Patiently waiting for those few key moments to pull the trigger is more important than staring at the screen day and night.
Every time there is a bull market, you can always see many people rushing in and out of the exchange every day, chasing every possible opportunity, only to find that they have become the 'nourishment' of the market.
The ones I know who have really made big money in this market are actually a group of the 'laziest' people. They spend most of their time observing, waiting like hunters, and only take action at critical moments. Today, I want to talk to everyone about how this 'sniper mindset' actually works.
1 Recognize reality: Small plays will never become significant.
I must be honest: expecting to make a few percent every day will never reach the million-dollar threshold. The real wealth code in the crypto world is to seize the few major bullish waves, achieving geometric growth of funds through precise rolling positions.
What is rolling position? Simply put, it is using profits to increase positions, letting the snowball grow bigger. This is completely different from what we usually call 'trading cryptocurrencies.' Trading cryptocurrencies is about continuously seeking small opportunities, while rolling positions are about patiently waiting for big opportunities.
My own approach is:
90% of the time, practice with small positions, maintain market feel but don't get attached to battles.
When a 10% opportunity arises, dare to take a heavy position.
Absolutely only engage in bullish markets, do not participate in bearish rebounds — trends are your true friends.
2 Key moments: Three signals appearing simultaneously are opportunities.
So, when is it worth taking action? Based on my experience over the years, it is a high-probability opportunity when the following three signals appear simultaneously:
Technical confirmation: After a sharp decline, a long-term sideways consolidation, then suddenly a significant breakout through key resistance levels. This is not an ordinary rebound; it often marks the beginning of a trend reversal.
Capital confirmation: The daily level firmly stands on key moving averages (like MA50, MA120), and both volume and price rise, indicating that large funds are starting to enter.
Sentiment confirmation: This is the most counterintuitive point — when hot searches are silent, retail investors are still complaining, and the community is dead silent, the main players have often completed their position layout.
Last year, the wave I seized was when these three signals were simultaneously satisfied. Many people were still hesitating at that time, but I acted decisively, and it proved to be one of the best opportunities of the year.
3 How to operate specifically: Practical logic of small bets against large ones.
Assuming you have 50,000 in capital (must be profit, not your life savings), here are my specific operational thoughts:
Position management is key:
Total position not exceeding 10% of capital.
Leverage not exceeding 10 times
Actual risk exposure: 1x leverage.
Single stop-loss: 2%
This is how to grasp the rolling position rhythm:
Initial opening position: After confirmation of the breakout, use 5% of the capital to establish a position.
First addition to the position: After the price rises by 10%, add to the position using 10% of the new profit.
Subsequent additions: Repeat the above operation for every 10% increase.
Stop-loss discipline: Always maintain a 2% stop-loss, trigger immediately to exit.
According to this logic, a wave of 50% major bullish movement, through compound rolling positions, turning 50,000 into 200,000 is not a fantasy. Another wave, breaking 200,000 to reach 1,000,000 is within reach. This is not a theory; it's mathematics.
Risk control bottom line: Staying alive is more important than making money.
In this market, living long is key. I have set three iron rules for myself, unshakeable over the years:
Three no rolling principles:
No rolling in a volatile market.
No rolling in a declining trend.
No rolling in news hype cryptocurrencies.
Risk isolation:
Only use the incremental position model; losing a margin in a liquidation.
90% of capital locked in position; unshakeable.
Profit realization:
Withdraw at least 30% profit in each rolling position.
Buying a house, buying a car, securing profits.
Don't let paper wealth blind your eyes.
I have seen too many people stumble on this road because they were unwilling to exit when they were making money and couldn't bear to cut losses when they were losing. Remember, the market always has opportunities, but your principal may only have one.
5 The most important principle: Patience is the greatest leverage.
What the crypto world lacks the most is not opportunities, but the patience to wait. From my experience, there will be no more than three real opportunities worth heavy investment in a year. Most of the time, what you need to do is just wait.
My experience is: better to miss out than to make a mistake. Missing out doesn't lose money, making a mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.
When you truly earn your first million this way, what you gain is not just money, but a complete trading system, a deep understanding of the market, and most importantly — absolute control over your emotions.
This road is very lonely, but worth it. Because the crypto world never rewards hard workers, it only rewards those who do the right things.
