Recently, I saw someone ask in the forum: The market trend is right, why am I still getting wiped out? My answer is straightforward—most people simply don't manage their positions.

The truth about losses in the crypto world is often very simple: it's not that the direction is wrong, but that the operations are chaotic. When the price rises a little, they want to sell everything; when it dips a little, they rush to add positions; when there's a rebound, they can't resist going all in. The more reckless the operations, the faster the blood loss.

I want to share a relatively practical position management approach, which might save your wallet more than studying thirty indicators.

**Stage One: Small-Scale Testing**

Suppose you have 10,000 USDT in your account, and you're bearish on a certain coin. Don't rush to go all-in; start with a 5% position for a test order. Leverage must be used responsibly, and stop-losses should be tight. If there's no clear signal, just stay put. Losing less is winning more.

**Stage Two: Use Profits to Fire**

Once the test order shows floating profits, start to roll. When you earn 50%, take half of the profit to add to your position. If the market continues to break down, use the remaining floating profit to add a second layer. Throughout this process, you're using the money earned to "fight," while the principal remains untouched. Even if the market reverses later, the loss is only the profits already made; the principal stays safe.

**Stage Three: Lock in the Bottom Line and Ride Big Trends**

When floating profits exceed the size of the principal, consider hedging. Lock in the core position to prevent sudden reversals. When the market enters an acceleration phase, add a light position to catch the final rapid rise.

After completing this system, you'll realize one thing: truly trending markets don't need daily predictions; just focus on following the trend and riding it. Many people spend every day immersed in indicators and models, but the key moments are often just those 3 minutes—can you withstand the emotional pressure?

If you're still stuck in the cycle of reckless topping up, running around, and adding positions randomly, you'll never keep up with the market's rhythm. Rolling positions isn't some secret to instant wealth; it's a system that helps you survive longer in the market. Correctly judging the trend isn't hard; the hard part is actually protecting the profits you've made and continuing to grow them.
