How to make big money in the crypto world? Today, I will share with you my top-secret 'rolling fund strategy'—I started with 3000U and rolled it up to 96000U without ever blowing up my account. It was not luck that got me here.
Rather, these are the 3 counter-intuitive but life-saving rules that can make money:
Rule 1: The principal must be 'locked' in the account, only then can the profits 'snowball'.
Divide 3000U into two parts:
• 2500U as the 'life-saving principal', which must never be touched. Even if the market is good, do not touch it; this is your 'trump card' in the crypto world.
• 500U as the 'initial profit fund'. For every profit earned, add the profit to this fund. For example, if the first trade earns 300U, the profit fund becomes 800U; if another 500U is earned, the profit fund goes directly to 1300U...
For example: A brother followed my method, and the first ETH trade earned 200U, then added to the position with profit, after 3 rounds of rolling, the profit position grew from 500U to 3000U, while the principal of 2500U remained unchanged. Even if a certain trade incurred a loss, it was only the profit that was lost, and the principal is always safe, always having a chance to recover.
Rule 2: Single variety position "capped at 10%", multiple varieties "spread risks".
Don't think about "all in on one coin to become rich"; that's gambler's thinking!
• Start with 3000U, and never exceed 10% on a single variety position, even if you are optimistic about BTC or ETH, only use a small part to test;
• Once the capital rolls to over 10,000U, split it into 3-4 clearly trending varieties (such as BTC, ETH, SOL, which have consensus), so that if one side doesn't shine, the other side will; you will not lose all profits due to the fluctuations of one variety.
Consider this: If you go all in on a small coin, once the project crashes or the market reverses, 3000U may directly become zero; but if you spread your funds across several mainstream varieties, even if one adjusts, the others can hold on, and profits won't fluctuate drastically.
Rule 3: Break the 20-day line "immediately liquidate your position", take profit "in 3 batches".
These two rules are the core of "survival + profit":
• Do not hesitate to stop losses: Regardless of whether you just entered the market or have held for a long time, as long as the held variety falls below the 20-day line, immediately liquidate your position, never hold on! Do not cling to the fantasy of "just wait a little longer for a rebound"; once the trend breaks, it’s broken. Keeping the principal gives you another opportunity next time (this trick helped me avoid the big waterfall in 2022);
• Don't be greedy when taking profits:
◦ When the increase reaches 20%, first reduce positions by 30%, keeping part of the profit in hand;
◦ Reduce positions by 50% when the increase reaches 50%, ensuring that most profits are secured;
◦ The remaining 20% of the position looks at the trend, clear out when breaking the line, never take "an entire segment of the market".
Remember: 80% of people in the crypto circle are "wanting more when they earn, wanting to get back when they lose", ultimately returning all profits. But as long as you strictly adhere to these two rules, you can become part of that 20% of profitable minority.
Many people feel that "this method is too slow", but the fact of going from 3000U to 96000U is clear: the crypto market has never lacked opportunities for quick profits, but those who can survive and turn small capitals into large ones rely on their strict adherence to rules.
Are you still messing around with 3000U? Don't let the principal be exhausted in the cycle of "all in - margin call - re-all in"! Either copy these three rules to stick to them, or follow someone who understands the rules—why can't the next person to roll from 3000U to six figures be you?
There is a saying that standing on the shoulders of giants can save you ten years of hard work. At the end of the article, I will also talk about the most important profit system. Friends who are lucky enough to see this and want to improve their cryptocurrency trading skills should definitely read more and study earnestly.
Adjust positions
Let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the most crucial step—how to achieve rolling positions through adjusting holdings.
1. Timing: Enter the market only when the market meets the conditions for rolling positions.
2. Opening a position: Follow the technical analysis signals, find the right timing to enter the market.
3. Add positions: If the market is moving in your direction, gradually add more positions.
4. Reduce positions: When you earn the predetermined profit, or when the market seems a bit off, slowly sell.
5. Closing positions: When you reach your target price, or the market is clearly about to change, sell everything.
As for how to operate specifically, let me share my rolling position insights:
(1) Add to position after earning money: If your investment rises, consider adding a bit more, but the premise is that the cost has gone down, and the risk is lower. It's not about adding every time you earn, but rather at the right timing, such as at the breakthrough point in a trend, add when it breaks, and quickly reduce when it does, or add during a pullback.
