#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Seeing others show off dozens of times returns, have you ever doubted yourself?
Everyone is in the same market, so why are you always stuck in the vicious cycle of loss—averaging down—liquidation?
The truth might sting: it’s not that you’re unlucky, it’s that your method was wrong from the start.
Position rolling, when used correctly, can rapidly grow your capital; used incorrectly, it’s a meat grinder. Many people lose everything because of one fatal mistake—betting with their principal.
I’ve seen too many of these operations: when the market goes up, you’re afraid to chase; when it drops, you go all in to catch the bottom. You miss the main upward wave, and in a sideways market, you give back all your profits. Even worse, knowing the whales are manipulating the market, you still stubbornly open leveraged positions.
The core of rolling positions is just eight words: use profits to roll, don’t touch your principal.
How do you do it? Here’s an example.
Suppose you have 100,000. For the first trade, only use 20,000 (20%). If it goes up 10%, take out that 2,000 profit and use it to add to your position. If the trend continues, keep rolling up with the money you’ve made. Even if the trend reverses, what you’ve taken out is profit, not your principal.
But there are prerequisites to this strategy.
The trend must be clearly upwards. The market needs to be hot, ideally with coins everyone is talking about. Also, pick hot assets controlled by whales—never touch obscure coins.
Take $SOL as an example—I operated like this before:
When it broke the previous high, I entered with 20% of my position to test the waters; after a 20% rise, I took out the profit and added more; at a 50% rise, I chased again; once the price started to stall or broke a key moving average, I exited everything.
This round, I made about 2.8x returns.
It wasn’t luck, it was strict execution of the plan.
If you want steady profits in a bull market, rolling positions + partial profit-taking + emotion control are the three most effective moves. When you’re up 10%, move your stop-loss up to lock in some profit. When you hit resistance, sell half first and keep the other half for a potential breakout.
Stop letting candlestick charts and short-term fluctuations lead you by the nose.

That's right, but the worry is that some people will still go all-in after hearing this... True profit comes from this bit of self-discipline.

To be honest, I've heard the saying "use profits to roll your principal" way too many times, but the key issue is that most people simply can't execute it.

To be honest, 2.8x sounds great, but how many people can actually survive to cash out?

To put it simply, it's a mindset issue. No one who goes all-in ends up well.
