#数字资产市场动态 A friend recently asked me, "The market trend is right, why am I still losing money?" I poured cold water on him—it's not about predicting correctly or incorrectly, but about your ability to roll your positions!
The truth about liquidation in the crypto world isn't that complicated. When prices rise, you fully close your positions; when they fall, you aggressively add to your positions; during rebounds, you leverage even more. On the surface, it looks intense, but the result is your account depletes faster than anyone else. This kind of approach is doomed to fail.
Those who have survived longer in the crypto space use a completely different logic—a comprehensive rolling position system. The core idea is eight words: protect the principal and let profits rotate. No gambling, no all-in shots, just decisive actions at key moments.
I’ll break down this method in more detail, making it especially practical:
**Stage One: Trial and Error**
Suppose your account has $10,000. You judge the market to be bearish. Don’t go all-in right away; start with a small position of 5%. Set a reasonable leverage multiple and strictly define your stop-loss. If there’s no clear signal, keep observing. Losing a little is like winning.
**Stage Two: Rolling Up Positions**
If your trial trade shows floating profit, start rolling! When profits reach 50%, take half of the profit to add to your position; if the market continues in your expected direction, use the remaining profit for a second addition. Always use the profits earned to expand your position, keeping your principal as safe as if stored in a safe. Even if the market reverses later, at worst, the profits are lost, and your original capital remains intact.
**Stage Three: Lock in Gains**
When floating profits exceed your principal, immediately use hedging orders to lock in the bottom positions. As the market nears the end, you can place a light position to catch the final acceleration.
Using this logic, you’ll notice a magical phenomenon: in trending markets, you don’t need precise predictions. As long as you follow the trend closely, profits will keep rolling in.
Many traders spend every day immersed in indicator research, model optimization, and news analysis, exhausting themselves. But in reality, the key moment that makes a difference is just those few minutes—whether you can avoid emotional hijacking and make the right decision.
If you keep adding to positions, cutting orders repeatedly, and leveraging over and over, you'll never keep up with the market rhythm.
Rolling positions, at its core, isn’t some get-rich-quick secret, but a system that allows you to survive long-term in the crypto space. Predicting the right direction isn’t that hard; the real challenge is sticking to every profit you make until the very end.
