pullback during an uptrend could turn into a golden opportunity. Buying on dips has a higher probability of profit than trying to catch the bottom, which many people don’t understand.

**Avoid High-Position Coins**
Coins that have surged rapidly in the short term, whether mainstream or small-cap, should be avoided. Opportunities for multiple major upward waves are rare, and after a sharp rise, further increases become more difficult. When a coin is stuck at a high level and shows stagnation, it’s hard to push it higher later, and it will naturally decline. The logic is simple, but some still want to take a gamble.

**Technical Indicators as Reference**
MACD is a useful tool. When DIF and DEA form a golden cross below the zero line and break above zero, it’s a sign to enter the market confidently. When MACD forms a death cross above zero and moves downward, it’s a signal to reduce your position.

**The Biggest Pitfall: Losing and Adding More**
Adding to a losing position has ruined many retail traders. The more you lose, the more you add, and the more you add, the more you lose—this is the most taboo practice in trading, pushing yourself toward disaster. Remember this iron rule: never add to a losing position; only add when you’re in profit.

**Trade Only Rising Assets**
The most reliable and time-efficient approach is to only trade assets in an uptrend. A turn upward on the 3-day chart signals short-term upward movement; the 30-day chart indicates medium-term; a turn on the 84-day chart marks the main upward wave; and a turn on the 120-day moving average signifies a long-term upward trend.

**Review is a Must**
Every trade must be reviewed. Check whether your holding logic still holds, whether the weekly K-line trend matches your previous judgment, and whether the trend has changed. Adjust promptly to survive longer in the market.

The five-part position management system is really excellent, but it's hard to execute. Most people still can't hold on, and once they incur a loss, they want to go all-in to recover.

The five-fraction position strategy is something I've used before, and honestly, it's all about psychology. Don't be fooled by simple numbers; very few people can execute it properly, most are still being driven by emotions. --- Seventy percent a month? No hype, no black, this data needs to be tested through a complete bull and bear cycle to be meaningful; single-round gains and losses are prone to survivor bias. --- The part about losing more and then topping up hits a nerve—many people get liquidated just because of this mindset. It really should be etched in your mind. --- It's well said, but the key is execution. Most people, after five minutes of reading, will go back to full position and gamble all in. --- I think the MACD method is a bit outdated, but combined with position management, it can indeed reduce risk. This logic is sound. --- Avoiding high positions is the most practical; even when you see the limit-up, you have to hold back. This truly tests human nature. --- Only trading in an uptrend... sounds easy, but judging trend reversals is always the hardest. Everyone knows about the lagging nature of indicators.

A 5% position sounds good, but the key is that most people simply can't execute it. A wave of decline makes them panic. It's easy to say, but I've seen too many people keep buying the dip as they lose more. I believe that guy doubled his holdings in three months, but what happened afterward? I've lost quite a bit on coins at high levels before, so now I only focus on low-entry strategies. Reviewing your trades is indeed necessary, but how many people really do thorough reviews every time? An average monthly return of 70%? I have some doubts about this data; it depends on how it's calculated.

A five-minute position sounds good, but how many people can really stick to it? Most people still can't break the bad habit of going all-in. I have deep experience with the "buy more as you lose" approach; last year I almost went bankrupt because of this idea. A monthly average return of 70%? It feels even more impressive than some fund managers, which is a bit unbelievable. I agree with the concept of riding the trend; reverse operations are the fastest way to get wiped out. You definitely need to avoid coins at high levels. I've seen too many people buy into altcoins at high prices and then get trapped. Just want to ask one question: have you experienced any major drawdowns over these seven years, and how did you get through them? I've heard MACD golden and death crosses a hundred times, but the key still depends on the size and volume coordination. Reviewing past trades is indeed useful, but most people end up repeating the same mistakes the next day, haha.

The five-percent position strategy is actually something I've been using for a while, but a monthly average of 70%? That number sounds a bit suspicious. I still need to run backtests myself to see what the actual win rate is.
