After many years of crypto trading consulting, the most common problem isn't poor technical skills but poor position control. Those who "make money and then lose it" are nine times out of ten falling into this trap.

Recently, a student used my rolling position method and grew his initial capital from 3,000U to 9,700U in just 3 weeks, completely changing his previous frequent liquidation situation.

This guy had been trading crypto for two years, with a typical short-sighted mindset—going all-in right away, with no stop-loss set. As a result, he had been liquidated several times and was almost hopeless.

When I explained the rolling position strategy to him, I didn't talk about complicated theories but clarified the core logic:

Use a small part of the principal to test the waters first. As long as there's profit, treat the earnings as "ammunition" to open the next trade. Even if there's a loss later, it only eats into the previous profits, not the principal.

For example, only invest 20% of the principal in the first trade. Once you gain 2%, take the profit off the table, and use the remaining profit to continue trading.

I also summarized three checkpoints before opening a position: check market sentiment—if there are many "must rise" comments on the screen, hold off; observe the main funds—only enter if there are clear accumulation signals; assess your own state—if you're feeling uncertain or want to gamble, don't trade.

He strictly followed these steps, no longer went all-in, and didn't follow signals in hype groups, taking each step steadily.

Later, he said that even if he earns 100U now, he's not in a rush to withdraw; instead, he uses that money to open new trades—if he loses, his principal isn't harmed, and his mindset remains very stable.

This is the key difference I often mention: most people rush to withdraw profits after earning a little, feeling secure; but those who can make stable, long-term profits treat profits as "rolling bullets," pushing them upward round after round.

Rolling position operations don't need to be perfect every time. Winning 6 out of 10 trades can keep the account steadily doubling. The crypto world is never short of luck; what’s lacking is disciplined execution.

Watching him shift from the retail mentality of "wanting to get rich quickly" to a rational approach of "protect the principal first and then expand profits," I feel even more gratified than he does—this is the way to survive long-term in the market.
