Do you know what the difference is between 5,000U and 1MU?

It's not luck, insider information, or suddenly catching a hundredfold coin.
The only difference is: can you avoid destroying yourself in those first 10 or 20 trades?
I've seen someone grow from 5,000U to 800kU, and I've seen someone turn 100kU into zero in three days.
In the end, the real factor that determines whether you can turn things around is not how fast you make money, but whether you can hold onto these three critical survival lines:
First, leverage must be low enough that you find it boring
Many people start with 10x or 20x leverage, thinking they’re making quick money. But if they get the direction slightly wrong, their account is gone.
People who truly know how to roll positions keep it slow. For me, 1-2x leverage is normal, 3x is already the limit. Because rolling isn’t about how much you make on this one trade, but whether you can survive 10 or 20 consecutive trades.
Too high leverage isn’t compound interest; it’s gambling on when you’ll go broke.
Second, only use unrealized gains to roll, don’t touch the principal
If you grow from 5,000U to 6,000U, that extra 1,000U can be used to amplify your position. But the initial 5,000U should be kept intact.
Because the principal is your life, while unrealized gains are for taking risks.
The stupidest thing many people do is to immediately go all-in after making a little profit. Then, if the next trade goes wrong, they lose everything—what they earned before and their capital.
People who know how to roll positions always play with the money the market gives them, never risking their last hand.
Third, stop-loss must be cold-blooded
2%, that’s it—2%
If you have 5,000U, lose no more than 100U; if you have 10kU, lose no more than 200U. Cut it when it hits. Don’t think “wait a bit” or “it should come back.”
The most expensive words in crypto are “wait.”
Because most liquidations aren’t caused by losing everything on the first trade, but by not stopping loss early, holding on longer and longer, until finally, everything is taken away.
Remember, the core of rolling positions isn’t about making huge profits quickly, but always leaving yourself a chance to come back.
