Recently, there's a very interesting phenomenon—friends around me involved in the crypto world, making money never relies on any secret, but rather the "dumbest" method. I used the rolling position method to turn 1000U into 110,000U in half a year, flipping positions with my followers. The biggest takeaway is actually one sentence: ordinary people don’t turn around by gambling luck, but by using discipline to lock in the rhythm.
**Only follow the trend, ignore the oscillations**
Oscillating markets are the most tricky. On the surface, they seem to fluctuate little and appear to offer many opportunities, but in reality, it’s like boiling a frog—no volume, no direction, throwing money away when entering. My approach is simple: focus intensely on the moment the trend starts. When the main force increases volume, when key levels are broken, when market sentiment is ignited—these signals appear and I lay in wait. Last year, before BTC broke its previous high, we entered early. Once the trend started, positions doubled immediately. The harshest way to deal with oscillations is to be completely out of the market.
**Add positions only with profits**
Start with 5% of your capital, no other rules. The key principle is: only add with floating profits, never top up with money lost. Many people get this wrong—they keep adding when losing, sinking deeper and deeper. True rolling positions expand the gains during victories, not by stubbornly holding through mistakes. Profits of 50% should be used to gradually add positions. This is not conservatism; it’s the foundation for survival.
**Take profits in three stages to avoid hunger**
This is my most commonly used "Three-Stage Take Profit Method": when floating profits reach 30%, take 1/3 to lock in gains; when it reaches 50%, take another 1/3 to recover all principal; the remaining position is set with a trailing stop-loss, letting profits run on their own.
Rhythm is always more important than暴利. In the past half year, I haven’t gone all-in once, nor held onto any luck-based hopes. It’s purely "trend + rhythm + execution" that rolled the snowball.
If you’re always shaken out by dips or making small profits but big losses, maybe it’s time to review your rhythm. Market opportunities are always there, but they only favor those who can stay steady, be patient, and act decisively.

This discipline is indeed tough, but I'm just worried that most people can't handle the moment of going all-in.
It's easiest to get cut during volatility.
Rolling positions may seem simple, but very few can truly master the rhythm.
Compared to huge profits, staying alive is the top priority, and I agree with that.
I've heard of the Tier 3 take-profit method, but executing it really requires strong willpower.
Turning 1000U into 110,000, the numbers are exaggerated, but there's nothing wrong with the discipline.
The key is not to add to mistakes, which is the dead end for the vast majority.
Those who went all-in are all regretful; playing it safe actually allows for longer survival.

That's right, volatility is indeed where money is made. I only realized this after repeatedly falling into the trap.
---
The concept of rolling positions looks simple, but very few can actually execute it. Most people still get stuck because of their mindset.
---
I've been using the three-tier take profit method for a long time. It's much more comfortable than those all-in psychological approaches.
---
The key is to be patient. Holding a vacant position is also a form of trading. This really resonated with me.
---
Withdrawing the principal is a crucial step. Many people earn initially but then lose it all back, simply because they didn't do this.
---
When the trend starts, you really need to watch it closely. Missing it might mean waiting half a year.
---
Adding to a losing position might sound stupid, but many people around me have died this way.

It does seem that discipline has won, but I feel like quite a few people know about this stuff... The real issue is that only a few can actually stick with it.

Discipline is really top-notch; I respect not going all-in on this point.
---
Holding a position even when flat is still a position; most people can't understand this.
---
Only adding 50%, how long do I have to endure... but this way of living indeed lasts longer.
---
The three-tier take profit sounds simple, but the real challenge is the mindset when executing.
---
People who got wiped out by volatility probably regret not seeing this.
---
That last sentence hit the mark; making small profits and losing big means there's no rhythm.
---
The logic of adding to floating profits is sound; those who cover losses are indeed blowing up.
---
From 1,000 to 110,000... if these are real figures, this compound interest is a bit terrifying.
---
Trend trading, simply put, is about making big money by being patient; nothing else.
---
I'm the kind of person who adds to losing positions; now I understand what it means to hold on stubbornly.
