Recently, I reorganized my past investment logic and discovered a pattern: the only thing ordinary people can truly control in the market is never the market itself, but their own position management and psychological resilience.

My investment framework is actually very simple:

Invest a fixed amount of USDT each month, and only use spot trading to build positions in BNB at key support levels. Use low leverage solely to accumulate chips; the task in a bull market is to realize gains, not chase highs. Then, conduct daily reviews combined with cross-cycle reading—use bear markets for learning and bull markets for decision-making.

These principles are derived from six years of losses:

First, never fully commit your position. I limit my allocation to within 20%, and keep the remaining USDT reserved for extreme market conditions. Second, better to miss out on gains than chase highs. Market opportunities are cyclical; the next wave will always come. Third, dollar-cost averaging is essentially a counter-human act, but time will become your best friend.

There’s a saying I particularly agree with: When the tide goes out, be prepared with a boat; only when the tide rises can you set sail. The bear market is actually a gift for those with patience, but this gift only belongs to those who truly act according to their plan.

I will continue to update the progress of my real trading dollar-cost averaging. If you also persist in this process, feel free to leave a comment below and share your experience. Let’s witness each other’s progress and exchange more freedom of choice through discipline.

Six years of losses have taught me one thing: don't be greedy. --- I agree with the 20% position limit, but when the bull run really kicks in, who can resist? --- DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) is a test of human nature. Those who stick with it make money; those who give up get cut early. --- They say a bear market is a gift, but the truth is, how many people can really endure it? --- Being fully invested is the most painful part. Every time, I want to go all-in but end up getting slapped in the face. --- It's easy to say, but executing it requires a strong mental fortitude. --- Missing out on gains is better than chasing highs and getting liquidated. That logic is sound. --- Waiting for extreme market conditions sounds easy, but the anxiety can be deadly. --- I took a screenshot of "Use discipline to gain freedom" and shared it with friends who chase daily limit-ups.

Six years of experience from losses, still the most reliable way is dollar-cost averaging. --- To put it simply, manage your hands and your mind. Market trends are actually just clouds. --- Keeping 20% of your position for big opportunities, this logic makes sense, but it's really hard to endure the bear market. --- I agree that not chasing highs in a bull market, but in reality, how many people can really hold back? --- Dollar-cost averaging is indeed against human nature. I keep thinking about whether to add to my position, but it ends up causing losses. --- The analogy of tides rising and falling is good, but you need real patience; most people can't endure it. --- Sounds very right, but every time I think the next wave won't come, haha. --- Position management is indeed the key. When your mindset is good, everything else falls into place.

Six years of losses finally taught me that this wave of logic is indeed earned with real money. Being fully invested is really the hardest part. How did you manage to do it?

The lesson learned from six years of losses is simply don't chase highs and don't go all-in. I already knew that long ago, the problem is that I get itchy when it comes to execution. DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) sounds simple, but sticking to it is really against human nature. Last time, I was so greedy that I added three times leverage, which directly wiped me out. Now I can only start over. But to be fair, your 20% allocation cap is really tough, I need to learn from this restraint. After all, in the crypto world, greedy people have grass two meters high on their graves.
