Have you ever experienced this moment? Seeing a "guaranteed profit" opportunity, without hesitation, going all-in with your entire position, only for the market to turn around and leave you watching your account shrink, palms sweating, mind going blank.

I've had my fair share of stumbles in the crypto world. That lesson was particularly deep—thinking I had a sure win, I poured everything into the trade, only to be hit by a black swan event, cutting my account in half. That feeling still stings when I think about it.

After years of messing around and stepping over countless pitfalls, I gradually figured out a system—The Pyramid Trading Method. It’s not just a trading technique; essentially, it’s another way of risk management. From experiencing continuous losses to gradually stabilizing profits, this method has been invaluable.

**The root cause: Why do so many people fall into the trap of going all-in?**

New traders usually follow this pattern: see an opportunity and want to go all-in, afraid of missing out on even a small gain. "All-in" is exhilarating, but from another perspective, the volatility of the crypto market is right there, and if you make a wrong judgment, going all-in means cutting off all your escape routes.

What’s even more dangerous is the mindset after a loss—adding to the position to average down. Many people think that increasing their position will lower their average cost, but in reality, this logic is flawed—losing more only makes them double down harder, and eventually, the account becomes unrecoverable. This "double down after losing" mentality is the main culprit behind many traders getting liquidated.

**The Pyramid Trading Method: Layered positioning, steady scaling**

Simply put, the essence of this approach is: test the waters with small steps in uncertain situations, and increase positions in layers when the trend is clear. It’s like building a pyramid—broad and stable at the bottom, tapering as you go up.
