Trading circles are popularizing a position classification theory that categorizes traders' styles based on position size and risk tolerance, which is quite interesting.



**Bacteria Position** belongs to the smallest unit level, usually with a nominal value of around 5u for a trading pair. This type of position is common among signal providers and those who have struggled to recover from liquidation.

**Ant Position** is the largest group among traders. Most retail traders start with limited funds, generally in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand u, with positions valued at tens to 100u. Of course, some use this scale to test trading systems.

**Normal Position** is the standard setup for regular trading. Ordinary traders typically operate with positions worth a few hundred to a few thousand u, and experienced, steady traders mostly stay within this range. It’s a typical approach of small capital for big gains, with moderate investment and manageable risk.

**Gambler Position** appears to have full position value, but most of the time it’s just a high-leverage, all-in mentality. These traders might invest only a few hundred u but control a nominal position worth tens of thousands of u. Also called all-in positions, it’s a symbol of high risk and high reward.

**Tank Position** truly reflects top-tier traders. They operate steadily with strict money management, and these positions rarely get liquidated. Although growth is relatively slow, they are highly precise and explosive when needed. It feels like hitting the target every time.

**Missile Position** is a god-level operation—calm as a maiden, swift as a rabbit. Either they don’t make a move, or when they do, it’s a decisive strike. This requires an extreme understanding of the market and execution ability.

Behind each type of position lies a different risk philosophy and trading mindset. Finding the right fit for yourself is the first step toward stable profitability.

Well, I'm just an Ant Wallet user, dreaming of becoming a tank... but in reality, I often turn into bacteria haha Are you talking about me in the gambling dog wallet part? Feels like I was singled out Missile wallet? Don't dream about it, I can't even stabilize a regular wallet Tank wallet is too idealistic; in actual operation, who can really do it? So basically, it's just because I don't have money, otherwise who wouldn't want to take a gamble?

Haha, I couldn't help but laugh at the missile warehouse part. It feels like those people who bet right and then brag for a year... Actually, most of them are still bouncing back and forth between the Ant Warehouse and regular warehouses.

Haha Tank Warehouse sounds good, but in reality, I'm still struggling in the bacteria warehouse. Missile Warehouse is a name that sounds impressive, but I've never seen anyone actually pull it off. Gambler Warehouse is a self-portrait of my last bet; now I've turned over a new leaf. Going all-in sounds easy, but getting liquidated can happen in minutes. It seems logical and well-founded, but most people still can't escape the fate of liquidation.

Honestly, I have to admit I respect this classification system. Bacteria vault and Ant vault are part of my daily routine… I've also had the all-in gambling dog vault mentality before, a bloody lesson, my friend. Tank vault is the ideal state, but unfortunately, knowing what to do and how to do it is difficult. Most people die on the way to the tank vault. As for missile vault? Stop bragging, it's just a self-comfort for cosmic-level survivors. The worst thing is treating the Ant vault as a gambling dog vault, going all-in and immediately going back to the pre-liberation era. Finding your own style is indeed important, but even more important is not to trap yourself. The market will always surprise you.

ngl, the tank position hits different after watching the difficulty adjustments over cycles—that's basically network hashrate management for trading, except your portfolio's the mining pool lol

To be honest, the part about the gambling dog position really hit me. Going all-in with full leverage— isn't that a reflection of me last year? ... I'm still not even stable with the tank position now.

Haha, the name "Gambling Dog Warehouse" is really clever, it really hits home for me. To be honest, I'm the kind of person who keeps bouncing back and forth between the Bacteria Warehouse and the Ant Warehouse, dreaming of upgrading to the Tank Warehouse, but somehow I accidentally ended up in the Gambling Dog Warehouse... The Missile Warehouse sounds so虚, do such people really exist? Or are those guys claiming to be Missile Warehouse just lucky enough to catch a few爆涨?

The gambling dog position made me laugh, it's people like us haha, going all-in with full leverage is really exciting. The tank position sounds comfortable, but who can really do it? Promised not to爆仓 but still爆了. The bacteria position's signal calling instructor can't hold it together, that name is quite fitting. This classification is actually asking whether you want to make quick money or steadily harvest the韭菜. Missile position? I can't even stick to not going all-in. Every time I think I'm a tank, I end up realizing I'm bacteria. Ant position is probably the true reflection of traders, ninety-nine percent of people are stuck in this repetitive死循环.

That part about the gambling dog wallet made me laugh. It's basically retail investors who go all-in 90% of the time. On-chain, these accounts show extremely concentrated funds. They go all-in with a single move, and that's it—there's basically no risk management.
