In the crypto world over the years, I've seen many people go broke overnight due to a lack of risk control, and I've also seen others grow steadily. Today, feeling good, I want to share some practical insights. Suppose you have 60,000 yuan and want to leverage for greater returns—how should you do it?



Many beginners get scared when they hear "leverage," thinking it's synonymous with liquidation. But that's not necessarily the case. The key lies in how you use it.

For example, when Bitcoin was at $10,000 per coin, you could open 10x leverage but only use 10% of your total funds as margin—that is, 6,000 yuan. Calculated this way, the actual leverage effect is just 1x; even if the market moves 2% against you, resulting in a loss of only 1,200 yuan. The risk of liquidation is so small that it can almost be ignored.

Someone might ask, then why do others get liquidated? Honestly, it's because they are too greedy. Going all-in with five or six times leverage, even a slight fluctuation can wipe them out. But even if liquidation occurs, you only lose that 6,000 yuan margin at most—how can you lose everything? So, the risk isn't as scary as it seems; the trick is to keep your position size and leverage under control.

The real profit logic isn't relying on a single large leverage trade but on rolling over positions. When the market rises, add to your position with floating profits—that's the key.

For example, if Bitcoin rises from 10,000 to 11,000, you can open a new position with 10% of your funds, setting a 2% stop-loss. This trade can earn 8%, which is 4,800 yuan. See, this is the power of adding to your position with floating profits—the profits grow like a snowball.

Why is this move so powerful? Because you don't need to maintain 5x or 10x leverage all the time. Stable operations usually involve maintaining 2 to 3x leverage. The key is to keep rolling over, accumulating big gains through repeated small wins.

So, when is the best time to act?

During sideways consolidation after a sharp decline. The market repeatedly tests the bottom, and suddenly one day, it breaks upward. Entering at this point, with the trend likely to continue, offers a high-probability opportunity. This is a high-confidence chance and the real moment to make big money.

Making 1 million from a 100,000 principal sounds crazy, but if you understand this logic—reasonable leverage + floating profit adding + trend judgment—it’s not a dream. The key is to stay alive; as long as you’re alive, there’s a chance.

Well said, the rolling position strategy is indeed much more reliable than all-in.

Sounds good, but how many truly make it alive until the moment of rolling the position?

Sounds good, but where are the few who made it to the end? I calculated the same last year, and as a result, a black swan directly turned my "2 to 3 times" into a 20x liquidation.

Sounds good, but I'm still scared. The idea of going all-in with my entire position just makes me nervous.
