#数字资产市场动态 A fan once complained to me about his trading experience: over two years, he kept thinking about getting rich overnight, always going all-in each time, never taking a stop loss. As a result, he blew up his account several times and basically lost confidence.



Later, he and I discussed the strategy of rolling positions, which proved immediately effective—within just 3 weeks, he turned a $3,000 principal into $9,700, completely turning his situation around.

I didn't tell him any complex theories, just focused on the core idea: use small positions for trial and error. As long as you make a profit, treat that profit as "ammunition" to invest in the next trade. Even if you hit a stop loss, you only lose the previous gains, and the principal is always protected.

For example, when opening the first trade, he only used 20% of his total capital for the trial. Once he achieved a 2% profit, he locked in part of the gains, and the remaining profit was used to open a new position.

I also set up a "three-layer screening" before entering the market:

1. Observe market sentiment—when everyone is shouting "guaranteed rise," it's actually time to stop and avoid chasing high;
2. Track the main force's traces—wait for clear accumulation signals before acting, don't gamble based on intuition;
3. Examine your own state—if you're feeling anxious or want to go all-in, stay put and don't act impulsively.

He really followed these steps, stopped going all-in, and stopped blindly following various "market groups" messages. Instead, he operated steadily step by step.

He later told me that now he doesn't rush to withdraw even when earning $100, but continues to use that money to open new positions—if he ends up losing everything, his principal remains intact, and his mindset is very stable.

This is actually the key point:
Many people want to lock in their profits immediately after earning a little, fearing that their gains will fly away again; but long-term consistent traders are often willing to let profits flow and compound continuously.

Rolling position trading doesn't require winning every time—just winning 6 out of 10 trades can still ensure steady account growth.

In the crypto world, there's never a shortage of lucky people; what’s truly lacking is discipline and execution—these two qualities.

Seeing him transform from an impatient retail trader into a steady trader who "protects the principal first, then rolls profits," I am genuinely happy for him. This is what it means to survive long in the market.

The opportunity is right here; the key is whether you have the determination to change, break free from the cycle of losses, and embrace steady growth.

Three weeks from 3000U to 9700U? Haha, I don't believe you at all. Rolling positions is indeed interesting, but I've heard this story too many times... It sounds good, but can you really hold up when it comes to execution? I just want to know. Protect the principal first, then talk about other things. Don't be brainwashed by those chicken soup messages in the groups.

Can 3000U be turned into 9700U in three weeks? That number sounds... a bit questionable, but the logic of rolling positions really isn't wrong.

3000U to 9700U? 3 weeks? Why do I feel like these numbers are a bit suspicious...
