Fans often chase me asking, 'Bro, how to roll over funds?' In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence — to roll 5000U to 100K, it relies not on the courage to open high leverage, but on the patience to hit the right rhythm. Each of these 6 stages must be walked through solidly:
Stage 1: First learn to 'play dead', only by preserving capital can you have a chance
Last year, I had a friend who put 4000U into a 20x contract, and it all went to zero in three days. Later, I set strict rules for him: 5000U principal, maximum 2000U for the first trade, accept losses without averaging down. At first, he thought I was too cautious and felt it was 'too slow to earn', but in the first week he lost 500U, then in the second week he caught three small rallies in ETH, and ended up recovering 1200U. In the crypto world, survival comes first; only then can you talk about profits. If you gamble everything at the start, no matter how good the market conditions, they won't matter to you.
Stage 2: Lock in your drawdowns, don’t let profits slip away
No matter how high the floating profit is, the daily drawdown must not exceed 20% — this is a lesson I learned the hard way. A newcomer once hit 8000U, but due to greed on one trade, he faced a 25% drawdown. Later he told me, 'I was so nervous I couldn’t even hold the mouse.' I didn’t let him continue trading; instead, I closed his account for three days, forcing him to review his trades. When he came back, he changed his rules: set the stop loss unit to 5% of the account, and for 1000U the maximum loss is 50U. At first, he felt it was 'too harsh', but as he kept cutting losses, his account curve gradually improved.
Stage 3: Only trade 'understandable K's', chasing blindly leads to pitfalls
Before trading, you must draw support and resistance lines as two dead lines; only act if the lines are broken. If they aren't broken, just be a spectator. A student once asked me in the middle of the night if he could chase a certain MEME coin. I looked at the K-line — the highs and lows were chaotic, with no clear trend, so I replied, 'If you dare to enter this trade, don’t call me master tomorrow.' Later, the coin price halved, and when he spoke to me again, he had obediently added 'don't touch K-lines without trends' to his trading rules.
Stage 4: Split profits into three parts, don’t wait until the roller coaster reaches the bottom
Whether short-term or trend trades, profit-taking must be done in steps: for short-term, take half profits after gaining 30-50 points; for trend trades, look for 150 points or more and leave part of the position to let profits run. No one can sell at the highest point, but no one is allergic to 'taking profits for safety'. I've seen too many people who clearly made a lot but stubbornly held onto the thought of 'I'll sell when it rises a bit more', only to watch profits slip away, even leading to losses — taking profits in steps is like insuring your profits.
Stage 5: Doubling means 'withdrawing profits', only what you take home is real money
Every time the account hits an integer threshold, you must forcibly take profits: from 5000U to 6000U, withdraw 500U; at 10K, withdraw 2000U; at 20K, withdraw 5000U. Last year, a friend of mine, when his account grew from 10K to 50K, thought 'the market can still rise' and didn’t want to withdraw, and ended up losing it all overnight. Later he cried to me, 'Bro, I should have listened to you and locked in profits.' The crypto market is volatile, so taking out part of your capital and profits in advance gives you the confidence to start over even if there’s a subsequent pullback.
Stage 6: Leverage is the 'stepmother', position size is the 'biological mother'
Once the account surpasses 8000U, the single position can be increased to 1000-1500U, but the stop loss must be adjusted to 3%-5%. A student once became greedy as soon as his account showed some profit, wanting to open a 10x leverage trade. I directly changed his account password for three days, forcing him to calm down. Now, with 20K in capital, he’s steadily climbing, and every time we talk about this, he pats his chest and says, 'Thanks to my master for locking my account that time, otherwise I would have lost it all by now.' Leverage can amplify profits, but it can also accelerate losses; only by controlling position size and stop loss can you go far.
In fact, if you cycle through these six steps two or three times, you will find that the account curve is not a roller coaster going up and down, but a staircase, climbing step by step — 5000→8000→12000→20000… In the crypto world, slow is fast, and stability leads to wealth.
