The true wealth in the cryptocurrency world is not achieved through repeated short-term hits, but through a few well-planned rolling trend markets.
The first time I experienced the power of rolling positions was during that market wave in 2023. At that time, I started with $5,000 and only captured two major uptrends, and my account balance rolled up to nearly $50,000.
At that moment, I understood that for small funds to turn around, it is not about making 10% every day from 'mosquito meat', but about seizing a few major trends.
Today, I want to share how to turn $50,000 into $1,000,000 through three rolling positions. This is not a fairy tale of 'getting rich overnight', but a systematic method I have personally practiced.
1. The essence of rolling over: using profits to earn profits.
Many people misunderstand rolling over as "full position leverage attack," which is purely suicidal. The core of true rolling over is encapsulated in these eight words: increase position with unrealized gains, keep the principal safe.
Simply put, it’s about using the money earned from the principal to expand the position; the principal must never move. It’s like rolling a snowball; first, you push it to get it moving, and once it sticks to snow, you add more snow, making the snowball grow, but your hands remain outside and won’t get caught inside.
My specific approach is:
50,000 principal must be profit—if it’s borrowed money or essential living funds, operations under pressure will inevitably distort.
Only engage in bullish markets, not bearish ones. Because liquidation happens faster in bearish markets, the bull market cycle in the crypto space is much longer than the bear market.
Usually practice with 10% small positions; when the real signal comes, strike with full force.
2. The core principles of the second and third rolling over.
1. Leverage should not exceed 3 times; 1-2 times is the safest.
The pit that beginners love to fall into is "the higher the leverage, the faster the profits." I have seen retail investors open 20x leverage with 5,000, making 3,000 in their first trade, but when they increase their position in the second trade and encounter fluctuations, they directly get liquidated.
Rolling over relies on "compound interest from frequency," not single-instance windfall profits. A 3x leverage means a 33% fluctuation is required to get liquidated, combined with a 2% stop loss, allowing for a large margin of error. However, with 10x leverage, a 10% drop can lead to forced liquidation, and fluctuations of several points in the crypto space are too common to bear.
My approach is: gradual position mode, total position ≤ 10%, leverage ≤ 3 times, actual leverage ≈ 1 time. This way, even if the directional judgment is wrong, the losses are limited.
2. Only use unrealized gains for increasing positions; the principal is the bottom line.
The essence of rolling over is "making money with market money". For example, if I have a principal of 50,000 and earn 10,000, with total capital of 60,000, I can only use that 10,000 in unrealized gains to increase my position; the 50,000 principal must remain untouched.
Even if I incur losses when increasing my position, I will only lose the profits, and the principal remains. If I invest all the principal and make a mistake once, I will go back to square one, and all previous efforts will be in vain.
Just like fishermen use the fish they catch as bait, even if they don’t catch anything, they won’t lose the boat.
3. Stop losses must be strict; 2% is the red line.
“Wait a bit longer, maybe there will be a rebound.” This sentence has ruined countless people. My iron rule for myself is: limit a single loss to within 2% of total capital.
A maximum loss of 1,000 is acceptable for 50,000; when the time comes, cut immediately, without any excuses. A stop loss is not a loss; it's a ticket to continue playing, just like having to buy a ticket to enter an amusement park; occasionally stepping into a pit is normal.
3. Identifying rolling over signals: three certain opportunities.
Rolling over is not something to be used at any time; I only take action when three highly certain opportunities arise.
After a sharp drop, a horizontal breakthrough: after a significant drop, the coin price experiences a long period of horizontal fluctuation, then breaks upward with volume. This trend has a high probability of reversing.
Daily line stands back on the 120-day moving average: when the price rises above the key moving average again and both volume and price increase, while market sentiment is still relatively cold and retail investors are still complaining, it is often a good opportunity to enter.
The end of the correction in a bull market: after the price rapidly drops more than 10% in a clear bull market trend and stabilizes, there is usually a large probability of rebound.
I only choose mainstream coins among the top 50 by market capitalization and ignore altcoins. Mainstream coins have good liquidity and are not easily manipulated by single funds, making trends more stable.
4. Specific operations: my three rolling over plans.
First rolling over: 50,000 → 150,000 (catching a wave of 3x market)
The purpose of the first rolling over is to accumulate starting capital and practice my skills. I will wait until Bitcoin or Ethereum breaks through key resistance levels before entering the market.
Specific operation:
Initial position: 10% of total capital (5,000), 3x leverage.
Stop loss setting: 2% (total capital loss of 1,000).
Conditions for increasing position: increase position using 30% of unrealized gains for every 10% price increase.
Take profit condition: withdraw 20% of profits when reaching 50% profit.
A wave of 50% market movement, through rolling over operations, can achieve the goal of tripling the capital.
Second rolling over: 150,000 → 450,000 (expanding profits).
After the first successful experience, the second rolling over can appropriately increase the position ratio.
Specific operation:
Initial position: 15% of total capital (22,500), 2x leverage.
Stop loss setting: 2% (total capital loss of 3,000).
Conditions for increasing position: increase position using 30% of unrealized gains for every 15% profit.
Take profit condition: when funds reach 300,000, withdraw 100,000, leaving 200,000 to continue rolling.
The key at this stage is to seize the main upward wave in the trend and let the profits run.
Third rolling over: 450,000 → 1,000,000 (achieving the goal)
By the time of the third rolling over, I already had the successful experiences from the previous two, and my mindset was more stable. The focus in this stage is to catch the major cyclical trends.
Specific operation:
Initial position: 20% of total capital (90,000), 1.5x leverage.
Stop loss setting: 2% (total capital loss of 9,000).
Conditions for increasing position: increase position using 25% of unrealized gains for every 20% profit.
Final goal: stop rolling over when the funds reach 800,000, take out 500,000 to store in stablecoins, and continue to operate with the remaining 300,000.
5. Mindset management: the key to rolling over success or failure.
Techniques account for only 30%, mindset accounts for 70%. Many people get the method right but fail due to mindset issues.
Do not accept "stop losses are normal": it is too common to have 3-4 stop losses in 10 trades. In my previous operations, 2 out of 5 trades had stop losses, but the remaining 3 trades led to an 80% increase in capital. Treating a stop loss as a necessary cost means you won't panic.
Don't get caught up in "perfectly increasing positions": if the plan is to increase positions after a 10% profit, it's fine to do so at 9% or 15% as long as it is within the profit range. It's like farming; it doesn't matter if you plant a few days earlier or later in spring, it’s better than missing the planting season.
Regularly withdraw profits: I will withdraw 20,000 every time I earn 100,000 and transfer it to a wallet separate from my trading account. This approach has two benefits: first, it secures part of the profit; second, it reduces the amount of funds in the trading account, avoiding distortions due to excessive amounts.
6. Final reminder.
Rolling over is not a myth; it’s forged through discipline. It’s like climbing stairs; each step is ordinary, but by persisting, you can go further than others.
I once guided a brother from 2,800 USD to 45,000 USD, but on the 37th day, he secretly heavily invested in altcoins and experienced a 43% retracement overnight. I didn’t scold him; I just blocked him. It’s not that I couldn’t afford the loss, but he forgot the discipline: rolling over is not about gambling with your life; it’s about waiting for an opportunity. If you can seize it, roll; if you can’t, lie down. It’s better to miss out than to roll blindly.
Finally, I remind everyone: only invest spare money, and losing everything should not affect your life. If you really want to try, spend six months doing simulated trading and practice 100 trades before saying anything. The crypto space is never short of opportunities; what is lacking are players with patience and discipline.
