From a few thousand to 1 million, I only rely on one trick
Many people ask me, how can small funds in the crypto world make a comeback? I tell you, it's not through dreams of getting rich overnight, but through rolling positions to grow.
When your account reaches 1 million, you will change as a person. Even without leverage, if the spot price rises by 20%, that's 200,000, which is enough for most people’s annual income. More importantly, if you can grow from a few thousand to 1 million, you've already touched the underlying logic of making money—at this point, making money is actually just copying and pasting.
Don't just casually say “I want 100 million,” you need to first figure out: how do you go from a few thousand to tens of thousands? From tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands? Stop bragging, that only makes the bragging sound comfortable.
What is rolling positions?
Simply put, it is: in a trending market, using unrealized gains to increase positions and turning one opportunity into super profits.
It's not about rolling every day; rolling positions only fits larger market movements:
1️⃣ Directional choices after sideways consolidation + low volatility
2️⃣ Extreme rebounds after significant drops in a bull market
3️⃣ Breaking through weekly support/resistance levels
Missed it? No rush, if you catch it right three times in your life, it’s enough to go from 0 to tens of millions.
Three methods for rolling positions:
🔹 Adding positions with unrealized gains: add after making profits, but not blindly; add after confirming the trend and reducing costs.
🔹 Base position + trading: split position management, keep part as base position and flexibly buy low and sell high with the other part. Common configurations: 3/7 or 5/5.
🔹 Adding positions on pullbacks: when the trend remains unchanged, wait for a pullback to the support level before adding positions in batches.
The underlying logic of rolling positions is simple: only big movements are worth heavy investment.
Play with small positions normally, but when real opportunities arise, pull out the “big guns.” You can’t fire every day; that’s chaotic.
Notes on rolling positions:
✅ Only go long, do not easily go short. Short selling has less elasticity, can easily rebound, and has a high failure rate.
✅ Be patient and wait for certain opportunities. A sudden surge after a sharp drop and sideways movement is usually a reversal signal; be bold to get in.
✅ Reasonably control your position size; do not go all in. 99% of rolling position failures are due to holding onto losing positions.
✅ Practice risk control before rolling positions; otherwise, you might not realize profits, and your account could go to zero first.
Rolling positions are not a shortcut but a tool to amplify understanding.
Small funds rely on rolling positions to turn around, while large funds rely on maintaining rhythm.
When the market comes, whether you dare to get in decides your difference from others for the year.
