In my 10 years of digital currency investment, I have truly earned 26.5 million. Every penny of this money was hard-earned, backed by the lessons and experiences I learned while struggling in the market. Today, I want to share this practical knowledge with you in the most straightforward words.
Do you often see people playing particularly well in the digital currency circle?
In fact, many of their methods look clumsy but are really effective. This just requires us to spend time studying and practice in real combat.
Remember these practical tips:
First, never chase highs blindly. When the market heats up, everyone gets excited; you need to stay calm. When others panic, it might be your opportunity. If prices drop, that's a good time for you to quietly position yourself and buy at lower prices.
Second, investing in digital currencies must be flexible. Don't throw all your money in at once; adjust according to market changes. The crypto market changes quickly, and you must keep up with the rhythm; don't let one position tie you down.
Third, going all in is just asking for trouble. Going all in means the risk is too high, leaving you no room to maneuver. There are plenty of opportunities in the market; going all in is equivalent to giving up all other potentially profitable opportunities.
First, let me tell you how I made my first bucket of gold.
How did I roll from 1,000 U to 53,000 U? (Real experience)
If you currently have only 1,000 U in capital and want to make a mark in the crypto circle, what would you do?
Relying on luck, chasing news, and blindly going all in? I used to do that too, and ended up losing almost everything. It wasn't until later that I figured out a rolling position strategy, steadily rolling from 1,000 U to 53,000 U in under 5 months without blowing up my positions or gambling recklessly.
This isn’t a made-up story; it's the path I walked.
If you are willing to spend 5 minutes looking at the experience below, it might be useful for you.
🔍 My rolling position logic can be summed up in four words: small wins compound.
At the beginning, I set a small goal: earn 3-5% daily.
Don't underestimate this profit; the power of compounding can be frightening. Since I only engage in trades with high certainty, my success rate can remain above 70%, relying on these three points:
📌1. Find the rhythm: follow the trend, don’t go against the market.
Only take opportunities in pullbacks during an upward trend (this is the simplest and most aggressive), firmly avoid chasing highs and bottom fishing, and just eat the 'most stable middle segment.'
📌2. Control positions: only move half of the capital.
Never exceed 50% of total positions; even if you make a wrong judgment, you still have room for remedy. Add to profitable parts in batches; if you really fail and stop loss, it won't hurt — because only profits are at stake.
📌3. Don't be greedy: secure profits, think in daily terms.
Only do 1-2 trades a day; take a break after earning to prevent sudden market reversals. Review every night, noting mistakes to optimize the next day.
📈 Let me show you a few real operation snippets (just a portion):
✅ On January 16, ETH broke through the consolidation zone and went long: earned 85 U.
✅ On February 5, ARB showed a volume drop and a buying opportunity, quick in and out: earned 120 U.
✅ On March 21, BNB broke through the triangle convergence and surged: earned 215 U.
✅ On April 12, after many days of sideways movement, the market surged: caught a major upward wave, doubling in a single transaction.
With this steady rhythm of daily progress, I gradually moved from 1,000 U → 1,800 U → 3,200 U → 7,100 U…
As of now, my account balance is over 53,000 U, and I am still committed to doing just two things: only taking opportunities I understand and strictly executing my plan.
🤫 Many people ask me: what signals do you look for? How do you determine 'it's about to take off'? Where to buy and where to sell?
In the crypto circle, 90% of losses come from frequent trading.
But true top players rely on 'rolling positions' for exponential asset growth.
What are rolling positions?
Rolling positions means letting profits run, not rushing to secure them.
Ordinary players: run after a 10% gain, then miss out on the big trend.
Rolling position players: add positions with floating profits, letting the trend work for you.
The core logic of rolling positions.
Trend is king: only roll positions in bull markets or strong trends; not applicable in sideways markets.
Add positions with floating profits: use profits to seek greater profits, rather than risking capital.
Moving up stop losses: as profits grow, gradually raise the stop-loss position to lock in profits.
Wrong rolling positions = gambling, correct rolling positions = compound interest machine.
Practical skills for rolling positions.
