Fans often ask me: 'Bro, how exactly do you roll positions?' The core message is just one sentence: to roll from 5000 U to 100,000 U, don't rely on aggressive trades but on the compounding logic of precise rhythm. Today, I will break down the six-stage rolling position method verified by my students, with each step hiding the key from loss to profit.
First stage: First learn to 'play it safe'; only by surviving do you have the right to talk about profits.
Last year, I helped a brother who dared to open a 20x leverage position with a 4000 U principal, and ended up losing it all in three days. Later, I established strict rules for him: 5000 U principal, maximum 2000 U for the first order; if he loses it all, he must accept it and never add to his position.
At that time, he thought I was too conservative, resulting in a small loss of 500 U in the first week, but in the second week, he caught three small trends of ETH, pulling back 1200 U with precise profit-taking. Remember: the first step of rolling positions is not to think about how much to earn, but to first learn to control losses; preserving the principal allows for future possibilities.
Second stage: Lock in drawdowns, with daily losses not exceeding 20%.
No matter how beautiful the floating profit is, the daily drawdown must not exceed 20%. Previously, a newcomer reached 8000 U, but due to greed in one trade, the drawdown shot directly to 25%, leaving him trembling and unable to hold the mouse steady afterward.
I made him shut down and review for three days. Upon return, I had him use the '5% stop loss method': with a 1000 U principal, cut loss at a maximum of 50 U; with an 8000 U principal, single loss must not exceed 400 U. It may seem painful to stop loss frequently, but it effectively locks in risk, allowing the profit curve to gradually rise.
Third stage: Only trade candlestick patterns you understand; act only when breaking the line.
Before the market opens, you must draw two red lines for support and resistance; if they are not broken, just be an observer; only consider entering when the lines are broken. A student messaged me at midnight asking if he could chase a certain coin; upon opening the candlestick chart and seeing chaotic fluctuations, I replied, 'If you dare to enter this trade, don't call me master tomorrow.'
Later, that coin indeed halved, and he obediently included 'only trade clear trends' in his trading creed, thus avoiding 80% of ineffective operations.
Fourth stage: Split profit-taking into three parts, allowing profits to be securely captured.
For short-term trades, take half profit at 30-50 points; for trend trades, when seeing a target of 150 points, take out two-thirds first, leaving the remaining position to let profits run. Everyone has experienced the pain of a 'roller coaster' market, earning 1000 U and then losing 500 U, but no one would be allergic to 'locking in profits.'
Remember: the core of rolling positions is 'accumulating small victories,' taking a portion of every profit, so the account can grow larger like a snowball.
Fifth stage: Withdraw money when it doubles; locking in profits is what counts as earning.
Every time the account hits a round number, you must forcibly take profits: at 6000 U take 500 U, at 10,000 U take 2000 U, at 20,000 U take 5000 U. Last year, a student rolled from 10,000 U to 50,000 U without ever taking profits, only to have a sudden market reversal return him to square one, crying, 'Bro, if I had listened to your advice and locked in profits earlier.'
Numbers are always just numbers; only the money in the bank account is true profit. Taking profits is not about earning less; it is to help you sleep better during market fluctuations.
Sixth stage: Leverage is a stepmother, while position size is a biological mother.
When the account breaks 8000 U, the single position can be increased to 1000-1500 U, but the stop loss must be reduced to 3%-5%. Previously, a student, blinded by greed, wanted to go for 10x leverage; I directly changed his account password to let him calm down for three days.
Now he steadily climbs with a 20,000 U principal, every time he talks about it, he pats his chest: 'Thanks to the master's lock, otherwise I would have blown my account eight hundred times already.' Leverage can be used, but positions and stop losses must act as 'bodyguards.'
Repeat this six-step cycle three times, and you will find that the account numbers will rise like climbing stairs: 5000 → 8000 → 12000 → 20000... It seems slow, but in reality, each step is solid. The true essence of rolling positions is never 'fast,' but 'steady'—slow is fast, and stability leads to wealth.
