There’s always a group of people in the market whose account balances skyrocket like a rocket, multiplying dozens of times in just a few months. Meanwhile, more people are repeating the same cycle: chasing highs—getting trapped—cutting losses—then chasing highs again.

What’s the real difference? It’s not about who’s luckier or who has better information. The core lies in one word: position rolling strategy.

But this is a double-edged sword. Used correctly, it’s a wealth accelerator; used wrongly, it instantly turns your account into a meat grinder, wiping out your capital.

The real money-making logic behind position rolling can actually be summed up in eight words: add on profits, never touch your principal.

Let’s look at a real scenario: suppose you have 100,000 in funds.

Step one, only use 20%, which is 20,000, to open a position. Price goes up 10%? Great, take that 2,000 profit off the table, then use this money to add to your position. If the trend keeps going, keep stacking with the profits you’ve earned. The principal? Let it sit there untouched.

This way, even if the trend suddenly reverses, the most you’ll lose is part of your profits, instead of watching your principal get slashed or even wiped out.

Where do most people lose money? It’s not because they can’t read candlesticks, but because their mindset and actions are completely backwards:

When the price is rising, they’re afraid to add to their position for fear of chasing the top;
When the price is falling, they frantically add more to average down;
They know the market is manipulated by whales, but still insist on trying to bottom-fish in leveraged contracts.

For position rolling to truly work, you need three prerequisites:

1. The trend must be clearly upward—don’t mess around in a choppy market;
2. Market sentiment needs to be hot, ideally with coins everyone is talking about online;
3. Choose mainstream coins controlled by big players—avoid obscure, unpopular tokens.

Take my previous $SOL trade as an example:

- When the price broke its previous high, I started with 20% of my position to test the waters;
- After a 20% rise, I took out the profits and added more;
- When it was up 50%, I added again;
- When the price started stalling or dropped below a key moving average, I took profit on everything and exited.

The result? The account grew 2.8 times in that round.

That wasn’t sheer luck, but the outcome of strict discipline.

Don’t let flashy indicators and short-term volatility mess with your head. If you want steady returns in a bull market, remember these three moves: position rolling, take profits in batches, and manage your emotions.

For example, if you’re up 10%, immediately move your stop-loss line higher to lock in some profits; when you hit key resistance, cash out half your position first, and let the rest ride in case of a breakout.

There’s never a shortage of opportunities in the market—what’s lacking are people who can stick to their strategy to the end.
