# 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**.

Narrative conviction entries work best when size is small enough to ignore short-term price movement.

If price controls your emotions, the position controls you.