(1) Confirm the trend before taking action.
(2) Pyramid adding method
Initial position: 20%-30% of funds for trial positions.
Trend continuation: use profits to add positions in batches.
Finally, keep your position below 50% of total funds.
(3) Dynamic profit-taking, letting profits fly.
Broke below the 10-day moving average? Reduce position by 50%.
Broke below the 20-day moving average? Liquidate.
Is there a surge in volume but stagnation? Take partial profits.
Remember: you won't go bankrupt from taking profits, but you might go to zero from greed.
4. The fatal trap of rolling positions.
Counter-trend rolling positions: adding positions in a downward trend, the more you roll, the more you lose (typical: contract dead holding).
Over-leverage: rolling positions ≠ going all in; high leverage speeds up liquidation.
Emotional trading: going all in during FOMO, cutting losses in panic.
5. The highest realm of rolling positions: effortless governance.
After establishing a position, look at the market less and trade less.
Let the market move on its own; you only need to follow the trend.
80% of profits come from 20% of the time; if you can endure the loneliness, you can maintain prosperity.
What is rolling positions? How to roll positions? What is the core of rolling positions? Here’s the answer!
In the crypto circle, some people hype 'rolling positions' as a golden touch — some say turning 50,000 into a million is due to talent, while others criticize it as a trap set by market makers. In fact, rolling positions are like riding a shared bicycle: following traffic rules can get you there steadily, but running red lights will eventually lead to a crash.
I have seen the most outrageous cases: in 2023, a programmer entered the market with a 5,000 U salary, rolled to 120,000 in three months, and then turned around and went all in on altcoins with 20x leverage, only to owe the platform 80,000 a week later. I've also seen the most foolish winners: starting with 5,000 U in spot, relying on 'not touching high leverage, only using profits to add positions, and cutting losses on time' led to 670,000 in two years.
Today, let's break down the underlying logic of rolling positions — it’s not about gambling on luck, but using 'floating profits as a shield, low leverage as brakes, and discipline as a steering wheel,' a combination anyone can replicate.
First, break the misconception: rolling positions are not about adding leverage aggressively, but letting profits take risks for you.
Too many people misunderstand rolling positions as 'adding leverage and going all in', which is holding a double-edged sword the wrong way. The real core of rolling positions can be summed up in one sentence: use the money earned to expand positions, and let the capital always stay flat.
It's like rock climbing with a climbing rope: first, use the main rope (capital) to secure your body, climb to a certain height, and then use the excess rope length (floating profit) to explore the next step. Even if you miss a step, the main rope can keep you from falling to your death.
Here's a tangible example:
With 5,000 U in capital, choose a 10x leverage single-position model, but only use 10% of funds (500 U) as margin — the actual leverage is only 1x (500×10=5000, which equals the capital). Set a 3% stop loss, with a maximum loss of 150 U, which has a negligible impact on capital.
If you earn 15% (750 U), total funds become 5,750 U. At this point, only use the newly added 750 U floating profits to add positions, and the capital of 5,000 U remains untouched. Even if the added position loses 3%, it will only lose 22.5 U, and total funds will still be 5,727.5 U, earning 727.5 U more than initially.
Those who go bankrupt all make the mistake of 'adding positions with capital.' It's like untying the main rope while rock climbing to use it as a pathfinding rope; falling is just a matter of time.
Second, the three lifelines of rolling positions: keep one to survive, break one to go to zero.
1. Leverage must be 'low enough to be scorned by market makers.'
Newbies often ask 'what leverage is the most profitable?' The real question should be 'what leverage dies the slowest?' My iron rule is: 3x is the ceiling, and 1-2x is the safety zone.
In 2022, when LUNA collapsed, I used 1x leverage to go long on ETH, with a 30% margin of error despite price fluctuations; meanwhile, those using 10x leverage were liquidated after just a 5% pullback. Remember: rolling positions rely on 'compounding through frequency,' not 'one all-in bet determining life or death.'
Recommendation: for the first 3 months, use only 1x leverage, and consider 2x only after 6 consecutive profitable trades; never touch 5x or above — daily fluctuations of 3% in the crypto circle are normal, and 10x leverage means you won't even have a chance to catch your breath.
