#BTC对标贵金属的竞争格局 I have seen too many trading accounts, and the real problem is not that the market is hard to judge, but that players always die from the same mistake: unwilling to admit defeat + crazy increase the position.
There was a trader dealing with $ZEC who had been liquidated seven times in a row, and his account was about to be wiped out, with only 2000 USDT left. Everyone around advised him to stop: "If you keep going like this, it's not just the account that will be gone, but you'll be ruined too."
Three months.
Three full months later, this account has risen to over 70,000 USDT, standing firm. The main operations are $UNI and $SOL, without any insider information, and certainly no all-in bets.
What relies on? Just four words: roll position + control position.
**A major misconception about "rolling positions" must be clarified first**
When people hear the words "rolling positions," many instinctively associate it with gambling. However, those who truly engage in rolling positions are actually playing with an anti-gambler mindset.
The gambler's logic is very simple: place a bet and hope for a turnaround in one go.
The strategies of rolling warehouse players are different: they use small positions to experiment, using the profits earned to gain more operational space, and the principal must stay alive no matter what.
The fundamental difference lies here: gamblers seek quick riches, while position traders care about surviving long enough.
**How to operate this rolling position strategy? The method is a bit old-fashioned, but stable**
The first step is crucial: take out 30% of the principal to test the direction.
Did you make the right judgment? Alright, increase the position by 20%. Just don’t go in heavy right away; that’s the first line of defense for your safety.
Step 2: As long as there is floating profit, you need to stay alert.
When the account floating profit is between 6% and 9%, first take out a portion of it as profit. This is not the traditional sense of "locking in profits," but rather—using the money you earned as bullets for the next round of increase the position.
It sounds simple, but 90% of people just can't do it. The psychological barrier is too high.
Step 3: At the moment the account doubles, immediately take out half and lock it in the wallet.
The remaining funds continue to participate in rolling positions, and at this moment, a miraculous thing happens: the mindset suddenly stabilizes, the hands no longer shake, and instead, the account grows faster. Why? Because your principal has already returned, and there is no psychological pressure on each subsequent operation.
**Let's calculate the most "boring" bill**
Starting capital is 2000 USDT, using 2x leverage, the target for each operation is to gain 8 points, and close the position when reached.
+320 USDT after one round.
Ten rounds equal +3200 USDT.
Is this speed fast?
It seems slow, but when you look back, those who complained about this speed have long been wiped out.
**The most painful truth in the crypto world**
Market conditions will change, news will change, policies will change, but human nature will never change.
Rolling positions has never been about gambling on a story of overnight wealth, but about using discipline to exchange for probability and certainty.
Successful traders that I have personally experienced around me all possess three characteristics:
👉 Strict position management
👉 Precise rhythm control
👉 The execution intensity is approaching madness.
There are many opportunities in the crypto world, but there are pitifully few who can survive to the end.
Want to turn the situation around, want to break the deadlock, saying a thousand words is useless.

ngl the "roll position" thing is just position stacking with extra steps... but yeah watching people yolo their last 2k and somehow not getting rekt is lowkey insane. the discipline part though? that's where most of us fail spectacularly lol

You are absolutely right, it's the gap in execution. I've seen too many people who know these principles but just can't put them into practice, especially the step "take profit when there are unrealized gains", which is simply a form of psychological torment.

You're absolutely right; being alive is much more important than making quick money.

You're absolutely right, it's discipline that keeps you alive. My buddy is the same, he went all in on $SOL and got liquidated, but later switched to a small position strategy. Although it's slow, he has indeed survived.
