Why is position management so important? Simply put, it is risk management. To go a bit deeper, it is actually about mindset management.

No matter how strong technical analysis is, it cannot replace reasonable position allocation. This is the fundamental difference — positions belong to the strategic level, while candlesticks, indicators, and other tools are just tactical tools. If the strategy is wrong, no matter how good the tactics are, they are useless.

In reality, many traders' problems are not with technology but with being led astray by market noise. Information overload and public sentiment fluctuations can easily disturb your mindset and rhythm. At this point, you need a personal information management system to help filter out noise and stay clear-headed. True calm decision-making comes from rational observation of the market, not from being driven by anxiety.

Remember: controlling your position size limits your risk; maintaining a steady mindset allows you to go further.

That's so true. I was previously captivated by the candlestick chart, and ended up going all-in, which completely shattered my mindset. Now I understand that position size is the real stabilizer.

That's correct, position size is the line between life and death. No matter how strong the technique is, it can't save someone who shoots wildly at birds.

That's right, I've been trapped by positions before, and no matter how fancy the technical analysis is, it can't save me. Now, as soon as my mindset wavers, I reduce my position—it's more effective than anything else.

That's so true. I used to be the kind of fool who gets carried away by news, chasing gains and selling at losses every day, always fully loaded, and then a wave of correction would wipe me out. Really, no matter how good the technology is, it can't save a bad position. That's a blood and tears lesson. Now I stick to one rule: never exceed 50% of the total funds. My mindset is strong because I can afford to lose. It feels like the entire crypto circle is tempting you to go all in, but only those who understand position management are the ones who make it to the end. This article hit me hard. Now, every time I think about increasing my position, I remember this sentence. It has saved me several times.
