Contracts keep getting liquidated, and many people always blame luck. But to be honest, the real problem has always been on their own side.



Over the years, I've seen all kinds of ways contract traders die:

They rush to exit as soon as the market rises 10%, only to miss out on tenfold gains later; conversely, when a sharp decline hits, they gamble recklessly, and a sudden drop knocks them out immediately; even more absurd, they get the direction right but cut early due to a 5% pullback...

This kind of operation logic is even more mystical than lottery.

In fact, the strategies of experts are much simpler—go against the grain.

Most people's understanding of rolling positions is to add to winning trades, go all-in in one shot, and fantasize about getting rich quickly. This path will only lead to more losses. True position rolling only requires memorizing three sentences: protecting the principal is the first priority, adding positions at key levels, and learning to continuously take profits.

How to use the inverted pyramid method to roll positions and catch market moves? Let's talk with real numbers.

Suppose you have 10,000 USDT and predict a sharp decline will happen.

**Step one is crucial—testing phase.** Don’t go all-in right away. Start with 500 USDT to test the waters, leverage 100x to control a position of 50,000 USDT, and set a stop-loss 2% above the entry price. This stage is to verify your judgment; if signals are unclear, stay put.

**Step two, wait until profits accumulate to 50% of the initial capital.** At this point, consider adding to your position, using half of the profits earned so far. If the price breaks previous lows again, and floating profits reach 70%, continue to follow the trend. Keep the rhythm steady.

**Step three is the main event.** When the market truly starts moving and floating profits exceed the original capital, immediately open a hedge position to protect profits. When the market accelerates downward, flexibly deploy some "ghost positions" to squeeze out another profit from this last wave.

Following this logic, with a principal of 20,000 USDT facing a 30% market crash, the final settlement can reach 96,000 USDT.

This is not gambling; it’s a methodical, disciplined approach.

The market never shows mercy to anyone. It’s there to teach lessons to those who don’t follow the rules. But if you truly understand the method, wealth will naturally flow into your hands—not because of luck, but because you understand a little more than others.

That's what they say, but in reality, it all depends on your mindset. Greed at the moment will be your downfall.

That's right, most people just have a broken mentality and insist on chasing a wave of sudden wealth.

That's right, it's just a matter of poor execution. Most people simply can't follow those three sentences.

Another "methodology" article, but how many can actually execute it? No matter how eloquently it's explained, when the market comes, it's still a gamble to go all in.

ngl the "ghost positions" framing is just leverage theater dressed up in methodological language... slicing entries doesn't magically fix poor risk assessment

That's right, it's just the mindset at play. Seeing unrealized gains makes you want to sell, while a dip makes you want to buy the dip, resulting in repeated face slaps.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that they don't want to admit they're bad, shifting the blame and relying on luck for some psychological comfort.
