Trading, with a small position, can still be profitable; heavy positions are not necessarily wrong. But ultimately, money management is always the core of trading.

I've heard many people praise small positions for reducing risk, and I've also seen stories of big gains from heavy positions during dips. Both perspectives have their merits, but neither is entirely comprehensive. How to choose between small and heavy positions? There’s no absolute answer.

The key depends on three points. First is your entry capability. If you often catch the explosive points of the market, then of course you should increase your position size to seize opportunities. Conversely, if your entries are always just a bit off, then a small position is more advantageous—larger stop-loss ranges make it less likely to be wiped out frequently.

Second is desire. People with strong desires naturally want to bet big, aiming to carve out a larger slice from the volatility of BTC and mainstream coins. Those with calmer desires find small positions sufficient.

The third and most critical point—how much loss can you accept? What is the maximum drawdown you can withstand on a single trade? This directly determines your position limit. Someone who can calmly watch their account shrink by 20%, versus someone who cannot tolerate a 2% loss, clearly needs different strategies.

In simple terms, whether to take small or large positions depends on whether your ability, desire, and risk tolerance align. The system that works for others may not suit you; finding your own rhythm is the right path.
