Trading ultimately comes down to a ledger—win and cheer, lose and return to daily life—that's the rule of the game.



Among all strategies, the most extreme and human-testing is "rolling positions."

It doesn't rely on fancy words or mental techniques; it only depends on your ability to grasp the right direction and timing. When you operate correctly, your principal can multiply several times; if you operate incorrectly, you can be out in one move. There are no gray areas; victory or defeat is decided instantly.

I've seen people start with 5,000 USD and, after a few rounds, reach six figures. But most people fall in the final heavy position.

Ultimately, success or failure isn't about the tricks you use, but about the kind of person wielding those tricks.

The core of rolling positions—using execution power to suppress greed in human nature.

I've also gone through the hardest times, where my account could only buy a few meals. Later, I decided to use this method to quickly grow small amounts of money. The logic is actually simple: high leverage, betting on one direction only, and reinvesting the profits.

It's easy to say but hard to do; every step is a test.

The biggest challenge lies in self-control:

When you profit, can you fully withdraw according to plan?

When you lose, can you cut losses without hesitation?

In volatile markets, can you endure staying still?

Most people fall into these three traps: wanting to earn more after profits, rushing to recover losses, or participating when the trend is unclear.

The most frightening thing about rolling positions isn't misjudging the trend, but letting emotions dominate your orders.

Later, I set three bottom lines for myself:

- After two consecutive mistakes, I must stop trading for the day.
- When reaching the profit target, immediately take some profits.
- If I can't see the clear structure of the market, I prefer to wait rather than join the chaos.

Rolling positions is never a daily task; it's about waiting for the right wind and then going all out.

Now, when someone asks me whether they should try rolling positions, I respond with three questions:

✅ Is the volatility strong enough?

✅ Is the direction clear enough?

✅ Can you focus only on the middle part and ignore the ends?

If one of these questions trips you up, then don't get involved.

There is no buffer zone on this path. Either turn around quickly or exit swiftly.

Before acting, ask yourself: can I handle the worst-case scenario?

Trying to force things alone can easily lead to losing direction. Walking shoulder to shoulder with like-minded people makes the journey more solid.

That's right, liquidation is a gamble on human nature and self-control. I've seen too many people who make their first profit and then try to go all-in, only to end up getting liquidated directly.

That's so true, closing positions is just gambling on human nature... I have a friend who turned 3,000 USD into 500,000 and then lost it all back in one shot. Now he doesn't even dare to look at the market anymore.

You can tell this is a blood, sweat, and tears experience, but to be honest, rolling positions is really not something everyone can handle. The buddy I know made a profit once and couldn't stop, kept wanting to double again, but the entire system collapsed, and he's still paying off debts. Understand how much drawdown you can tolerate; it's more important than any technical analysis. Has anyone actually succeeded? Give a specific example. Damn, I need to screenshot and save these three bottom lines. Just listening to others talk isn't enough; you have to be willing to try hard yourself. All I want to say in a nutshell is, if you lack self-control, don't play; don't deceive yourself and say take it slow. I'm now waiting for a confirmed signal for this wave of ETH; if it's unclear, do nothing; if clear, go all in.

It sounds good, but 99% of people can't even take the first step. Mindset is really something that can't be practiced.

Closing positions indeed leaves no room for error; the thrill of a all-in bet is often backed by painful lessons.
