Rolling positions is a high-risk strategy that leaves no room for mistakes, but some trading experts persistently play it. Simply put, if the direction is correct, profits can grow like a snowball, becoming increasingly larger.
Recently, there was a case worth noting. A trader, in just 6 days, used a rolling short position strategy to turn a $3 million principal into $18.5 million. The magnitude of this growth is quite remarkable.
Even more impressively, this trader has shown no signs of stopping. In the early hours, he was still adding to his position, and the current short position value has reached $304 million. Such a scale of holding can cause huge fluctuations with even a slight market movement, but he clearly has his own judgment and risk control strategies supporting this decision.
From the data, this rolling position approach can be incredibly powerful when the market trend is clear. However, it’s important to recognize that the hidden risks are not negligible—if the market reverses or a black swan event occurs, losses can also escalate exponentially. That’s why most ordinary traders dare not play with this strategy.

3 million to 18.5 million? This guy must be using a cheat device or something, feels like he could go to zero at any moment.

3 million to 18.5 million? Is this guy really ruthless or truly crazy? I can't tell the difference.

6 days, 300 million. This guy really isn't afraid of death. One reverse and it's all gone, right?

3 million to 18.5 million, this guy is really playing with fire. Just in 6 days, it doubled? And now he's still daring to push it to 300 million? Is he crazy?

In 6 days, from 3 million to 18.5 million, this guy is really fierce, with a huge amount of courage.
