Having navigated the crypto market for years, I’ve noticed a phenomenon: many treat it like a casino, adding positions randomly and placing orders based on gut feelings when facing risks. The result? Most are educated by the market itself.
What I want to share is: **How to steadily grow through scientific position sizing in desperate times**. I’ve validated this approach across multiple cycles, and the core is the "334 Positioning System."
So, how exactly does it work? Divide your available funds into three parts:
**First part is the Core Position (30%)** — This is the baseline. Invest in mainstream value coins that have been proven over the long term and have sufficient liquidity, with relatively controllable volatility. The purpose of this part is to preserve capital, ensuring that even if the market adjusts in the short term, your fundamentals remain intact.
**Second part is the Offensive Position (33%)** — This is where profits are made. Target mid-cap coins that are currently undervalued and have real application backgrounds. Strict discipline on take-profit and stop-loss is required here. For example, gradually reduce positions when profits reach 20-30%, and decisively exit when losses hit a certain level. Emotional decision-making is the biggest killer in crypto markets.
**Third part is the Flexible Position (37%)** — This provides agility. Use it to respond to sudden market opportunities or risks. When extreme emotions dominate the market, this portion can be deployed quickly or withdrawn swiftly.
Why this ratio? Because it balances risk and reward. The 30% core position ensures you won’t be broken through, the 33% offensive position drives growth, and the 37% flexible position gives you room to adapt to market changes.
Most importantly: **Discipline in execution is more important than the strategy itself**. I’ve seen too many people understand this logic but fail at critical moments. Crypto markets don’t need heroism; they require a stable mindset and cold execution.

That's right, discipline is really the hardest. I used to think I was capable just by understanding the principles, but a single limit-down hit and my mindset completely collapsed.

Talking about military strategy on paper is easy, but few can truly maintain discipline. I am the opposite example...

Well said, but the discipline enforcement part is really difficult. I'm the kind of person who knows the 334 system but panics as soon as there's a dip, especially when I see others going all-in and doubling their investments... It's a bit hard to handle.

That's true, I'm just worried that even if I know, I still can't do it. I'm the kind of person who loses their composure the moment I see the market trend.

334 sub-accounts sound reliable, but how many can truly stick with it? I'm the kind of loser who knows when to cut losses but always holds onto losing positions...
