In the battlefield of contracts, veterans know — the real secret to making big money is not in a single all-in bet, but in letting profits reproduce themselves. Rolling positions is your capital reproduction technique, while increasing positions in profit is just one of the most exciting operations.
The essence of rolling positions.
Don’t be fooled by the name; this is not mindless leverage. When you withdraw the profit portion and open a new position with a different stance, it’s like saving a game—your principal is safe, and the profit continues to charge forward. The market turns against you? At least you have locked in some gains. The trend continues? Your profitable position will grow like a snowball.
Aggressive strategies for increasing positions in profit.
Imagine you have 0.1 BTC as the principal and have earned 20%. At this point, there are two types of people:
Brute: Go all in directly, betting on the next double.
Hunter: Withdraw the principal, and use that 20% profit to re-strategize.
The latter is the essence of rolling positions—using market money to continue playing with the market, your mindset will be steadier than 99% of people.
The difference with increasing positions.
Beginners often wildly increase their positions during floating profits, only to have a sudden drop bring them back to square one. The rolling position strategy of veterans is more insidious:
Never add margin.
Separate the profit portion for independent operations.
Dynamically adjust the contract cycle.
This way, even if a black swan event occurs, you will only lose some profit and not get severely hurt.
Practical mindset.
Only roll positions when the trend is clear; rolling in a volatile market can lead to losses.
Beware of exchange fee traps; frequent operations may eat into your profits with fees.
Always keep some bullets—consider the money for rolling positions as already lost, so your mindset won’t be distorted.
The cruel truth in the crypto world is: most people haven’t failed to make money, but they can’t hold onto it. The essence of rolling positions is to teach you how to use profits to earn more profits, rather than betting your entire fortune on tomorrow. When you have floating profits next time, try to be a calm casino owner rather than a reckless gambler.
