After losing 200,000, many people choose to exit the market. But one trader didn't do that. He persisted and used a rolling position strategy to turn the situation around, not only stopping the loss but also reaching new highs. This turnaround process actually involves just five moves. While simple in concept, very few can truly execute it.
**Be cautious from the start—small positions to test, large positions to harvest**
In the early stages of a trend, no one can predict accurately. So only use 10%-15% of your capital to test the trend, confirm the direction is correct, then add positions with profits. Never risk your principal. This way, even if your judgment is wrong, losses stay within manageable limits.
**Losses are the most expensive tuition—strictly control drawdowns**
Set stop-losses on every trade. If the drawdown reaches 3%, cut the position immediately—don't hesitate. The market won't give you a break just because you want to turn the tide; in fact, hesitation will punish you.
**Profit on profit—trend-following position rolling**
Don't take profits prematurely; reinvest immediately into the next trade. This allows the account size to grow steadily. Once you catch a trend, the profit acceleration can be incredible. Conversely, losses are also generated from trading itself, so psychological pressure is much lower.
**Better to miss out than to act recklessly—only catch the main upward wave**
When there's no clear trend, staying out of the market is the most comfortable. Missing a few waves doesn't matter. But once the main upward wave starts, one trade can make up for all previous regrets. This is the most efficient approach.
**Lock in profits in stages—three-tier take-profit method**
When the market surges, take profits in three steps. Even if there’s a pullback or crash afterward, you’ve already secured some gains. No need to watch your unrealized profits turn into losses.
His turnaround plan is as follows: Week one, steadily accumulate small gains to get a feel for the market; week two, increase positions and roll over, speeding up; week three, catch a major upward wave, and the account will soar. The entire process is a contest of execution and risk control. Opportunities in the market are always present; what’s scarce are those who can persist in executing their strategy.

Sounds good, but how many people actually cut their positions when there's a 3% pullback? I haven't seen any.

To be honest, this set of theories all sound correct, but when it comes to actual execution, the mindset collapses... How many people can really stick to a 3% stop-loss?

It sounds good, but how many people can really withstand a 3% drop and cut their positions? Being soft-hearted is the main reason for losses.
