Recently, a lot of new users have been coming in. Let me explain the rough concept of the “top-position/leading position” (“head position”).


Since it doesn’t reliably retrace every day, if there’s an expectation of some continuation after a bounce, the main role of the head position is to prevent missing the move (踏空). Taking 25x leverage as an example, the head position is usually around 3–4% of the position. For example, if your account is 10,000 USDT, a head position of 400 USDT is enough.
At this stage, for short-term daily positioning, the exposure control is 18% * 25x (this positioning can guard against a black swan sudden wick of “ten thousand points” at once). If the head position is entered at 4%, then the additional averaging-in (fill) would be 14%.
For defense: if it’s a T-one (intra-day) defense, then first reduce the 4% head position, because the head position’s price is the highest. Then the averaging-in is handled in two cases:

A. If the next day retraces normally, then the originally designated long entry point becomes the averaging-in point.

B. If it doesn’t retrace to the designated range and instead keeps pressing on toward the next target, then you need to do the averaging-in at the breakout (averaging-in after floating profit expands to lock in profit / to preserve break-even and reduce loss). For example, after breaking 65,250/65,350, the resistance is 65,750. When you break 65,250, average in, then take profit from 65,550 to 65,700. Note: if you did a low averaging-in during the retrace, then at the breakout resistance you must not average in again. Because if you average twice and you don’t take profit to promptly release part of the position, the overall position becomes too large and the risk increases.
