If you want to survive in this market, position management is more crucial than any technical indicator you’ve learned.

Many people have a shallow understanding of position sizing — just "how much to invest." But it’s actually much more than that. The true purpose of position management is to tame your emotions and human weaknesses.

Try to go all-in during a crash. Panic erupts instantly, rationality collapses completely, and a slight tremor might cause you to sell at the floor price. But what if you only hold 10% of your position? The same decline becomes a negligible ripple. With stable emotions, your decisions naturally become more rational.

Don’t think position management is only for big funds. On the contrary, small funds benefit even more. With limited capital, a single out-of-control move can wipe out all your chances of turning things around. Therefore, position management is not just risk management; ultimately, it’s about mindset management. No technical analysis can replace this fundamental principle.

Strategy determines the direction; tactics are just execution details. While planning your positions well, you also need to learn how to filter market noise. Avoid being disturbed by every piece of information or every K-line jump. When your mindset is steady, your decisions will truly stabilize. This is the underlying logic for surviving in high-volatility assets like memecoins.

Full position is really suicidal. I've seen too many people get wiped out after a sudden crash. Damn, mindset is the biggest enemy; technical indicators are all fake. Experiencing a 10% position is completely different. This time I finally understand.

That's right, full position trading is like a suicide mission; when your mentality collapses, everything is useless. Having a small position is more comfortable; even a 50% drop can still let you sleep well. I've seen too many people get caught in a full position, then start gambling mentality, losing more and more, and finally losing everything. This thing is really a cultivation process; it's not something you can master just by looking at a few indicators. No matter how good the technical analysis is, it can't save someone whose mentality has collapsed—that's the truth. Small retail investors should pay more attention to this aspect; with limited funds, one mistake can be the end. Honestly, those who can control their positions are doing pretty well in this market.

Full position is basically asking for death, and that's no joke. Mindset really can determine everything, but unfortunately most people can't control it at all. You're still studying MACD, but I ask you, do you dare to leave some escape funds? With small capital, playing this way is even more ruthless. If you lose it all in one shot, you just quit the circle. Honestly, isn't the moment of cutting losses because the position was too full?

Data shows that 90% of small investors fail due to poor position management... However, wait a bit longer, the historical lows have often not been reached yet.

The people who cut meat all over the warehouse have no brains, and I have long been below 50%