(2) Base position + trading: Divide your assets into two parts, one part remains unchanged as the base position, while the other part is traded during market price fluctuations; this can reduce costs and increase profits. There are several ways to divide:
1. Half-position rolling: Hold half of the funds long-term, and trade the other half during price fluctuations.
2. Maintain 30% base position: Hold 30% of funds long term, and trade with the remaining 70% during price fluctuations.
3. Maintain 70% base position: Hold 70% of funds long-term, and trade with the remaining 30% during price fluctuations.
The purpose of doing this is to maintain a certain level of position while utilizing short-term market fluctuations to adjust costs, optimizing the holdings.
Risk management
Risk management, simply put, involves two things: overall position control and fund allocation. Ensure that your total investment does not exceed the risks you can withstand, and allocate funds wisely; do not put all your eggs in one basket. At the same time, always monitor market dynamics and changes in technical indicators, flexibly adjust strategies according to market conditions, and if necessary, promptly cut losses or adjust investment amounts.
Many people may feel both excited and fearful when they hear about rolling positions, eager to try but also worried about the risks. In fact, the risk of rolling strategies themselves is not large; the key lies in the use of leverage. If used reasonably, the risks can be fully controlled.
For example, if I have 10,000 yuan as capital, and I open a position when a certain coin's price is 1000 yuan, I use 10 times leverage, but only use 10% of the total funds (i.e., 1000 yuan) as margin, which means in reality I am only using 1 times leverage. If I set a 2% stop loss line, once the market is unfavorable, I only lose 2% of this 1000 yuan, which is 200 yuan. Even if the worst-case scenario occurs and the margin call condition is triggered, you only lose this 1000 yuan, not all your funds. Those who experience margin calls often do so because they used excessively high leverage or had too heavy positions, which may trigger a margin call with minor market fluctuations. But following this method, even if the market is unfavorable, your losses are limited. Therefore, whether you use 20 times leverage or 30 times, or even 3 times or 0.5 times, the key is whether you can use leverage reasonably and control your position.
This is the basic operational process of rolling positions. Interested friends can take a closer look and study carefully. Of course, everyone may have different views; I am just sharing my experience and do not intend to persuade anyone.
How to grow small capital? The compound interest effect.
If you have a coin that doubles in value every day, after a month, its value will be astronomical. Doubling the first day, doubling again the second day, and continuing like this, the final number will be astonishing. This is the magic of compound interest. Even if you start with little capital, as long as you keep doubling, you can ultimately accumulate an astonishing figure.
For those who do not have much capital but want to enter the market, aim for big targets. Many people think that small capital should engage in frequent short-term trading for quick appreciation, but in fact, medium to long-term may be more suitable. Instead of making small profits daily, focus on achieving multiple growth in each trade; what we want is exponential growth, a leap in multiples.
In position management, first, spread the risk; do not put all funds into a single trade. You can divide the funds into three or four portions and only use one portion for each trade. For example, if you have 40,000, divide it into four portions, and use only 10,000 for each trade.
Use leverage moderately. The leverage for mainstream currencies should not exceed ten times, and for small currencies, it should not exceed four times.
Dynamic adjustments are necessary. If you incur losses, supplement with an equal amount of funds from outside; if you earn, withdraw some appropriately. In any case, do not let yourself fall into losses.
When your funds grow to a certain level, consider gradually increasing the amount of each trade, but do not increase too much at once; progress step by step.
Through reasonable position management and a sound trading strategy, small capital can gradually achieve significant appreciation. The key is to patiently wait for the right timing and focus on big targets for each trade, not small daily profits.
