Starting from $3000, rolling to $100,000: How to operate in a volatile market (the third strategy many dare not try)
In a sideways market, are you being cut repeatedly by both sides?
This is actually a great opportunity to roll your positions! In May, I took $3000 and rolled it to $27,000, and after slight adjustments in June, my account directly broke through $100,000.
Let me share three key practical points, the last one particularly tests your execution ability—let's see if you dare to keep up:
In a volatile market, don't just bet on one side, you need to catch both long and short
Many people are used to only taking one direction, but I will set both long and short conditional orders on ETH at the same time.
For example: short if it breaks 3650, stop loss at 3680;
long if it breaks 3720, stop loss at 3690.
On June 3rd, ETH was fluctuating, and I made $200 on both sides.
Key point: control each position decisively at 10% (for example, $300), once profits exceed 5%, immediately move the stop loss to the cost price, never be greedy.
After making money, adding to your position in the opposite direction is really tough
When my account surged to $5000, I did something quite crazy:
First, I withdrew $2000, locking in profits.
The remaining $3000 was split into three parts, and after making profits, I pyramided my positions—adding more as the price rises.
For example, on June 5th, when SOL broke 180, I first entered a long position of $1000, added $2000 at 185, and continued to add $3000 at 190. I took all profits at 195, making over $8000.
Note: don't let the total position exceed half of the account, each time you add to your position, it must come with a stop loss, which I usually set 1% above the cost.
Ultimate mindset—'Phantom Position'
This trick allowed me to make three times during a big drop in BTC, but due to the sensitivity of the operational details, it’s not convenient to disclose.
— In a bull market, it relies on courage, in a volatile market, it relies on strategy.
Many people don't miss opportunities to make money, but when it's time to earn, they dare not charge in, and when losing, they desperately supplement, resulting in greater losses.
