There are two extreme types of accounts in the crypto world: one that gets rich quickly, and more often, one that dies suddenly.

You've probably heard stories of turning 5,000 yuan into over a million in half a year, which are common in the community. But then comes another scene—one day the account shows a red profit of 50,000, and the next day a retracement wipes it all out, even leading to liquidation.

It's not bad luck behind this, but flawed strategies.

People habitually blame technical skills, inaccurate indicators, or wrong directions, but honestly, losing money boils down to two words: not stopping.

Regarding position rolling, there are many misconceptions. Many interpret it as daily tinkering, but the real logic of rolling positions is only to act in "sufficiently strong" market conditions.

Why do most contract traders end up losing? Three self-destructive behaviors:

1. Trading recklessly when the market is weak;
2. Taking small profits and then going all-in or adding to positions;
3. Holding on stubbornly when the market turns downward.

Those who can actually grow their accounts are surprisingly disciplined.

Here's a rolling strategy I use, which might sound harsh but is effective:

**Win the first trade, withdraw the principal immediately.** Once the first profit is in, pull out the principal, and use only the profits for subsequent trades. No matter how the market swings, your mindset stays stable.

**The more you earn, the smaller your bets.** If floating profits reach 50%, immediately move the stop-loss up to the entry price, locking in at least 30% of the profit. It’s not about squeezing the last bit, but about firmly preventing gains from evaporating back to zero.

**Don’t enter before the trend is confirmed.** True position rolling depends not on trading frequency but on the strength of the trend explosion. Without a clear trend, it’s better to watch; in a market without volatility, taking risks is not worth it.

Many people aren’t really unable to make money, but they can’t hold onto what they’ve earned.

The real gap in the crypto world is never about who catches the bottom more often, but about who can protect what they’ve already gained. That’s the core competitive advantage.
