# Two common position management methods for stock trading

1\. Pyramid Position Management Method

1\. Target users: Leveraged investors, based on trend investing with lower risk. 2. Position operation: First position 20% of capital, second position 20%, third position 20%, fourth position 40%. If the stock price breaks after initial position, no further positions are added, prepare to stop loss. This method gradually increases positions as the stock price rises, forming a pyramid shape. Start with light positions to test, increase pullback intervention during upward trends to control risks and avoid over-intervention when trends are unclear.

2\. Symmetrical Position Management Method

1\. Target users: Investors following market trends at launch.

2\. Position operation: Divide planned capital equally beforehand, e.g. first position 1/3, second position 1/3, third position 1/3. Advantage is fixed-ratio position adding to spread risk with gradually rising holding costs. Requires fixed initial capital ratio; when expecting rises but market falls, gradually add positions to reduce costs while maintaining fixed adding ratio, forming similar position patterns.
