#以太坊大户持仓变化 Twelve years ago, when I first entered the crypto world, I had only $5,000 and wanted to prove myself. Going all-in on every trade, chasing gains, and panic selling — I made all the rookie mistakes. After a big bearish candle, I lost 30% of my account, which dropped from $5,000 to $2,000. That was not even the worst part.

The real turning point came during a full-position flash crash — my account suddenly dropped 20%. I stared at the screen with a blank mind, becoming increasingly panicked as I added to my positions and set stop-losses, only to lose more with each move. At that moment, I finally understood a fundamental truth: position management is not about "how much money to invest," it’s about emotional control.

As long as your emotions are stable, trading won’t go off the rails.

**After Changing the Rules**

Since then, I set a strict rule: never allocate more than 10% of my capital to a single asset, and only make important decisions after 2:30 PM.

10% might seem small, but its power is immense — even if the market drops 20%, my losses remain within a tolerable range, and I won’t lose my mind. As long as my position isn’t broken and my logic remains intact, I hold confidently; if I need to stop-loss, it won’t affect my next steps, and I stay mentally prepared.

**Slow is Actually Fast**

Later, I realized that 90% of losses in the market come from the word "rushing" — rushing into trades, rushing to take profits, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to mess up.

Instead of rushing, it’s better to slow down. Wait until the trend is clear before acting, which helps avoid most of the volatility traps. Use 10% of your capital to test the waters; if wrong, withdraw; if right, add more — never fight against the market.

Some say small funds don’t need to be so particular about position sizing, but I think the opposite — small capital has weaker risk tolerance, so position size should be a strategic decision, not just technical tricks.

**From $2,000 to $800,000**

Using this "slow position" logic, I gradually grew from $2,000 to $300,000, then $150,000, and finally $800,000. Over five years, I never blew up my account, and my maximum drawdown never exceeded 5%.

Many around me chase gains with technical analysis and frequently get liquidated; I rely on controlling my positions and maintaining steady emotions, steadily doubling my capital. The contrast is obvious.

**The Essence of the Trading Chain**

After so many years, I am more convinced than ever: the logical chain of trading is emotion → mindset → response → result.

Full positions amplify fear and greed infinitely, distorting judgment; reasonable position sizing helps you maintain your psychological bottom line, keeping you calm in both rising and falling markets.

**Final Words**

After a decade of experience, I’ve learned that no technical skill can replace proper position management. If you have small funds and want to grow, don’t get obsessed with all kinds of technical mysticism; first, keep your positions stable and your emotions in check — that’s the real key to unlocking successful trading.
