#Strategy加仓BTC Someone asked me a heartbreaking question in the backend: "Why do I lose money faster the more I stare at the K-line?"



My answer is straightforward—you're treating minute-level fluctuations as a life-and-death test, magnifying every rise and fall into a turning point in life. With this mindset, no matter how much capital you have, it can't withstand the turbulence.

Over the years in the digital asset market, I’ve summarized three typical types of traders:

The first type, full position all in. As soon as the coin price jitters, their palms start sweating, wishing they could smash the screen. The psychological pressure makes every hour feel like a roller coaster ride.

The second type, always holding cash and watching from the sidelines. Every time the market rises, they regret missing out, but at critical moments, they still dare not jump in. They watch the excitement all day but never participate.

The third type, half-position flexible trading. These people live the easiest, and their account curves are the most stable. Why? Because they are not driven by emotions.

The underlying trading logic is actually very simple:

Treat the market as a long-term game, not a life-and-death gamble. Don’t gloat when you make money, and don’t smash your keyboard when you lose. Every loss should be seen as a tuition fee for trading. The key is to stay alive and see how to play the next round.

To achieve this, there are three core things:

**First, don’t go all in.** When you go full position, you turn from a rational trader into a gambler. Besides praying and regretting, there’s no other choice.

**Second, don’t hold completely cash.** Without real-time exposure, your perception of the market drops sharply. You missed the bull market, and you’re still hesitating to buy the dip in a bear market.

**Third, find your own comfortable position.** This is the most crucial step.

I’ve used a practical testing method: before bed, when you suddenly see a big market move, are you excited or anxious? Excited means your position is just right; anxiety means you need to reduce your position. Too calm indicates your position is too light, and your market sensitivity is insufficient.

If you frame trading as an RPG game, a fixed reasonable position is your equipment, stop-loss is your resurrection card, and post-trade review is your攻略. When all three are in place, you can truly transform from a market leek into a semi-professional trader.

Ultimately, this is not a life-and-death battle but a patience-based ranking game. Climb your rank step by step, and your capital growth will naturally follow.

Those who do the best in this market are often those who dare to act when others are still hesitating. More importantly, they know when to act and when to hold back.

Have you thought about how you want to play?

Half-position really is amazing. That's exactly how I do it now, and my sleep quality has skyrocketed haha

Damn, I'm the kind of person who breaks out in sweat staring at the candlestick charts. Reading this article really hits home. Exactly right, half-position is the way to go; going all-in is just asking for death. Watching the market before bed makes me anxious and causes insomnia, which means I need to reduce my position. This RPG analogy is spot on; I just need a resurrection card right now. My current position is probably so light that I don't feel it at all, completely lacking market sensitivity. I used to always miss out, now I'm afraid again—really swinging between two extremes. Half-position flexible trading sounds simple, but actual execution is too difficult. This ranking match analogy is a pity; I keep falling behind. This is true trading wisdom, not just going all-in and gambling on luck.

Half-position really is my lifesaver; during the full-position days, I was directly overwhelmed with depression.
