At three in the morning, he called, his voice trembling: "Brother Su, I got liquidated again. I was right on the direction, but a four-point retracement wiped me out."

I asked him how he opened his position. $XAU
"I was sure about shorting, so I threw in 8,000 USDT with 50x leverage."
I said, you got the direction right, but you didn't leave yourself any room to survive. $TAIKO
Going all in with 8,000 USDT, a four-point retracement zeroed you out. What good is getting the direction right?
There was silence on the other end of the line. After a moment, he quietly asked: "So how do you actually play it?"
I didn't give him any grand theories; I just sketched out a framework. $M
Many people think rolling positions means "adding to floating profits, going all in, getting rich quick." That's dead wrong. With that kind of play, one retracement and you're back to square one.
The real core of rolling positions comes down to three sentences:
Never touch the principal.
Only add positions when key levels are breached.
Only roll in with the profit portion.
Take 10,000 USDT principal as an example. First open 500 USDT with 100x leverage, so the position is 50,000 USDT. Set the stop loss near the entry price; if wrong, you only lose 500.
When that 500 USDT floats to 250 USDT profit, use half of that profit to add to the position. If the price breaks below the previous low, then add 70% of the remaining profit.
Throughout the whole process, the principal of 10,000 USDT never moved.
When the market dropped 30%, the account went from 10,000 to 48,000. The principal is still that 10,000, and all profits were extracted from the market.
He took this method and ran it for half a month, then messaged me: "Finally I know where I went wrong before.
It wasn't that I couldn't see the direction correctly; I was betting with my life the whole time."
