24-hour countdown, Ethereum converges at the 3150 level with millions of funds confronting each other. The entire community is buzzing—some shout "Breakthrough will immediately rebound 300 points, going all-in is the way to get rich," while others scream "Break below and it will crash directly, run quickly." But honestly, obsessing over the direction is just a waste of effort.



I've been in this industry for 9 years, surviving and making money, and it's never been about correctly predicting the rise or fall, but about a set of position logic that can survive no matter how the market moves. The biggest problem for many retail investors is treating position allocation as a game—either going all-in on a gamble or stubbornly sticking to one direction, resulting in liquidation or losses.

To put it plainly, the core contradiction of the market is not "up or down," but "how to extract certain profits through reasonable allocation in high-risk, high-opportunity situations." That’s the real skill. You might be completely correct in your directional judgment, but if your position is misallocated, you’ll still suffer heavy losses; conversely, if your directional judgment is biased, a reasonable position allocation can still keep losses within an acceptable range, or even break even.

There is only one core principle: never go all-in at the decisive moment. I don’t care how strong your signals are, the maximum total position must be limited to within 10% of investable funds. Why? Even the best signals carry a 10% chance of a crash. If you go all-in and miss the move, you’re completely out, with no chance to turn around. True experts focus on long-term survival, not just one shot. My approach is to divide the position into three parts—this article will explain how to allocate them scientifically.

Position management is the right way; don't be brainwashed by the ups and downs. --- Those who go all-in will eventually have to pay the tuition. --- I remember the 10% cap figure; it feels much more reliable than technical analysis. --- It's quite reasonable, but most people can't accept it; they must go all-in to be satisfied. --- Even with the right direction, wrong position sizing still leads to losses. This hit me hard; it's so true. --- After living so long, I still haven't understood the importance of position allocation. Indeed, all my efforts were in vain. --- I feel the author's logic is a hundred times more reliable than those calling signals. --- The last sentence "scientific allocation" piqued my interest. How should the three parts be divided? --- The true money-making logic isn't about prediction; it's about surviving longer. That’s not wrong. --- I'm holding a full position and gambling big, but now I'm a bit panicked...

You're absolutely right. Going all-in is just courting death. I've seen too many brothers get wiped out with full positions. The 10% rule is truly brilliant. That's the real secret to longevity. Even if the direction is right, a wrong position can lead to heavy losses. Retail investors just can't be convinced of this truth. I agree with the logic of dividing into three position blocks. Wait until you explain in detail how to split them. The key is still mindset. When making money, there's no need to rush. Controlling risk is the fundamental skill.

Position management is always more valuable than predicting the direction, and this guy is right. I've seen too many people with correct predictions still get liquidated.

All the all-in players are dead; I just watched them one by one run away.
