Not long ago, a fan contacted me to share his two-year experience in cryptocurrency trading: eager to get rich quickly, he always entered the market heavily without setting stop-losses, and as a result, after a few liquidations, he almost lost his confidence.
After learning the rolling strategy from me, he turned 3000U into 9700U in just 3 weeks, completely breaking out of the loss cycle.
I didn't explain too many complicated theories to him, just highlighted one core logic:
Start with a small position to test, and once you make a profit, treat it as "bullets" to roll into the next trade—even if you have to stop-loss, you only lose the profits you've made, and the principal remains safe.
For example, in the first trade, he only invested 20% of his principal, locked in part of the profit when it reached 2%, and then used the remaining profit to open a new position.
I also required him to pass through "three gates" before each trade:
1. Look at market sentiment—when everyone is shouting "must rise", stop and avoid chasing highs;
2. Watch the main force's movements—wait for obvious accumulation signals to enter, don’t guess blindly based on feelings;
3. Check your own state—as long as you feel anxious or want to gamble, firmly do not operate.
He strictly followed this and no longer went all-in, nor did he blindly follow various "signal groups", but instead took steady steps.
Later, he told me that now even if he only makes 100U, he is not in a hurry to withdraw, but instead uses this part of the profit to open new trades—even if he loses, the principal is not affected, and his mindset is particularly steady.
This is actually the key:
Many people want to cash out as soon as they make a little profit, feeling at ease; but those who can sustain profits are often the ones brave enough to roll their profits.
Rolling does not require winning every time; even winning 6 out of 10 times can steadily double the account.
The crypto space has never lacked luck; what it lacks is discipline.
Watching him transform from a "hasty to get rich" retail trader into a "first protect the principal, then roll profits" steady trader, I feel even more gratified than he does—this is how to live longer in the market.
The path has been paved, now it depends on whether you are willing to take this step, join Sister Lin, break free from the loss cycle, and move towards steady growth.
