The Way of Risk Management in Portfolio Management



What is the biggest fear in investing? Lack of discipline. If you can establish a rigorous system and then stick to it firmly, the rest becomes simple—just focus on your account performance.

The key words here are two: discipline and trust. Discipline is the framework, and trust is the fuel. Once you've built a risk control framework using data and logic, you should trust your judgment. Don't be scared by short-term fluctuations and keep changing your approach; that only leads to self-destruction.

There's also an interesting phenomenon: success attracts more success. Once a strategy shows positive returns, your mindset stabilizes, your execution improves, and naturally, the results get better. The reverse is also true—people who frequently cut losses and adjust often fall into a vicious cycle of worsening mindset.

So the core logic is simple: build a system → execute the system → trust yourself → accumulate wins → strengthen confidence → achieve continuous excess returns. In highly volatile markets like crypto assets, this methodology is especially important.

It sounds good, but few people can truly stick to discipline. I also often break my own rules. No matter how perfect the system is, my mentality collapses when faced with three consecutive declines, to be honest. Discipline? Trust? Let's just survive first, brother. Frequent adjustments are indeed terrible, but sometimes changing strategies saved my positions, who knows. Building a system is easy, executing it is damn hard. Honestly, it's a test of human nature. The dream of continuous excess returns is a bit too big; I wouldn't even dare to say I can keep making profits in spot trading. I deeply understand that success attracts success. Once a deal is made, the whole mindset changes. Systematization sounds very sexy, but the market often hits your framework with a face slap. Don't be scared by short-term fluctuations and keep changing your approach. Who has heard of that? It's all people who keep changing.

Discipline and trust are right, but what I fear most is suddenly changing my mind halfway through execution.

That's true, but the reality is that most people can't do it. Just a 20% drawdown and they start doubting life, haha.

The system is useless; it still comes down to mindset. I've seen even the most perfect frameworks destroyed by a black swan event. Frequent adjustments are correct, but don't overestimate your discipline. Without experiencing a true wipeout, everyone thinks they can endure. The key is to hold the supply lines; as long as the account is alive, there is still a chance.
