The most testing aspect of human nature in the crypto world is never the market fluctuations themselves, but rather the mindset and execution when facing volatility. Many people enter the market full of passion, only to regret at the first major correction, or get caught up chasing highs, ultimately getting completely wiped out. In fact, these pitfalls can all be avoided through a systematic position-building method.

I call this method the "253 Batch Positioning Strategy." The core idea is to allocate funds in three stages, ensuring that each investment can withstand testing. Taking BTC as an example, suppose your principal is 100,000. How should you allocate it to both control risk and seize opportunities?

**Stage One: Light Testing (20%)**

Invest 20%, which is 20,000 yuan. What is the purpose of this amount? It’s to let you familiarize yourself with the market rhythm. Many beginners make the mistake of going all-in at the start, only to panic when the market swings. With a lighter position, psychological pressure is reduced, allowing for clearer observation. Even if this 20,000 is completely lost, it remains within your psychological tolerance and won’t affect your subsequent judgment.

**Stage Two: Gradual Averaging (50%)**

The remaining 50%, or 50,000 yuan, is your main capital. But don’t rush to deploy it all at once. Instead, follow the market trend to stagger your entries. If the market rises? Hold steady, and consider adding positions only after a clear correction. If the market falls? That’s an opportunity. Follow the rhythm of "adding every 8% decline, with 10% of the position each time," to gradually increase your holdings.

What’s clever about this method? It helps you average down your cost. No matter how the market fluctuates, your average cost keeps decreasing. Even if you entered at a high point, subsequent lower entries can bring your overall cost down, preventing you from being stuck by a single peak.

**Stage Three: Confirm the Trend (30%)**

Wait until the market shows a clear direction—for example, BTC breaks through a key resistance level and doesn’t fall back—indicating the trend is stabilizing. At this point, deploy the final 30%, or 30,000 yuan.

Why design it this way? Because confirming a trend costs less than predicting one. Instead of guessing whether the market will rise, wait until it actually does, then follow. Although this might mean missing some of the absolute lows, it completely avoids chasing highs and getting caught.

**Mindset Is the Key to Victory**

This method may seem a bit "dumb" because it doesn’t offer the thrill of doubling your money instantly. But it’s precisely this "dumbness" that allows you to survive longer. The crypto space isn’t short of smart people; what’s lacking is the discipline to resist greed and avoid chasing highs, and the self-control to not panic sell during dips.

Currently, the market is still oscillating, and every day you see people getting wiped out due to chasing highs or panicking and selling at a loss. If you use this systematic approach, spreading out your position-building phases with clear goals at each stage, execution becomes more solid. You don’t need to wait for the perfect entry point because you’re not betting on a single point—you’re betting on a range and a trend.

Finally, I want to say: methods that can reliably generate profits are often simple. Complex operations are prone to execution errors, while simple methods help you stick to your plan. In the crypto world, persistence is worth more than intelligence.
