The ones who actually make big money are never those staring at candlesticks all day trying to catch small fluctuations, but those who catch the big trends. This sounds simple, but it’s really hard to do.
Recently, I’ve been using a pretty practical method—the pyramid position adding. How does it work? After confirming the trend, don’t go all-in at once; start by testing the waters with 10% of your position, and if you’re right, add another 5%. What’s the key? Every time you add to your position, use only the profits you’ve already made, not your principal.
The benefit of this approach is that it keeps your mindset steady—even if you’re wrong, you won’t take a major hit. Go with the trend, let your profits run, cut your losses—these are all clichés, but not many people can actually stick to them.

That's correct, the real issue is execution capability. The true challenge isn't in the theory but in whether you can endure.

Pyramid increase sounds good, but I still think most people can't get the profit running part, so they fall into the mentality level

Pyramid averaging sounds good, but it's hard to stick to. When a real bear market comes, I still panic.

Pyramid averaging sounds good, but I just can't control myself. I always want to go all-in at once, and I end up getting slapped in the face every time.

pyramid stacking sounds good until whale dumps on your face... been there since gox, seen every angle of this game. real talk though? most ppl don't have the discipline, they fomo hard the moment they see green. the 10% probe thing works but honestly reading institutional flow beats timing every time, ngl 🤐

That's right, but what I fear most is wanting to add to my position even after making a profit, only to lose it all in a pullback.
It really feels best to only use the profits to add positions. If your principal isn't touched, you won't panic.
I've heard this theory countless times, but people who actually stick to it are rare—most are still driven by greed.

tbh this pyramid stacking thing is basically like layering a risotto - you don't dump all your stock at once or it gets mushy, you go gradual and keep tasting as you go... actually wait, using profits to add instead of your original stack? that's literally proof-of-freshness for your portfolio lmao. not many people actually have the discipline for it tho fr
$ORDI Let’s talk about position management.
