Entry and Positioning
With narrative conviction holding, entry is about participation, not precision.
You are not trying to buy the exact bottom. You are trying to position while attention is still expanding.
Waiting for perfect entries often leads to missing the move entirely.
When to enter
Good entries usually occur when:
the narrative is clear but not crowded
attention is increasing gradually
participation is growing without hype
price is not extended
This often feels uncomfortable.
If an entry feels obvious and exciting, you are likely late.
Common entry approaches
There is no single correct way to enter.
Common approaches include:
entering once the narrative is clearly defined
adding during pullbacks
accumulating while attention continues to build
The goal is exposure, not perfection.
Position sizing for patience
Sizing determines whether you can hold calmly.
Good practice includes:
starting with smaller size
leaving room to add later
never risking more than you can emotionally tolerate
If you constantly check price, your size is too large.
Comfort allows patience.
Adding to positions
Adding should be intentional.
Consider adding only when:
the narrative strengthens
attention expands to new participants
price pulls back without narrative damage
Do not add simply because price goes down.
Adds should reinforce your thesis, not defend it.
What to avoid
Common entry mistakes include:
buying late after large moves
entering all at once out of excitement
oversizing early
chasing green candles
These behaviors turn conviction into stress.
How entry fits the bigger picture
Entry is only the first step.
A good entry:
aligns with narrative growth
fits your risk tolerance
allows you to hold without panic
Once positioned correctly, the focus shifts from entry to holding behavior.
