In the crypto world, wanting to turn a small capital around through rolling is indeed a tough road, but it is paved with blood and tears. Last year's crash led to a viral story about Liangxi shorting from 10,000 to 10 million, but no one told you that he blew up over thirty times. Even earlier, there was a god named Tony who turned 50,000 into 20 million in a year; even now, the old-timers in the circle still mention his 'three iron rules of rolling positions.'
Rolling positions is not gambling; it's a skill of dancing on the edge of a knife.
I've personally seen a mining farm owner test rolling: he split $300 into 30 parts, investing only $10 with 100x leverage each time. When the direction was right, a 1% price fluctuation could double the investment.
Earn $20 and immediately withdraw $10 in profits, leaving $10 to continue rolling. After rolling like an ant moving its home for two months, he managed to turn $300 into $20,000. But the key was in the last step—when he earned $50,000, he decisively stopped and switched to spot trading. Later, that coin went to zero, and all the brothers in the rolling group got wrecked, but he preserved his profits.
Three things to fear most in rolling positions
1. Impulsively opening positions: Tony established a rule years ago to only test the direction three times a day; if he got it wrong three times, he would turn off the computer and go to sleep. Once, Bitcoin consolidated for seven days, and he really watched the market empty-handed for seven days.
2. Greed without stopping: during the crash on March 12 last year, a brother rolled from 5,000 to 800,000 without taking profits, thinking he could reach a million. He ended up getting liquidated in the early morning and posted a screenshot of his delivery rider registration in the group.
3. Stubbornly holding to a wrong direction: Liangxi succeeded because he could quickly recognize when he was wrong. Once, after going long and blowing twenty positions, he turned to short on the twenty-first and flipped the script; he said, 'Blowing twenty times proves the bulls are dead.'
The true secrets of rolling positions
1. Treat trial and error money as if it were thrown into the water: do not open a position with more than 3% of total funds, and you won't feel heartbroken even if you lose it all.
2. Take profits like bloodletting: always take out the principal once it doubles, and continue rolling with the profits.
3. Know when to take profits: once you've reached your psychological price point (like going from 10,000 to 500,000), stop immediately and wait three months to reassess the market.
Now those who boast about rolling won't tell you that of Tony's over 20 million in profits, 19 million came from two big single-sided trades; for nine months in between, he was making small losses testing the direction. They also won't mention that Liangxi lost 40 million in three days last year on Luna.
Rolling positions is like walking a tightrope; out of a hundred people, ninety-nine fall to their deaths. If you really want to try, remember these three life-saving charms:
- Use money you can afford to lose (like three months' salary)
- Set a 3% stop loss when opening a position (don't believe the nonsense of 'just hold on a bit longer')
- Once you've earned enough for three years of living expenses, wash your hands of it.
The most toxic saying in the crypto world is 'small funds can turn around quickly'; behind those rags-to-riches stories lie mountains of liquidation orders and cigarette butts on the rooftop. If you really want to roll, ask yourself: can you calmly open the twenty-first position after blowing twenty times?
