Many people's position management issues, to put it simply, are too concentrated bets. Even when favoring a particular coin or asset, you should leave room for market uncertainties—black swans, sudden negative news, or your own misjudgments—all of which can wipe out a full-position order.



We need to shift our mindset from "individual stock rhythm" to "funding system." The core logic is simple: position management is strategic, while timing is tactical. Strategy determines your survival ceiling in the financial markets; no matter how good your tactics, they can't fix strategic flaws.

**This upgraded capital allocation framework is as follows:**

**Level One: Overall Strategic Position**
Decide the proportion of total funds to invest based on the market’s "energy cycle" position. This is the top-level asset allocation design, directly determining your overall combat strength. Adjust your capital input proportion according to the market stage.

**Level Two: Tactical Sub-Positions—Unbeatable Investment Portfolio (this is the key innovation)**
Distribute your total funds across different assets and sectors to prevent a single asset’s collapse from wiping out your entire portfolio. There are three iron rules:

**Iron Rule 1: Single Position Ceiling**
No single coin or asset should exceed 20% of your total liquid funds. Even if you believe it’s the next ten-bagger or a strong sector, stick to this limit. This is the greatest respect for black swans and your own cognitive blind spots.

**Iron Rule 2: Sector/Related Holdings Cap**
Within the same sector or concept (e.g., all AI-related coins or all NFT concept stocks), the total allocation should not exceed 30%-40%. Assets that seem similar actually carry compounded risks, which should be diluted through position sizing to mitigate correlation risk.

This system truly addresses the problem that most people only calculate "whether this asset can rise," but not "how much should I invest." Hope it helps with your capital management.

honestly the 20% single position cap sounds reasonable on paper, but let me guess—90% of people reading this will still yolo their entire stack into one coin anyway. the real issue isn't the framework, it's the execution gap between knowing better and actually doing better. technically speaking, insufficient discipline is the actual attack vector here, not the lack of rules.

Speaking absolutely, I've held the 20% line for almost two years, and it has really saved me several times. The recent sharp decline a couple of years ago was caused by heavy bets being wiped out.

Speaking honestly, going all-in on a single position is indeed a big taboo. I was previously wiped out because I went all-in on a certain coin, and I really don't want to experience that feeling again. The 20% ceiling line must be maintained.

That's so true. I used to be that kind of fool who went all in on one coin, and as a result, I was buried for more than half a year. The 20% cap on a single position must be strictly adhered to. Black swan events are really unpredictable and unavoidable. This framework feels much more reliable than my previous reckless buying and selling.

Honestly, the full-position single should have been stopped out long ago. Someone really dares to play like this... I need to note down the 20% ceiling, so I don't get numb again someday from being caught in some "guaranteed rise coin."

That's right, going all-in on a single position is like gambling with your life; a black swan event can directly lead to game over. I'm aware of the 20% cap, but how many people can really stick to it?
