Once you have a capital of one million, you will find that the goals in your life become much clearer. Even without using leverage, a 20% increase in the spot market can earn you 200,000, which is already the income limit for most people in a year. Moreover, when you can grow from tens of thousands to one million, you have already grasped some thoughts and logic for making big money, and your mindset will become more stable. Next, it's about continuously replicating these successful experiences.
Don't always aim for goals in the millions or even billions; start from your actual situation. Bragging will only make you uncomfortable. The core of trading lies in identifying the size of opportunities; you cannot always hold light positions or heavy positions. You can play with small positions in the meantime, and when a real big opportunity comes, you can go all in.
Rolling position strategy
Rolling positions is a method that leverages significant profits in trending markets to achieve compounding effects by increasing positions. Specifically, it means increasing your position at the right time after gaining floating profits to further amplify returns. However, it is important to note that this operation should not be done too frequently; failures are normal, because in your lifetime, you only need to succeed four times to go from zero to tens of millions, which is enough to upgrade an average person to a wealthy one.
Situations suitable for rolling positions:
1. Choosing a direction after long-term sideways volatility reaches a new low: When the market has been in a long period of sideways consolidation and volatility drops to a new low, it often indicates that a new trend direction is about to emerge.
2. Buying the dip after a significant rise in a bull market: In a bull market, if the price rises significantly and then retraces, you can consider buying the dip if you judge that the market is still in an upward trend.
3. Breaking through significant weekly resistance/support levels: When the price breaks through important weekly resistance or support levels, it usually indicates the formation of a new trend, and at this point, you can consider increasing your position.
In general, the success rate of rolling positions is relatively high only under the above circumstances; other opportunities should be abandoned.
Specific methods for rolling positions
Floating profit position increase
After gaining floating profits, you can consider increasing your position, but the premise is to ensure that the holding cost has been reduced to minimize potential risks. It's not wise to blindly increase your position just because you're in profit; timing is crucial. For example:
- When your position has already gained significant profits and the market trend remains strong, you can consider gradually increasing your position.
- When increasing your position, control the proportion of each increment to avoid investing too much at once.
Base position + rolling trading operations
Divide the funds into several parts, keeping a portion as a base position while using another part for high selling and low buying. The specific ratio can be chosen based on personal risk preference and capital scale. For example:
- Half position rolling trading: Half of the funds serve as the base position, while the other half is used for buying high and selling low.
- 30% base position rolling trading: 30% of funds as the base position, 70% used for buying high and selling low.
- 70% base position rolling trading: 70% of funds as the base position, 30% used for buying high and selling low.
This method can help you respond flexibly to market fluctuations while maintaining a certain position, maximizing profits and controlling risks.
Summary
The key to rolling positions is identifying suitable opportunities and increasing your position at the right time. You should remain cautious, testing the waters with small positions, and only go all in when a significant opportunity arises. This not only improves the success rate but also effectively controls risk. Remember, trading is not just about techniques and strategies; mindset and discipline are even more important.
