Have you ever experienced that feeling? Going all-in and ending up completely trapped, watching your account shrink right before your eyes. Or holding on in the opposite direction until you're forced to liquidate. If you've ever had such an experience, this method might just save your life.



I've seen too many people who are highly skilled at technical analysis, reading charts effortlessly, yet they fall into the most basic trap—completely ignoring the importance of managing their money. Today, I want to introduce the "Pyramid Positioning Method," which isn't some get-rich-quick hype. Honestly, it's a protective shield that helps you survive and steadily profit in the crypto battlefield.

**What exactly is the Pyramid Positioning Method?**

Don't overcomplicate it. This isn't about gambler's thinking like "buy the dip, buy more when it dips." Its brilliance lies in: after confirming the trend, establishing positions in several batches, with each subsequent purchase decreasing in size. Imagine a pyramid—broad and stable at the base, tapering to a point at the top. Your first buy is the foundation, where you invest the most; each subsequent addition is smaller. Why do it this way? If your judgment is correct, your average cost will be incredibly low; if you're wrong, the staged buying disperses your risk, preventing a sudden collapse.

**Five Practical Steps (all the details are in the numbers)**

**Step 1: Initial probing and building a position (use 30% of your funds)**

Carefully analyze, for example, if BTC is holding steady at a key support level and the candlestick pattern suggests a rebound. At this point, you can deploy 20%-30% of your total funds to test the waters. Essentially, this is "scouting." Even if your judgment is off, the loss remains within an acceptable range. It reduces psychological pressure and makes decision-making clearer.

**Step 2: Set strict conditions for adding to your position (don't rely on feelings)**

Never add to your position based on intuition. You must set clear signals, such as a valid breakout above a previous resistance, increased volume during the rally, or a pullback with decreasing volume that holds the 30-day moving average—these are the real signals to add. If there's no signal, wait patiently. Don't add just because you're tempted.

Subsequent additions should decrease in size, ensuring your overall risk remains controlled. This method helps you stay in the game longer and earn steadily—worth studying carefully.

You're right, adding more positions feels like suicide. That's exactly how I got liquidated.

It's the same pyramid adding positions again... Sounds good, but how many can truly stick with it? I bet five U that most people will break after the second step.

Well said, but how many actually follow through? I just got killed on the feeling of adding positions.

Sounds good, but I only truly believed in this after being liquidated a few times... It sounds nice, but the key is to stick to discipline. I often break the rules. The core of a pyramid scheme is not to be greedy. That's the difficult part. It feels a bit idealized; real trading is often chaotic. Those who truly make money are the ones who strictly follow the rules. I can't seem to change this bad habit.

It's the same theory again; it sounds good in theory, but in practice, it's still easy to be emotionally driven.

That's right, once you've endured it once, you don't want to do it again. The key is to have discipline and not add things recklessly based on feelings.
