$ETH Recently, people often ask me: "With the market being so chaotic, can small funds still enter the market?"
Hearing this, I think back to when I only had 1400 oil, and I didn’t even dare to open a full-screen contract, fearing that a single mistake would lead to losing everything.
But who would have thought that this 1400 oil would eventually grow to 28,000 oil, a 20-fold increase.
At first, like most people, I was:
Fully invested, chasing hot trends, getting washed out to the point of questioning life.
After stumbling a few times, I finally understood:
Making money in trading has nothing to do with talent; the key is controlling the rhythm and managing positions.
The first step is to thoroughly understand the logic of "ladder rolling positions."
It’s not about going all in but using profits to roll over profits.
I opened my first position with 1400 oil, only using 25% of my capital, locking in profits at 8% — separating the profits to make the next trade, keeping the principal as a "moat."
Setting stop-losses and take-profits in advance for each trade, not being greedy or hesitant.
While others hope to get rich overnight, I aim for steady progress with each trade.
Gradually, my profits grew larger, and my positions expanded step by step; the solid feeling of "compound interest rolling like a snowball" is more addictive than a sudden surge.
The second step is to quickly stop-loss when the direction is wrong and dare to follow the position when it’s right.
The market has risks, but the trend is a friend.
During the 1400 oil phase, my orders were like sniping; I wouldn’t act unless I was sure, and when I saw the right trend, I would gradually follow the position, letting profits run;
when the direction was wrong, I stopped loss faster than anyone else, not holding on to the fantasy of "waiting for a rebound."
Many people lose because they "can’t bear small losses"; I can win precisely because I dare to admit mistakes, and stopping losses allows for the next opportunity.
The third step is that rolling positions rely on rhythm, not luck.
From 1400 oil to 28,000 oil, I took 45 days. No all-in bets, no insider information, relying solely on position strategy and rhythm control.
I summarized the "three-phase rolling position method":
1. Initial capital protection period
2. Profit acceleration period
3. Mental stability period
People around me who followed this method saw several times the profit, but the hardest part is the "degree"—when to increase the position and when to withdraw profits; most people get stuck here.