I also know that anyone can encounter a margin call. But at that time, I still had the profits from spot trading to make up for the losses; I also don't believe you haven't made any profits from your spot holdings. My futures only accounted for 2% of my total funds, no matter how much I lost, it wouldn't be wiped out, and the loss amount was always within my control.
But you must understand: the myth does exist, but most people cannot replicate it.
The reason is not in the market, but in methods and human nature. Today, I will completely break down the rolling position logic I have practiced, and give you a few counterexamples, telling you why most people fail and how to optimize.
Wealth code: Rolling position cognitive revolution
1. Capital protection mechanism
The traditional method is "add to position with floating profit", but I changed it to "lock in profits for reinvestment":
When the principal of 5000U turns into 7500U, first withdraw 5000U, and continue with the remaining 2500U.
Mathematically, the principal has zero loss; even if 2500U is lost, you still retain the initial 5000U.
2. Profit multiplication formula
2500U → 5000U (double), then withdraw 2500U.
This cycle means that each time there is "profit multiplication", but the principal remains safe.
3. Risk control model
Single loss should not exceed 20% of the principal.
Margin call defense mechanism: separate principal and profits to prevent large drawdowns from wiping out all profits.
Three major rolling position models (tactical approaches)
1. Trend rolling: Bull market accelerator
Suitable for weekly breakout markets (BTC/ETH breaking previous highs).
Initial position 5 times, add to position only after 50% profit.
Stop loss when breaking previous highs, moving stop loss follows.
2. Oscillation rolling: Monkey market harvester
Suitable for sideways markets (volatility <15%).
Low leverage high sell low buy, reduce positions by half at 20% profit.
Liquidate directly when breaking the upper/lower Bollinger Band.
3. Falling market rolling: Black swan catcher
Suitable for scenarios where there is a single-day drop of more than 15%.
Add positions in batches every 5% drop, total positions not exceeding 30%.
Reduce positions by half on a 10% rebound, using the "fish body trading method" to lock in profits.
The counterexamples and traps of rolling positions (why most people fail)
1. Capital protection is difficult to implement:
Many people say "withdraw when you earn 7500U", but when that moment comes, they feel the market is too good, and as a result, the principal continues to be exposed to risk, leading to a total loss after a single drawdown.
2. The mathematical trap of profit multiplication:
Theoretically, 100% profitability can lead to one split, but the market won't always give you "doubling opportunities"; many people stop or give back during the process.
3. Leverage amplifies risk:
In trend rolling, a false breakout can break the stop loss with just one spike, and if there are two or three consecutive mistakes, the funds can be directly halved.
4. Human nature game deadlock:
Oscillation rolling requires "liquidate when breaking the lower track", but most people actually doubt it is a false breakout, not cutting losses but instead adding positions, resulting in accelerated losses.
Rolling position optimization and advancement
1. Segment lock profits
Do not wait for 100% to withdraw, it can be changed to:
Lock in 10% at 20% profit
Lock in 20% at 50% profit
Lock in 30% at 100% profit
This way, even if interrupted midway, some profits can still be retained.
2. Layered leverage
Trend market: start with 2-3 times leverage, confirm the breakout then add to 5 times.
Oscillation market: control within 1-2 times, relying on frequency rather than high leverage.
3. Multi-period verification
Not only look at the weekly chart but also combine 4H and 1D trading volumes for synchronous verification to reduce false signals.
4. Capital curve stop loss
Set a total drawdown limit for overall capital (e.g., 20%), once triggered, immediately take a break, and do not continue rolling positions.
5. Position splitting and rolling
Do not go all in on a single pool:
60% used for trend/oscillation rolling
20% reserved for black swan bottom fishing
20% allocated for stable spots or arbitrage
This way, even if rolling positions fail, you won't lose everything.
Summary
The myth of turning 500U into 500,000 does exist, but that is only true for a few who hit extreme market conditions + luck.
For most people, the real wealth code is not "getting rich overnight", but rather:
No loss of principal
Profits can be retained
Strategies are replicable
I hope we can all make our funds grow like a snowball.
