Don't remind me again today

A fren contacted me to review a few days ago: #特朗普加密货币政策新方向


"Clearly, the trend judgment was correct, so why did the account still go to zero?"
The answer I gave him was very heart-wrenching— you didn't understand the underlying logic of rolling positions at all.

In the futures market, 90% of liquidations have nothing to do with luck.
Where is the problem? It lies in the operating habits.
As soon as there's a slight profit, one rushes to cash out, and when a pullback occurs, one frantically adds orders, resulting in being wiped out by a single market washout — the essence of frequent trading is just giving money to the market.
Those who really make money do so not by predictive ability, but by executing discipline.

Many people misunderstand rolling over, thinking that if there is a floating profit, they should go all in, or if there is a loss, they should hold on until the end.
The truth is just the opposite.
What is the core of rolling positions? Three words: protect the principal, roll the profits, and hit the nodes.

Let me break down a practical case for you.
Assuming you have 10,000 U in your account, and you now judge that the market is going to fall.

**First layer: Error cost control**
Don't rush to heavily invest; start with a 500U order to test the waters. You can appropriately increase the leverage, but the stop-loss position must be set in advance.
Before the signal appears, it's better to miss out than to act rashly—reducing losses is equivalent to making a profit in disguise.

**Second Layer: Profit Reinvestment Mechanism**
If the trial order profits by 50%, this is not the time to withdraw and celebrate, but rather to take out half of the profit and continue to increase the position.
When the price breaks through the key support level, add to the position with the remaining profit one more time.
Note: The entire process involves moving the money earned, the principal of 10,000 U remains unchanged.

**Third Layer: Protection Locking Strategy**
Once the market truly starts and the floating profit exceeds the principal scale, immediately implement hedging protection.
At the end of the trend, place an aggressive "tail order" to bet on the last wave of acceleration.

You will find that after adjusting the method, a complete wave of market trends can multiply your account several times.
This is not gambling; it is waiting for a certain opportunity; it is not about chasing high profits for excitement, but about stepping in sync with the market rhythm.

Many people are superstitious about various technical indicators and quantitative models, believing that these are the keys to success.
But to be honest, what is the most valuable ability?
It is those few minutes when you can hold back from closing your position during a floating profit drawdown.
It is the time when you can hold back from opening a position before the signal appears.
Methodology is always more important than the size of one's courage.

The crypto market looks dangerous on the surface, but it is actually fair to those who understand the rules.
If you are still stuck in the cycle of randomly adding positions, taking profits, and blindly increasing leverage,
What you lack is not more candlestick tutorials,
but rather a risk control system that allows you to survive both bull and bear markets.

At the end of the day: identifying the right direction is just the first step, the real challenge lies in how to convert unrealized gains into tangible profits.

Honestly, I've heard too many stories about "being on the right track yet still losing money"... The key really is discipline. If the execution is a bit off, the whole plan goes to waste, and this hit home for me. But to be honest, rollover sounds simple, but it's really hard to do; it's tough to maintain the right mindset. I used to have that habit of taking profits too early, but now I'm losing much less... This system is indeed worth pondering; otherwise, no matter how amazing the Technical Analysis is, it would be pointless.

Seriously, after watching so many rollover tutorials, 99% of people still die at the stop loss stage. Is the secret to not getting liquidated really that simple? I have to try the strategy of protecting the principal. The point about resisting the urge to make a move hits home too hard; my hands always feel itchy. Continue to roll the money earned, never touch the principal; this logic is indeed clear. Instead of studying candlesticks, it’s better to solidify risk control first, truly.

Really, the key is to resist the urge to take action. I just get easily fooled by the Whipsaw.

You're not wrong, really. I'm the kind of person who wants to run as soon as I have a bit of unrealized gains, and every time I end up getting slapped in the face. Oh my, this is the reason I get liquidated... I really can't help but do margin replenishment, it's definitely a terminal illness. Keeping the principal and rolling the profits is a tough idea; I feel like I completely misunderstood it before. To be honest, leverage is poison; when your mindset collapses, any methodology is useless. I need to carefully ponder this risk control logic, otherwise, I'm really just working for the exchange.

You are absolutely right, discipline is ten thousand times more important than prediction. The guys around me who are trading often are all of the same type.

To be honest, the risk control system is not wrong, but 90% of people will still operate chaotically after listening to it. The money earned should indeed be rolled, but the key is that most people simply lack this determination. Seeing a drawdown makes them want to add positions; this issue needs to be addressed, my friend.

You're right, that's the reason I lost everything before. Frequent trading really is just giving money to the market makers, and I only understand that now.
