"Bro, I followed that whale to bottom fish, he made 200 U and left gracefully, I put in 10 U, and a drop of 8% directly liquidated me, losing this money is more frustrating than being robbed!"

I encounter this kind of thing every day in the crypto circle, there are always retail investors who think, 'Whatever whales buy, I buy too, following them for a sip of soup should be fine.' But just look at those hundreds of billions in liquidation data every month, 80% of them are 'copying homework' and ended up losing!

It's not that I'm pouring cold water, retail investors and whales are fundamentally different: whales have a principal that is like a 'swimming pool'; even if it drops 20%, they can still splash around in the pool; your principal is like a 'water bottle'; a 10% drop means it hits the bottom directly, how can you compare?

Instead of forcefully riding on big funds' strategies, it's better to understand how to play with small positions. I have guided hundreds of retail investors, and many have profited reliably using these three tactics; today, I will break it down for you all.

The first move is called '5% position safety line'. No matter how optimistic you are about a cryptocurrency, you should never invest more than 5% of your principal in a single entry. For example, if you have an account with 10 U, you can invest a maximum of 500 U each time, using 2x leverage. Even if the market suddenly goes against you by 10%, your stop-loss would only lose you 100 U, which is just 1% of your total principal—equivalent to losing a bit of pocket money, not affecting the core. My student Xiaolin did this; last month, when a popular coin fluctuated by 12%, others panicked and sold at a loss, but he entered with 500 U and ended up making 600 U, happily reporting to me.

The second tactic is the 'three-stage building strategy'. Don’t learn from whales who go 'all in'; retail investors need to take it slow: first invest 30% of your position in a coin you believe in. If it drops by 5%, add another 30%; if it drops another 5%, then add the remaining 40%. Last time, a certain coin dropped from 40,000 dollars to 36,000 dollars, and I used this tactic to build my position, ultimately achieving an average cost that was 8% lower than those who went all in at once. Later, when the market rebounded, I quickly made a profit while those who fully invested were still stuck in losses.

The third tactic is the most critical, called 'take profit and reduce position; greed is a big pit'. Many retail investors get carried away once they make money, always wanting to increase their position for more profit, only to end up losing their gains and even facing liquidation. But the smart approach is to reduce your position after making a profit. For example, another fan of mine, Xiaozhou, previously entered with 500 U and made 20%. He immediately reduced his position to 300 U. Later, when that coin adjusted by 15%, while others were lamenting their losses, he preserved a profit of 100 U—this is the clarity that retail investors should have!

Now Xiaozhou's account of 10 U has increased to 12 U. A couple of days ago, he told me: 'I used to envy whales for making more money, but now I understand that the advantage of retail investors is flexibility. Slowly earning with a small position is much more reliable than taking a gamble!'

To be honest, the crypto circle has never been about 'who has a big position is powerful', but rather 'who survives longer can win'. Retail investors who want to make money in the long run need to avoid comparing their weaknesses with whales; your small boat can turn around easily, and that’s your advantage!

Finally, let me say something straightforward: in the crypto circle, if you want to avoid pitfalls and make steady profits, it's not about luck, but about methods. I share the latest position techniques and market judgments on my homepage every day. For friends who want to avoid liquidation risks and earn slowly, follow me so you don’t get lost. In the next update, I will also discuss how to judge whether a coin should be entered, as having a reliable analyst to guide you reduces the chances of painful losses, don’t you think?
