$XAU 《Ramblings—The Difference Between Staggered Entry and the Martingale》
Staggered entry: it means I plan from the very beginning how many orders to place, and at most how much position size to use—so even if the planned position is fully utilized, the overall risk remains controllable. Martingale strategy: 1—2—4—8—16, adding to the position against the trend in a multiplier-based way; the risk of liquidation is extremely high. As for Martingale, the kind described above—I’d call it geometric Martingale. Another type I call arithmetic Martingale, like 1—2—3—4. Arithmetic Martingale is actually not too different from staggered entry.
Stop-loss and “anti-orders” (holding through losses): Only when you exceed the stop-loss line and still don’t cut the position does that count as “anti-orders.” Anything within the stop-loss line is considered planned, acceptable loss cost.
If you have a small amount of capital, you can consider using arithmetic Martingale at key levels + strict stop-loss. In box-range ranging market conditions, this strategy still performs very well and is quite effective. But remember: once you’re in profit or after you’ve doubled, you should exit part of the position in time, because you never know when liquidation might happen.
$BTC Recently I watched videos in this section from EBC traders and heard the concepts they talked about. I realized that I could immediately understand what they meant, and I could also instantly recall the corresponding candlestick charts in my mind. Of course, there are also some new methods I hadn’t heard about before—I don’t fully understand them yet. This is quite meaningful. I plan to learn them one by one afterward and write learning notes and reflections.
$BTC Position control is a huge topic, and I still can’t quite get a handle on it. Opening either a large position or a small position produces completely different emotional swings. When I open a large position, my mind is tugged back and forth in line with intraminute candlesticks—it's incredibly tormenting and even affects my sleep. But when I open a small position, I completely don’t care. Profit equals position size × price movement, so I need to strictly control my position size. For BTC, volatility is low, so you can use a larger position. For altcoins, volatility is high, so you should use a smaller position. Mapped to losses: a large position means a tight stop-loss; a small position means a wider stop-loss. My largest position so far has been in BTC—30wu—which is the maximum position size I can manage at my current stage. I’ve also thought about going higher, but I’m worried—worried about huge losses, and then I won’t be able to hold on.
My current strategy is to eat the money made from volatility (here’s a big premise: currently the price is range-bound and won’t break out. If it breaks upward, then my whole strategy becomes invalid, so I would need to fully close all positions).
Then later, when there are good opportunities, I’ll train more—like on weekends when volatility is low, opening 100w and seeing how my mindset holds up.
As for the positions I currently hold, I’m still mainly in short positions. U.S. stocks are making consecutive new highs (the last time they rose that continuously was during the tariff wave). All these stocks are also at relatively high levels. Isn’t everything supposed to follow cycles? (How come U.S. stocks go up week after week, month after month, year after year?!!!) So these U.S. stocks should behave the same way. $NVDAB —NVIDIA, Google, all are relatively high (about ten points away from their previous highs). Personally, I think this is a chance to consider short positions—build the shorts gradually. Then if U.S. stocks pull back, these targets should fall along with them, with the stop-loss placed at the prior high (ATH). If you get stopped out, keep your hands in check—don’t retaliate, and don’t engage in revenge trading. Personally, I think this is an opportunity.
The above is only my personal opinion—if you don’t agree, please don’t attack me.
$KORU If this time ,there is a big drawback ,I will close all the position and take a rest ,there is always chance as long as you are on the table,just be patient
$KORU This long-and-short double-open order got stuck right here. If you just let it swing with the volatility, it’s one thing, but this morning when I saw this candlestick, I still regret it. I kept fantasizing that yesterday I should have kept the shorts a bit more balanced—then I could have eaten more. But where are there so many “what ifs”? A lot of people look at things with hindsight—many analysts/bloggers do too: they know the outcome first, then look back at the process. That’s how you can always find a theory that supposedly proves the correct result—like shooting arrows first and then drawing the target. Even many “always-profitable” bloggers are like that. So I keep telling myself again and again: right now is what matters. A good entry—once you act on it, whether it’s long or short, if you do it, it’s a huge step forward. This step is called action. Only by taking action, taking the first step, is there any chance of what comes next. Otherwise you just keep thinking—what’s the point of that? Next is the amount you open the position. At the initial stage, it’s not important (later it becomes extremely important). Even if it’s 10 USDT, it’s fine. What matters is that you use real money to validate your order-logic, to pay for your own understanding and to test your execution. If you’re wrong, cut your loss; if you’re right, hold on. Review it. And review it again and again. Only then will you develop your own judgment, and only then can you get a share of this brutal market in the blood and rain. The above is my personal, shallow understanding. I haven’t done it well myself either, but I’m trying to do it, and to learn. Just my personal viewpoint—no offense intended to anyone. Please don’t spray hate.
