Want to start with tens of thousands to earn a million in principal?
Rolling positions are the ultimate weapon you must master. When the principal breaks the million threshold, even without leverage, a 20% rise in spot can yield 200,000 in profit—this is already the income limit for most people in a year.
More importantly, after crossing this threshold, you will truly understand the operational logic of large funds, cultivating the mindset and vision necessary for top traders.
1. The essence and practical framework of rolling positions
Rolling positions is not frequent trading, but precise strikes targeting major opportunities.
The market only has 3-4 highly certain trending opportunities each year; capturing 2-3 of them can lead to a leap in social class.
• Must wait for the consolidation phase after a steep decline to build a base
• Act decisively when breaking through key resistance levels
• Only trade trending long positions (absolutely do not short)
Position control mindset
• Maintain a light position for trial (10%-20% position)
• Gradually increase position when major opportunities arise (increase total capital by 10% at each fixed rise)
• Strict stop-loss discipline (individual trade stop-loss not exceeding 2%)
2. Breakdown of practical case studies (Path to advancement with 50,000 principal)
Using Bitcoin as an example to demonstrate a safe rolling position strategy:
Initial condition: 50,000 profit funds (ensure the safety of the principal)
Leverage setup: 10 times leverage in a per-position model, the first position uses only 10% margin (equivalent to 1 times actual leverage)
• First phase (10,000→11,000): Build a position of 5,000 (10% of total funds), set a 2% stop-loss. If the stop-loss is triggered, the loss is only 100.
Hold until 11,000 after a breakout, profit 8%
• Second phase (11,000→15,000): Increase total capital by 10% at each key point rise, with continuous 2% stop-loss protection.
When the market breaks 15,000, cumulative profits can reach 200,000 level
• Key logic: In a 50% rising market, achieving over 10 times the principal through 4-5 laddered positions
3. Three axes of risk control
Leverage awareness: 1-3 times leverage is also applicable to rolling position strategies; 10 times leverage is not necessary
Capital allocation: Futures account not exceeding 2% of total funds (e.g., if spot is 1 million, then futures at most 20,000)
Safety cushion principle: Always participate in futures trading with 1/10 of the profits from spot trading
4. The foundational mindset on the road to a million
Abandon the fantasy of compound interest: 100 times profit comes from a combination of 2 times 10x + 3 times 5x + 4 times 3x, rather than a mechanical 2% daily compound interest
Winning in the medium to long term: Small funds must abandon short-term thinking, focusing on capturing 3-5 times trend opportunities
Iron rules of capital management:
• Futures investment not exceeding 5% of total capital
• Withdraw 20% of each profit as a risk reserve
• Control the number of liquidations to within 10 times must be understood
The market never lacks opportunities; what is lacking is the ability to seize them.
Remember: A million in principal only requires capturing 3-4 major trends, but you need to endure 100 small losses to achieve that.
Stay patient and wait for the trend signal that makes you go all in—it will quietly arrive during a consolidation phase after a certain downturn.
Choice is greater than effort
