Stop going all in at once; entering in batches is the way for small funds


Have you often done this: You fancy a coin, hesitate for a long time, finally muster the courage to go all in. Then the market pulls back, you get trapped immediately, and you're too anxious to sleep. You want to add to your position, but you have no money; you want to stop loss, but you're unwilling. In the end, you either cut losses or hold on stubbornly.
Where's the problem? It's not that you misjudged the direction; it's that you put all your money in at once. What small funds fear most is not a wrong call, but having no chance to recover after a wrong call.
I'll teach you a simple method called the "three-part entry". For example, if you plan to invest 1000U, don't go all in at once; divide it into three parts:
The first part is 300U for testing the waters. If it goes up, you have a position and you're not panicked; if it goes down, you still have 700U to average down later.
The second part is 300U, add when the price pulls back to a key support level and doesn't break. Note, don't chase highs; wait for a confirmed pullback.
The third part is 400U, enter when the trend is fully confirmed, e.g., a breakout above the previous high with volume. At this point, the win rate is highest, and your position isn't the heaviest.
After each addition, raise your stop loss to ensure that the profit from the first trade covers the risk of all subsequent trades. This way, even if the market suddenly reverses, you only lose profits, not your principal.
You might say, isn't this too slow? But think about it, how many times have you lost going all in before? It might be fast, but what's the use of speed? Your account is gone.
Entering in batches may look slow, but it's actually giving yourself three bullets. If the first is wrong, you have a second; if the second is wrong, you have a third. As long as one is right, all the previous small losses can be recouped.
The crypto space isn't about who makes the most in one go; it's about who survives the longest. Entering in batches is your first step to survival.

Entering in batches is indeed much more stable than going all-in. I was trapped for three months after chasing highs with my full position. Now I've learned my lesson.

The three-part method is a good approach, especially waiting for confirmation before entering the third trade to avoid being trapped by false breakouts.