2. Adding positions can only use 'money sent by the market.'
Capital is your trump card; moving it once equals losing one card. Last year, when guiding a fan named Xiao Lin, he had 5,000 in capital and earned 2,000, totaling 7,000, but he insisted on withdrawing the capital to 10,000 to add positions, resulting in a total loss in one pullback.
The correct approach: if floating profits do not exceed 20% of capital, resolutely do not add positions; if it exceeds, each addition should not exceed 30% of floating profits. Like a fisherman using caught fish as bait, even if no new fish are caught, the fishing boat won't incur losses.
3. Stop losses should be as decisive as breaking up.
'Just wait a bit, maybe it will rebound' — I've heard at least 100 people who went bust say this. When rolling positions, you must set your red line: a single loss must not exceed 2% of total funds.
With 5,000 U in capital, the maximum single loss is 100 U; with 100,000 U, the maximum single loss is 2,000 U. Cut losses when the time comes, regardless of how good the K-line looks or how favorable the news is. In 2023, when BTC fell from 40,000 to 30,000, I cut losses three times, totaling 6,000 U, but preserved 90% of my capital, making back 120,000 when the market rebounded.
Three, the three-stage ladder method from 5,000 to a million: one step wrong, all steps wrong.
First stage: 5,000 → 50,000 (practice with spot trading, accumulate the first bucket of gold).
The core is 'accumulating confidence through small fluctuations.' Buy BTC and ETH at the bear market bottom (for example, when BTC dropped to 17,000 in 2023), sell at a 15% rise, buy at a 10% drop, repeat 4-5 times, and roll the funds to 20,000.
At this time, use 1x leverage to test your skills: wait for BTC to stabilize above the 20-day line, open a long position with 10% of the capital, earn 10%, and then add 20% of floating profits, with a stop loss of 2%. For example, with 20,000 capital, open 2,000 initially, after earning 200, add 40 in position, keeping the total position always below 15% of the capital.
At this stage, the practice isn’t about making money, but about muscle memory of 'cutting losses without hesitation when the time comes, and adding positions only with floating profits'; complete at least 15 profitable trades before advancing.
Second stage: 50,000 → 300,000 (catching trend opportunities, letting profits run).
Only take action in 'certain trends': for example, if BTC steadily stands above the 50-day line for three consecutive days, with volume increasing by 50% compared to the previous week, then start rolling positions.
Add position rhythm: add 40% of floating profits every 12% gain. If 50,000 capital rises to 56,000 (floating profit 6,000), then add 2,400 in position, keeping total positions within 25% of capital.
Key to profit-taking: every 30% increase, withdraw 20% of profits. For example, rolling from 50,000 to 80,000, first withdraw 16,000 to stable coins, leaving 64,000 to continue rolling — this strategy can help you maintain a calm mindset during pullbacks.
Third stage: 300,000 → 1 million (making money through bull and bear cycles).
Waiting for a historic opportunity: for example, Bitcoin rises from the bear market bottom (like 15,000) to the middle of the bull market (like 50,000). This kind of 4x market can be magnified to 8-10 times the profit with rolling positions.
Dynamic position adjustment:
In the early stage of the trend (just broke 20,000): use 10% of the position to experiment.
Mid-stage of the trend (after breaking 30,000 and stabilizing): increase to 30% of the position.
Later stage of the trend (after breaking 40,000): reduce to 15% position.
Last year, a fan started when BTC was at 23,000, strictly following this rhythm, and by the time it reached 48,000, the capital rolled from 300,000 to 970,000, withdrawing 500,000 in cash and continuing with the rest — remember, the endpoint of rolling positions is 'securing profits,' not rolling indefinitely.
Four, mindset: 'anti-human nature trading' is more important than technique.
1. Allow yourself to 'add wrong positions,' but never 'miss positions.'
Some people always get caught up in 'not adding positions at the lowest point.' For instance, if they plan to add after a 10% rise but only act after a 12% rise, they regret it. In fact, rolling positions are like sowing wheat; as long as you plant in spring, a few days earlier or later doesn't affect the harvest, which is better than missing the sowing period.
