Brothers, can you imagine? Starting from 3,000U, in less than a year it snowballed to 600,000U — this is not a fantasy, but the result of my 'small step rolling method' achieved step by step.

Three years ago, I was still trapped in the quagmire of liquidation, suffering immensely. Three heavy bets led me from 50,000U down to only 2,800U, almost unable to pay rent; that despair is still unforgettable. One day, I stared blankly at my account, filled with confusion: 'Why can others profit steadily while I always lose?' Later, I realized that what I lacked was not luck, but a trading discipline that imprinted 'stability' deeply into my bones.

1. The essence of rolling with small steps: protect your capital first, then seek profits.

Many people think rolling means 'increasing positions when profitable', but the first step is to learn to 'hit the brakes'. Before I place an order now, there are three things that I must do without exception; if any one is missing, I won't proceed:

  • Precisely set stop-loss lines: stop-loss lines should not be set at 3% or 5% based on feeling, but calculated based on 'recent volatility of the coin × 0.7'. For example, if ETH has fluctuated 4% in the last 7 days and the current price is 3,000 dollars, the stop-loss should be set at 3,000 × (1 - 4% × 0.7) = 2,916 dollars, and set the stop-loss order in advance; when it reaches the stop-loss point, it automatically closes the position, never holding onto it. Last November, when ETH plummeted, I successfully avoided liquidation three times using this method, while many brothers only watched their accounts go to zero due to hesitation while manually stopping losses.

  • Light initial positions, stability is key: starting with 3,000U, I only invested 450U per trade, which is 15% of the capital. Even if the market seems certain, I never break this rule. Once, when BTC broke through 40,000 dollars, everyone in the group was shouting to 'go all in', but I only added 300U of profit. As a result, that night there was an 8% pullback, and those who went all in were completely liquidated, while I not only didn’t lose but made 500U. Remember, the size of the position does not determine the amount of profit but rather life and death.

  • Withdraw capital first, gamble with profits: this is the most counterintuitive yet effective strategy. Withdraw the principal portion every time you earn 5%. For example, if you earn 150U on 3,000U, immediately withdraw 100U to stablecoins, and roll the remaining 50U. After six months, my principal had already been withdrawn to 30,000U, and the rest was all profits being gambled, maintaining an attitude as steady as Mount Tai. Many people hesitate to cut losses when they’re losing and hesitate to withdraw when they’re earning, ultimately ending up with nothing — the principal in hand is yours, while unrealized gains are just numbers.

2. 'Hedging and rolling' strategy in L2 market, netting a 29% profit.

Last year, when the L2 concept exploded, I focused on a small coin with a market cap of less than 50 million dollars, and the operation was divided into three steps, which can now be considered textbook level:

  • Initial position ambush: open a 3x long position with 1,000U while simultaneously opening a short position with 200U for hedging to guard against sudden crashes.

  • Lock in profits as the market starts: when the price rises by 15%, close half of the long positions, withdraw all the principal and hedged short positions, leaving the remaining 500U profit 'naked'.

  • Buy on dips, sell on spikes: Add 200U in profit after a 5% pullback, then sell 100U after an 8% rise, rolling back and forth 6 times, ultimately netting a 29% profit.
    The key to this operation lies not in 'guessing the market', but in being able to hold steady when the market rises and not panicking when it falls. Many people got trapped by chasing highs during that wave, but I locked risks firmly within a controllable range through hedging and phased operations.

3. Three phases of rolling: the true journey from 3,000U to 600,000U.

There are no miraculous strokes, only accumulated small steps.

  • 1st roll (1 - 2 months): 3,000→12,000: Only trading BTC and ETH, two trades a week, each making 5% - 8% and running, relying on withdrawing capital to protect profits, successfully avoiding three small pullbacks.

  • 2nd roll (3 - 6 months): 12,000→180,000: Join L2 and DeFi leading coins, using a 'first position 15% + profit increase' model, capturing two waves of doubling in ARB and OP, with a maximum drawdown of only 12% during this period.

  • 3rd roll (7 - 12 months): 180,000→600,000: Bull market sprint phase, increasing leverage to 5 times, but single positions never exceed 20%, rolling up with the major upward waves of SOL and DOT, using profits to add positions on every pullback, reducing half the position once the previous high is broken.
    There are no miracles along this path, only mechanical operations of 'not being greedy when rising, not panicking when falling, and taking profits when earned'. Many envy 200 times the returns but fail to see that I made only 47 trades in a year, with 38 being profitable — making fewer mistakes is more important than making more money.

Final thoughts

Those who get liquidated each have their own madness, while those who make money all share similar disciplines. I have seen too many people earn from 3,000U to 300,000U, and too many lose from 300,000U to 3,000U; the difference lies in these three points:

  • Is the stop-loss set in advance?

  • Is the initial position controlled to within 15%?

  • Did you withdraw capital first when you made a profit?

If you achieve these three points, turning 3,000U around is just a matter of time; if not, even giving you 3 million U will end up in loss.

Remember: the real leverage in the cryptocurrency world is not 100x contracts, but 'discipline × time'. Small steps may be slow, but they can lead to great distances.
