Last night, after placing an order, I thought about position management. My operational logic is as follows—using 2000U as the standard position to open a trade.

The key is that the add-on portion must have a 100-point stop loss; this principle must never be broken. I never set a stop loss for the base position, and this combination scheme almost leaves no room for error. If something really goes wrong, it's usually a mindset issue—earning a bit and wanting to double quickly, starting to optimize the strategy, which ends up causing losses.

As for taking profits, it depends on personal character. To be honest, I am quite greedy and often wait until some profit is retracted before exiting. But the prerequisite is that the risk is locked in, so I feel at ease. No matter how volatile the BTC market is, as long as the stop loss is set properly, it’s playing within a controllable range.

ngl the 100pt hard stop on pyramids is basically just delta hedging with extra steps... but leaving base unhedged? that's just asking for liquidation theater lol

Not setting a stop loss on the core position is a brilliant move; I'm just worried about accidentally changing my mind.

The idea of not setting stop-losses on the core position is a bit risky. What if there's an extreme market situation?

Not setting a stop loss on the core position is a brilliant move; you just need to have the mental preparedness. Otherwise, if your mindset collapses, you still have to cut losses.
