Why do many people like to add positions with floating profits, so that a reversal will not result in floating losses faster?

What you think of as adding positions with floating profits:

With a principal of 100,000, you can make a profit of 300,000 to 1 million if you do it right, and you will be liquidated if you do it wrong.

Actual adding positions with floating profits:

With a principal of 100,000, the position is only 10,000 or even lower,

Only look for opportunities with odds of 10 times or even 100 times,

Either make a profit of 100,000 to 1 million, or only lose 10,000.

Assume a trajectory of capital changes:

1.1✖️2.8✖️0.95✖️10.6✖️0.2✖️1.09

In this trajectory, 10.6 and 0.2 have the greatest impact,

But whether there is 10.6 is not something you can control,

What you can control is that 0.2 must not appear.

This is the root of compound interest!

"Only look for opportunities with odds of 10 times or even 100 times",

this is the patience that is repeatedly emphasized in trading.