2. Treat stop losses as 'buying insurance,' rather than 'accepting losses.'
In 10 trades, having 3 stop losses is normal. Last year, I did rolling positions with SOL, and out of 5 trades, I had 2 stop losses totaling 8,000 U, but the other 3 trades earned 52,000 U; calculated, the stop loss cost only accounted for 15% of profits. It's like buying insurance for driving, paying a few thousand each year but being compensated tens of thousands when an accident occurs.
Five, two real cases: clumsy method vs. smart death.
Positive example: Lao Wang rolled from 5,000 to 670,000.
Entered the bear market in 2022, only doing ETH spot trading, selling at a 20% rise and buying at a 15% drop, rolling up to 30,000 in six months. In 2023, using 1x leverage, adding 20% to positions every time floating profits exceed 5,000, with a stop loss of 2%, went from 30,000 to 280,000 in 8 months. This year, caught the trend and increased to 2x leverage, currently at 670,000, withdrew 300,000 to the bank.
Negative example: Xiao Zhang rolled 100,000 into a negative 20,000.
In 2023, I used 5x leverage, earning from 100,000 to 230,000 in two months, and began to get cocky. I added 10x leverage to gamble on altcoins, but in a single pullback, I was liquidated down to 50,000. Unwilling to accept this, I borrowed money to add positions, resulting in even bigger losses and eventually owing the platform 20,000.
Finally, let me say something straightforward.
Rolling 5,000 to a million requires at least 3 years — don't believe in the myth of 'doubling in half a year,' that's survivor bias. The essence of rolling positions is 'exchanging time for space,' like watering bamboo; no changes in the first three years, but it can grow 30 centimeters a day in the fourth year.
If you currently have only 5,000 U, remember these three phrases:
High leverage will definitely lead to liquidation; play slowly with 1-2x.
Using capital is like gambling; only use profits to add positions.
If stop-losses soften, they will go to zero; cut losses without hesitation when the time comes.
The crypto circle is not short of opportunities; what's lacking is the patience to 'survive and wait for opportunities.' Starting today, withdraw 10% of every profit to buy a cup of milk tea — you'll find that the joy of rolling positions lies not in the number fluctuations but in watching profits gradually become a real life.
How many people have lost hope in market fluctuations, yet managed to stabilize their footing and even turn things around with this system? Countless — but the core is just one: dare to follow, dare to act, and don't hesitate.
I once thought trading was a shortcut to wealth, but later realized it was more like a long game against oneself. There are no eternal winners here, only practitioners who continue to evolve.
Over the years, the market has taught me not just techniques but also a profound understanding of human nature, risk, and discipline. From blindly following trends to establishing a system, from emotional trading to mechanical execution, every step has been accompanied by pain and growth. What I want to share is not a 'sure-win secret,' but the real insights of a lonely trader: 'The market has always been fair; it does not punish mistakes, but it will repeatedly teach you lessons until you learn.'
There is no 'holy grail' in trading, nor is there a 'secret' in the market. The methods to make money are not found in any book; market trends, support and pressure, capital management, and personal execution are all obvious factors. Trading is about repeatedly doing these simple things to perfection.
Predicting the future is not as important as managing the present. Trading is not about prediction; it's about execution. You don't know whether the next trade will profit or lose, but after long-term execution of rules, the odds will be in your favor. Let profits run and stop losses.
The closer you are to the market, the easier it is to be consumed. Watching the market every day and trading frequently will only cause anxiety. Those who truly make money understand the importance of keeping a distance from the market, learning to wait, and seizing their own opportunities.
True masters can endure loneliness. Trading is dull for them only because they are disciplined executors. Trading is a marathon; living longer is more important than running faster. Manage risks, control drawdowns, stay in the market; time is the strongest compound interest.
The essence of trading is self-cultivation. The market will not change; you can only change yourself. Making money relies on cognition and execution. Once you understand this, there’s no need for others to guide you; the market has taught everything.
