When the account balance drops to only 1800U, almost everyone advises him to exit quickly. But three months later, the account balance has surged to 92,000U. This turnaround is not luck, nor is it gambling with all his assets, but a strategy based on "rolling positions" and "position management"—a trading method misunderstood by most people.



When it comes to rolling positions, many people's first reaction is to go all-in and bet. But that's just a superficial understanding. The core of rolling positions is actually "control." Use smaller positions to explore the market, confirm the direction, then gradually increase the size, and use profits to fuel the next round of growth. This is the true essence of rolling positions.

**How to do it? Three practical steps**

First is **30% trial position, never greedy**. Use 30% of the initial capital to test new market conditions. If the direction is correct, add another 20%. Many people blow up their accounts because they go all-in on this step right away.

Second is **take profits when floating gains reach 7%-10%**. When floating profits hit the target, close part of the position immediately to lock in gains, then use this profit to increase the next position. Let profits generate more profits—that cycle is the beauty of rolling positions.

Finally, is **double the account and lock in the principal**. Every time the account doubles, withdraw half of the profits to secure them, and continue operating with the remaining funds. This way, the principal is always at zero risk, while the account keeps growing.

**The Power of Numbers**

Starting from 1800U, using only 2x leverage, and taking profit at 9% floating gains per trade. It sounds like a small return, but earning 324U per round, ten rounds would be 3240U. This is the power of compound interest—each step seems slow, but over time, this slowness transforms into exponential growth.

The same story repeats in the market: some grow steadily from 1200U to 25,000U, others roll from 1800U to 92,000U. Behind every profit is strict position control, precise rhythm, and near-rigid discipline execution.

**Human Nature and the Market**

Markets change, but human nature never does. Rolling positions is never about the fantasy of getting rich overnight, but about using iron discipline to secure the certainty of wealth. The crypto world is not short of opportunities; what’s lacking are traders who understand position control and can stick to discipline.

In the cycle of repeated losses, rather than struggling on the brink of liquidation, it’s better to re-examine your trading logic, anchor to a clear strategy, and gradually accumulate a track record. Breaking through starts with change.

ngl, the whole "1800 to 92k" narrative hits different when you actually examine the math... 2x leverage on 9% increments is just... compound interest with training wheels, not rocket science. people get obsessed with the story and miss the actual friction—slippage, fees, execution risk when you're scaling. sounds clean on paper though

To be honest, I tried the 30% trial position strategy, but the execution difficulty is much higher than what the article describes. Compound interest sounds great, but truly sticking to it for seven or eight months without greed is the hardest part. The biggest fear is that even when you follow the rules, you might encounter a black swan moment. Discipline? That's what the crypto world lacks the most. Most people self-destruct before their investments double. It seems simple, but the mindset of "secure a 9% profit and then withdraw" is really not something everyone can achieve.

Honestly, I didn't fully understand the 30% trial position before, but after reading this article, I finally understand why so many people get liquidated after a single all-in move. --- $92,000 sounds crazy, but when broken down, it's truly a live textbook of compound interest, it's just a matter of persistence in execution. --- The most heartbreaking thing is that "the crypto world doesn't lack opportunities," every day someone is betting big, but few survive. --- The concept of rolling positions is essentially a test of patience; whether you can resist going all-in is really a watershed. --- From 1,800 to 92,000, that's comparable to the three-year salary of an average worker, but the prerequisite is strict discipline, which is the hardest part. --- Closing positions every time at 7-10% profit sounds like self-castration, but from another perspective, it's about preventing being proven wrong; I get this logic. --- People who repeatedly suffer losses probably won't benefit much from this article because they simply can't change that "greed" character. --- Doubling and then locking in the principal is indeed ruthless, equivalent to using profits to play the market, reducing psychological pressure by an order of magnitude. --- Ultimately, it still depends on who can lock their emotions in a cage; that's how stories in the crypto world are written.

To be honest, I realized that 30% position sizing is already a lot for me, I just can't stick with it. Controlling desires is really much harder than technical skills; as soon as I make some profit, I want to go all in. Those guys who grow steadily are mentally strong; I need to reflect on myself.

To be honest, I never expected the 30% position sizing step before. I always thought it was either all in or not playing at all, no wonder I kept blowing up. Compound interest is indeed terrifying, but it's too difficult to execute. A 9% return just breaks even? I would definitely be greedy and try to take more... Going from 1800 to 92,000 sounds outrageous, but upon closer reflection, the logic does hold. The key is still that discipline. It really seems that doubling a normal account is not just a dream; you just need this kind of rigid execution. Taking profits is easy to say, but when the market is good, no one wants to sell...

yeah empirically speaking, the compounding math checks out but... the data suggests most people still blow accounts on emotional yolo trades lmao. position sizing isn't rocket science, governance structures in trading protocols prove this works—yet somehow everyone thinks they're the exception 🤓
