Rolling positions has been hyped up a lot lately.

They say it can multiply your principal dozens of times in just a few days? Sounds exciting, but let me pour some cold water on that—it’s the riskiest gamble in trading circles, designed to punish anyone who doubts the risks.

The method isn’t complicated: after opening a position, you don’t set a take-profit. Instead, you use your unrealized profits as new margin, continually adding to the same direction, trying to snowball your profits bigger and bigger. Sounds great, but what’s the price?

**First, let’s talk about how rare the real opportunities are.** Throughout the entire year, there are only one or two truly “one-way trends” that are worth risking it all for. If you miss them, all you can do is wait.

**Next, the margin for error—there is none.** You have to get the direction 100% right. If the market reverses even once, your stacked positions will instantly wipe out your account. Liquidation isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.

**Finally, human nature.** Can you really watch your unrealized profits swing wildly and still keep adding to your position? Most people surrender in fear long before the end.

Still want to try? At least remember these key points: your initial position should never exceed 5% of your total capital, only use highly liquid mainstream coins, strictly only add with unrealized profits, and set your exit signals in advance—don’t change them on the fly.

At the end of the day, my advice is simple: just watch this strategy for fun, don’t risk your real money on it. Wealth is never built on going all-in for a single bet, but by “surviving” and accumulating slowly. The market isn’t short on opportunities, but it is short on people who can survive until the next one.
