Many friends are asking: "Brother Liang, how do you operate rolling positions?" Today, I will explain it to you in the most straightforward way. If you want to roll from 500U to 100K, it’s not about rushing in blindly, but rather about progressing step by step!
Start off steadily
In your first trade, absolutely don’t jump in recklessly; just try the waters with 200-300U, and use at most half of your position.
Remember, the most important thing at the beginning is to survive. First, ensure that "you don’t blow your account, and the drawdown doesn't exceed 20%"—this is the bottom line.
Never touch trades you don't understand
What does it mean to understand? There must be clear support and resistance levels, the trend needs to be very clear, and most importantly, the risk-reward ratio should be at least 2:1—meaning, the potential profit should be more than double the potential loss.
The goal is simple: make every trade count, and survive steadily.
Don’t randomly adjust your stop-loss
Set your stop-loss before placing a trade; the loss on a single trade shouldn’t exceed 5%-7% of your account.
For example, if your account has 1000U, you can only lose a maximum of 50-70U, so set it and don’t change it. Changing your stop-loss out of hesitation during a trade is basically throwing away money.
Don’t be too greedy with taking profits; take gains when you can
If you can make 30-50 points in a small swing, then exit, and for a larger trend, aim for 80-150 points. For mid-term trades, only consider exiting when the risk-reward ratio is above 3:1.
Don’t always think "I’ll sell when it rises a bit more"; securing profits is real money.
Change your strategy when you roll to 3000U
At this point, you can gradually increase your position, trading 800-1000U per trade is fine, but you have to reduce the risk; limit the loss per trade to 3%-5%, and ensure the drawdown doesn’t exceed 15%.
When you have a bit more money, you need to be even more cautious.
Lock in profits every time you double your money
For example, if you grow from 1000U to 3000U, withdraw 500U first.
Having cash on hand means that even if your account experiences a drawdown later, your mindset won’t collapse—this is a crucial strategy for survival.
Ultimately, there are three stages: when you have little money, focus on survival; with moderate funds, gradually speed up; when you have more money, protect your profits well.
Follow this pace for 30 days, and the account curve will give you the answer.
Don’t think you can get rich overnight; rolling positions rely on steady progress.
