Consolidation Period Retail Investor Positioning Template (Part 1)

Why are you getting washed out as soon as you enter the market?

The consolidation period is not about "few opportunities,"

but rather about too many false opportunities.

Many retail investors are not wrong about the direction,

but rather their position is in the wrong place.

1. The 3 Most Common Mistakes During a Consolidation Period

1️⃣ Positioning too full right from the start

2️⃣ Increasing leverage, wanting to "solve it all at once"

3️⃣ Entering heavy before structural confirmation

📌 In a consolidation market,

the larger the position, the quicker the loss.

2. The True Survival Logic During a Consolidation Period

Don't chase profits, focus on preventing losses.

You can wait for the direction,

but if the position is used incorrectly,

the market only needs one pullback to wash you out.

3. Retail Investor Exclusive "Three-Tier Position Structure"

🔹 Tier 1 | Observation Position (10%–20%)

Function: Trial and error, rhythm testing

Low leverage / Spot

Quick stop-loss

📌 This is not a profit-making position,

it's a position to prevent impulsive decisions.

🔹 Tier 2 | Execution Position (20%–30%)

Activation Conditions:

No conflict in the direction of the larger cycle

Located at the edge of the consolidation range

Risk-reward ratio ≥ 2:1

Rules:

Must set a stop-loss

No averaging down, no increasing position

📌 Without structure, do not activate the execution position.

🔹 Tier 3 | Reserved Position (50%+)

Completely inactive

Not participating in the current consolidation

📌 The most important position for seasoned traders,

is often that half of the capital that hasn't been deployed. $BTC $ETH #比特币流动性 #比特币波动性
