What is Rolling
To put it simply, rolling positions means using a small amount of money to make multiple attempts and double the profits in a successful market through high leverage. Although the process sounds exciting, the core is actually risk control, accurate judgment and strict execution.
Case sharing: From 300 US dollars to tens of thousands of US dollars
Suppose you have $300 (about 2,000 RMB) and use this money to roll over. You only take out $10 to open an order each time and choose 100x leverage. Yes, 100x leverage! This means that any 1% increase or decrease will be magnified into 100 times the profit or loss.
First of all, the key is to be firm in your direction - whether to be bullish or bearish. Before placing an order, you must make a good judgment and have execution, and do not change the direction at will. If you lose dozens of times in a row, it means that you may have made a wrong judgment. At this time, it is best to stop and reflect, and you may even need to temporarily exit the market and wait for the market to reverse.
But suppose you traded for the 20th time and the market finally moved in the direction you expected. As long as the price rose or fell by 1%, you would have made $20 from $10. Next, you took out $10 as profit and continued to invest the remaining $20. This process is called "rolling".
If there is another 1% increase or decrease, $20 will become $40. At this stage, the increase or decrease has accumulated to about 2%, and your capital has quadrupled. Continue with this strategy, in the 10% increase or decrease fluctuation that Bitcoin usually sees in a month, you may soon be able to roll your principal into thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
Set clear goals
An important principle of rolling positions is to set clear goals. For example, when you make $5,000 or $10,000, you stop rolling positions, take out profits, and reduce risks. This strategy helps you lock in profits and avoid being too greedy in pursuit of bigger goals, which can lead to a blow-up in the end.
The consequence of greed: If you do not take profits in time and continue to roll over, you may end up with a margin call due to a wrong judgment, and all your previous efforts will be in vain. Therefore, controlling your desires and setting a profit stop point are always the key to safe trading.
When should I start rolling over again?
When you have made tens of thousands of dollars through rolling positions, you can choose to stop and wait. Wait for a clearer market trend, such as a large-scale rise and fall cycle of a certain currency. At this time, you can continue to use $500 as the principal, and still use $10 each time to operate with 100 times leverage. By patiently waiting, once the market shows a unilateral trend, it may bring you the opportunity to realize several times or even dozens of times the profit in a few days.
But it should be noted that such opportunities are not common. It may take you several months or even one or two years to encounter a real big market. Moreover, the ups and downs and false breakthroughs in the market will also expose you to many unpredictable risks. Therefore, the success of rolling operations depends not only on accurate judgment, but also on a lot of patience and self-discipline.
Analysis of rolling trading strategies: High-leverage game logic of small-scale risk-taking
1. Core Logic and Operation Mechanism Rolling Position is a high-risk strategy based on compound interest effect and leverage in derivatives trading. Its essence is to achieve exponential profit growth through continuous increase in investment. Its core lies in the coordination of three technical elements:
1. Leverage tools: usually use 50-100 times high leverage contract products to magnify small principal to dozens of times the transaction size
2. Volatility capture: Relying on the market to have a sustained unilateral trend (e.g. the common monthly volatility of cryptocurrencies is 10-20%)
3. Fund management: adopt progressive position control of "principal protection + profit rolling", extract part of the profit after each profit, and continue to invest the remaining funds
2. Typical operation process (taking $300 principal as an example)
1. Initial stage: Split the principal into 30 trading units (300/10), and invest $10 each time to open a position
2. Leverage selection: Use 100x contract, and 1% price fluctuation can double the principal
3. Profit cycle:
- First success: $10 → $20 (withdraw $10 profit, keep $10 principal + $10 new funds)
- Secondary operation: $20 → $40 (withdraw $20 profit and keep $20 for further investment)
- 5 cumulative successes: theoretical funds can reach 320 US dollars (2^5=32 times)
4. Target management: set a periodic profit stop (e.g. close 50% of the position when the total profit reaches $5,000)
3. Risk Control System
1. Direction verification mechanism: 3 consecutive trading failures will result in forced suspension and re-evaluation of market trends
2. Dynamic stop loss rules:
- Single loss does not exceed 3% of the principal (10 USD x 3% = 0.3 USD)
- Risk control procedures will be activated when the total drawdown reaches 15%
3. Fund isolation strategy: transfer 30% of the accumulated profits to a cold wallet to establish a safety cushion
4. Time window control: a single rolling cycle does not exceed 72 hours to avoid overnight interest losses
IV. Applicable Scenarios and Market Characteristics
1. Ideal environment: One-sided market conditions in the cryptocurrency market (such as Bitcoin halving cycle, major policy implementation)
2. Technical pattern: continuous positive/negative lines after breaking through the key resistance level
3. Market indicators:
- Volatility Index (BVOL) breaks through 90th percentile
- The perpetual funding rate remains positive and the premium rate is > 1%
- The exchange's long-short ratio is extremely deviated (normal range of 0.8-1.2)
5. Advanced Operation Strategies
1. Grid strengthening: set up a 5% interval position increase grid in the main trend, and increase the position by 20% at each node
2. Hedging protection: Use reverse quarterly contracts to hedge systemic risks, with a hedging ratio of about 15-20%
3. Volatility arbitrage: When the VIX index exceeds 75, 30% of funds will be transferred to volatility-related derivatives
4. Cycle rotation: switch between mainstream currencies during bull-bear transitions (such as ETH/BCH rotation)
Important risk warning: The annualized volatility of this strategy exceeds 200%, which is suitable for investors with a risk tolerance level of C5 or above. Historical backtesting shows that in the cryptocurrency market from 2017 to 2023, the probability of five consecutive successful rollovers is less than 7.3%, while the probability of a single liquidation is 64%. It is recommended that the allocation of funds should not exceed 2% of personal liquid assets, and it is necessary to cooperate with a multi-dimensional decision-making system such as macro policy analysis and on-chain data monitoring.#MGX投资币安 #掌握市场 #凉兮 #凉兮归来
