Last week, a fan from Chengdu private messaged me: 'Bro, I only have 10000 spare money, can I make 100000 in the crypto market?'
I directly sent him a screenshot of my trading records from three years ago—back then, I relied on 12000 capital, using rolling warehouses to catch two major trends, and now my account has two more zeros. It's not that I'm amazing; it's that most people play rolling warehouses like a 'suicidal charge'. Today, I'm sharing my 'safe rolling warehouse method' which beginners can follow. Catching the right trend once can save you five years of struggle!
Let me break a rumor: Rolling warehouses ≠ liquidation; it's your greed that causes trouble.
I've seen too many people shake their heads at the mention of rolling warehouses, saying 'that's a gambler's play', which is purely a cognitive bias! Those who face liquidation never lose because of leverage; they lose due to the greed of 'wanting to use 100 to gamble for 100000'.
My safety rule: Open 10x leverage with a 10000 capital, only use 10% of the position to enter! Let's do the math: 10% position means 1000, 10x leverage corresponds to contracts worth 10000, the actual risk is almost the same as using 10000 to buy spot. True risk control is locking a single position within 10%, with a stop-loss line set at 2%. Even if I make a wrong judgment, I only lose 200 at most; this is the essence of rolling warehouse—using small risks for large gains.
The essence of rolling warehouses is 'an upgraded version of floating profits', but I never recommend beginners to touch leverage above 5x; 2-3x is the 'safe zone'. Control the total risk multiple within 2-3 times, like wearing a seatbelt while driving—it doesn't affect your acceleration but can save your life.
Here comes the practical stuff: Two-step rolling warehouse path, beginners can easily copy it
Don't listen to those who say 'grab opportunities every day'. The major trend in the crypto market only comes around once every two years, and patience is 10 times more important than skills! My practical path is just two steps, so simple that if I can't remember it, I consider it a loss.
Step one: First, accumulate a 'safety cushion' (10000→50000)
Do not touch leverage at this step! Wait for the market to experience a sharp decline (like mainstream coins dropping over 30%), then enter a sideways consolidation period. When a 'V-shaped reversal' occurs—suddenly rebounding with strong volume after hitting the bottom and holding for three consecutive days without making new lows—that's the time to buy the dip with spot. I did this in 2019 when a certain mainstream coin dropped from 10000 to 3000. After consolidating for a month, it rebounded. I went all in and multiplied my investment by five in four months, turning 10000 into 50000. While such opportunities require waiting, seizing them guarantees a 'safe profit', which is 100 times more reliable than staring at the market all day trading.
Step two: Steady rolling warehouse (50000→1000000)
With a 50000 safety cushion, you can start using 'profits to roll profits'. Remember the signal: When mainstream coins break through key resistance with strong volume (like previous horizontal highs) and hold steady for two days, that's the signal for trend initiation! At this point, use 2-3 times leverage, still entering with 10% of the position—like starting with 50000 capital, using 5000 to open 2x leverage, corresponding to contracts worth 10000.
In 2021, I operated this way. After breaking through, I held for a month and directly multiplied by four, turning 50000 into 200000; then I waited for the next breakthrough signal and multiplied by five again, turning 200000 into 1000000. It's not that I'm lucky; once a trend forms, it will carry you along. All you have to do is 'get on the bus and don't get off'.
Lastly, let me say something heartfelt: Don't be a 'gambler', be a 'hunter'
Leverage is not scary; what's scary is treating it like a 'lottery for overnight riches'. Before I enter the market, I always ask myself: 'Do I have an 80% confidence in this wave?' If not, I stay out, even if I see others making money—there are always opportunities in the crypto market; what's lacking are those who can survive to wait for the opportunities.
Think about it, going from 10000 to 100000 seems like a 100-fold increase, but if you split it into two rolling warehouses, one time fivefold and another time twentyfold; or three times threefold, you can still reach 810000—doesn't seem so unattainable, does it? The key is not to be greedy, not to over-invest, and not to hold onto positions.
Next time the market crashes, don't panic and cut losses; remember to come back and read this article—perhaps your first 'small target' is hidden in that V-shaped reversal. Follow me, and later I'll teach you how to accurately judge 'breakthrough signals'. Let's slowly become rich together in the crypto market, not as 'flash-in-the-pan' gamblers, but as 'steady and reliable' hunters!
