I often talk about 'rolling positions'

In my eyes, this is almost the most stable and risk-resistant way to trade contracts

To put it simply, as long as you have a sense of rhythm and follow this logic, the probability of liquidation is basically zero

Many people ask me, how exactly do you roll positions? Is it very complicated?

Actually, it's not difficult at all. I will share the approach I have been using:

How to roll in an uptrend?

Only go long, don't hesitate, but the position size must not be heavy.

I generally only use one-third of the 'bullets' I have

As the market goes up, whenever it reaches a clear resistance level, I first take profit on one-third, securing my gains

Wait for it to pull back, then add back that one-third long position

Setting take profit orders in advance at the two resistance levels above is a strategy I often use

I’m worried about a sudden spike followed by a drop, so setting orders in advance can maximize profit locking

Finally, leave a small position to aim for the high point, and exit when it hits the stop loss on a pullback, don’t get attached to the trade

How to roll in a downtrend?

Go short, the logic is the same as in an uptrend, also only use a maximum of 1/3 of the position.

Every time it hits a support level, I take profit on one-third, and wait for it to rebound before adding back the short

I will also set take profit orders in advance at the two support levels below to prevent a sudden acceleration downwards, just to secure the gains

Still the old rule, leave a small position to ride it down to the bottom, and exit on a rebound stop loss

How to hedge?

This tactic is not commonly used and depends on the market

Only when the market is stuck in a large triangle, oscillating sideways for one or two weeks, not going up or down, will I open low long + high short positions together to hedge

This situation is relatively rare, and regular traders should not attempt it lightly, as it may just lead to a mental breakdown

In summary, rolling positions is about stretching the rhythm, breaking down the position sizes, and capturing the fluctuations within a big trend, rather than betting on wild spikes or drops

To put it plainly, there’s nothing flashy about it, just stability, patience, and planning

If you can achieve these three points, your account won't blow up

Instead of trying to dominate the market alone, it’s better to play steadily with me

Choosing the right direction, rolling positions really isn't that complicated
