Crypto industry has seen so many years, witnessing too many people come in with dreams of getting rich, only to exit with losses due to poor operations. It was only later that I realized a simple truth: in this market, losing money is easier than making quick profits.
Today, I want to share a trading approach that I have validated through multiple market cycles. It may sound ordinary, but it is precisely this seemingly simple method that has helped me stay calm amid wild price swings. The key to this approach is not dreaming of overnight riches, but using strict discipline and repeatable processes to achieve steady profits while controlling losses.
**Capital Allocation: Don't Put All Your Chips on One Bet**
My approach is straightforward—divide your principal evenly into five parts. For example, if you have 10,000 dollars, split it into five 2,000-dollar portions. This forms the foundation of the entire system and serves as the first line of defense.
Market volatility in the crypto space is normal. Spreading your funds allows you to sleep peacefully. Even if a sudden sharp decline occurs, since each single investment only accounts for one-fifth of your total capital, the damage is limited. My experience tells me that learning to allocate funds properly helps you survive longer.
Many beginners make the mistake of going all-in—seeing a coin rise and pouring all in, only to be caught off guard by market corrections. But if your funds are divided into five parts, you always hold a reserve, and you won't panic no matter how the market moves.
**Position Building Pace: Use the Current Price to Buy the First Portion Directly**
Select a mainstream coin with potential, and use the first 2,000 dollars to build a position at the current price. I avoid highly volatile small coins and focus only on those with sufficient market cap and liquidity.

That's right, decentralization really can last a long time. I've gone all-in a few times and learned my lesson the hard way.

ngl the 1/5 allocation thing is just basic portfolio theory dressed up in crypto language... statistically speaking you're just describing a 20% position sizing model, which isn't exactly groundbreaking. but contrary to popular belief, most people won't even stick to it because discipline ≠ entertainment in this space. theoretically sound though

Splitting into five parts is really reliable, but the key is to stick to discipline. Most people ultimately fail due to their mindset.

Five servings of legal listening sound good, but how many people can truly stick with it?
