I have brought many frens who invest small amounts, and the ones who suffered the most all share a common dream - to hope for a market surge to turn their fortunes around. But every person I have seen who turned their account from 1000 to 10W never relied on a big pump overnight.
What do they rely on? Four simple words: accumulate and advance.
Many traders believe that making money relies on big pumps, but in fact, it's the complete opposite. Real growth comes from continuous rolling—treating every correct opportunity as the starting point for the next wave. The account grows bigger and bigger in such a cycle.
Why can't most people turn over? I've observed for a long time, and the conclusion is: it's not that their skills are poor, but rather the rhythm is off. They rush to grab the opportunity before the market has taken off, gamble blindly when the direction of long and short is unclear, and after one loss, they want to go all in to recover their losses. This kind of approach is the most fatal - even if you have a capital of 500,000, it can be ground down to 5,000.
**What does a real "rollover" look like?**
It's not reckless gambling, nor is it high leverage. It's not about accumulating from 20 small wins. It's about this rhythm:
When certainty appears, heavily take a position.
Take profits quickly when certainty disappears.
The order must be "guaranteed profit → roll profits → earn again", absolutely not "profit → gamble". Losses are acceptable, but can only be a small part of the last profit.
**How to operate with small funds?**
I generally have three strict requirements for myself and my frens:
**First, do not engage in chaotic fluctuations, only pursue clear directions.**
The breakout of mainstream coins, the rebound after a big pump, and the clearly defined trends—these are the opportunities to wait for. At other times, if you make moves, it's just trading experience for your life. When there’s no direction and you feel the urge to adjust your positions, that's pure gambling.
**Second, do not go all in and gamble recklessly, only focus on the sure shots.**
When I play with 50,000, I never go all in. I only use 10% of my account to leverage, with a stop loss set at 2%. If I'm wrong, I lose 1,000, but if I'm right, I can roll into the next wave. The benefit of this is that one mistake won't drop my 50,000 to 20,000, but one precise opportunity can push my account to 80,000 or 120,000.
**Third, a portion of the profit from each wave must be withdrawn.**
The essence of rolling positions is to use profits to make the next wave. Taking profits is not about being timid, but rather the key to "rolling more steadily." The more the account rises, the easier it gets; the more it falls, the calmer one remains—this is what is sustainable.
Last sentence: A wave of market can earn three times, which is much more efficient than grinding small profits ten times in ten days. It also saves lives.
