From 22,000 U to 2.08 million U: My Practical Reflections on Rolling Positions
After experiencing liquidation seven times, I finally grasped the deadly temptation and hidden traps of rolling positions.
From March to September last year, I repeatedly rolled positions with a capital of 22,000 U in a trend, achieving 2.08 million U in six months.
But no one knows that I had to cut back 30% of my capital on the verge of liquidation three times—these mistakes later became my most expensive tuition.
Core Insight 1: 90% of rolling positions die waiting for a rebound.
Why do most people lose money rolling positions in a bull market? Because they confuse “adding to a trend” with “counter-trend trading.” The position calculation formula I used (key coefficient hidden here) ensured that the actual risk for each addition did not exceed 5% of the capital, allowing survival even in a black swan event.
Key Action 2: The “Stop-Loss Paradox” that 99% of people do not calculate correctly.
The stop-loss for rolling positions is not a fixed point but a dynamic consumption of trend momentum. I once used (specific indicators hidden) to close long positions before the BTC crash, avoiding a single-day -23% massacre.
The most painful realization: the biggest enemy of profit is not the market.
When my account surpassed 500,000 U, I suffered from insomnia for two consecutive weeks—I later understood that this was the side effect of “cognitive arbitrage.” True experts in rolling positions all do one thing.
Looking back now, those pressure lines drawn late at night and the trembling records taken after liquidation were the true “hidden positions” that carried me through the cycles.
(If you have also experienced being half in heaven and half in hell while rolling positions—some strategies are only suitable for specific volatility conditions.)
