In the recent shocking market crash, Liangxi made a short position with $10,000 and rolled it into $10 million through rolling positions—there were plenty of short sellers in the market, so why did he achieve the largest profit? The answer is simple: rolling position.
When it comes to rolling position, one person must be mentioned: Tony. Some may find this name unfamiliar, but when you mention Liangxi or Hanba Longwang, you probably have an impression—these three were the hottest 'concurrent top streamers' in the crypto world back then. In 2021, Mage Tony turned a $50,000 principal into a staggering $20 million in a year using high leverage and rolling position as his two 'magic weapons'. His 'rolling position mindset' is still revered by many traders today.
So what exactly is rolling position? Simply put, it is using a small amount of capital to make multiple attempts, and when you encounter a favorable market condition, you use high leverage to let your profits snowball. It sounds thrilling, but what lies behind it is strict risk control, precise market judgment, and unwavering execution.
Let me tell you a real example that can be realized: rolling from $300 to tens of thousands of dollars.
Assuming you have $300 (about 2000 RMB) in hand, and you only take out $10 for each trade, directly using 100 times leverage—yes, that kind of leverage that can magnify a 1% rise or fall into 100 times profit or loss.
The first step is to set a clear direction for yourself: is it bullish or bearish? Think it through before opening a position, and don't change your mind casually afterward. If you keep losing dozens of times in a row, you need to be alert: you might have completely misjudged the direction. At this point, it’s better to take a break and even temporarily step back until the market is clearer.
But if luck (or strength) is on your side, by the 20th operation, the market suddenly moves in your expected direction. As long as the price fluctuates by 1%, $10 instantly becomes $20. At this point, you take out $10 to secure your profits, leaving the remaining $20 in the market—this operation is called 'rolling position.'
If you also encounter a 1% fluctuation, $20 will become $40. At this point, the cumulative rise and fall is 2%, and your money has already quadrupled. Continuing to roll like this, a common 10% fluctuation in Bitcoin over a month is enough to let you roll from a few hundred dollars to several thousand or even tens of thousands.
However, there is an iron rule: set a 'profit-taking red line' for yourself. For example, once you earn $5,000 or $10,000, stop immediately and take the profit out; don’t just hold on stubbornly. This trick can help you lock in profits, preventing you from being overly greedy and losing everything in the end, rendering all your previous efforts in vain.
Many people fall into the trap of 'greed': not stopping in time, wholeheartedly rolling down, and as a result, a single misjudgment leads to liquidation, falling from the cloud directly into the mud. So, controlling desire and setting a profit-taking strategy is always the rule for survival in trading.
So when should you get back into rolling position?
If you have already made tens of thousands of dollars through rolling position, it might be wise to take a break and wait for an opportunity. What are you waiting for? A clear and distinct trend, such as when a certain cryptocurrency is due for a surge or crash. At this point, you can take $500 as your principal and still use $10 with 100 times leverage to test the waters. With patience, once you encounter a one-sided market, seeing your money multiply several times in just a few days is not a fantasy.
But let’s be clear: such opportunities are rare. Sometimes it can take several months or even a year or two to encounter one. Moreover, the back-and-forth fluctuations and false breakouts in the market can cause you to stumble at any moment. Therefore, for rolling positions to succeed, not only must you have precise judgment, but you also need the patience to endure and unwavering discipline.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about why so many people who trade contracts end up with liquidation. In summary, there are several points:
- Itching hands: Regardless of market conditions, always wanting to open positions, operating frequently until you can’t even see the overall trend anymore;
- Impatience: Always hoping to earn a year's worth of others' money in a day, unwilling to wait for a truly reliable opportunity;
- Wasted plans: Obviously having a trading plan but operating solely based on emotions, having thrown the plan out of the window long ago.
When trading contracts, the worst sins are greed and impulse. What is planned must be strictly followed; even if market fluctuations make you restless, you must control your hands. Otherwise, liquidation is just the beginning; it could even lead to total ruin.
In the end, rolling position is high risk and high reward, only suitable for those who are disciplined and can remain calm. Using small amounts of money to leverage large profits sounds wonderful, but the premise is that you must accurately assess the market, execute properly, and not be overly greedy. If you can grasp these, rolling position could indeed become your 'shortcut' to quickly accumulate money.#滚仓
