Some time ago, someone asked me: "Even though I clearly judged the right direction, why did I still get liquidated in the end?"

My answer was straightforward: "Because you don't know how to roll your positions."

Honestly, most liquidations in the crypto space are not really about luck; the real issue lies in the method. Many people rush to sell at the first sign of a rise, aggressively add to their positions with a slight dip, and exit at the first correction— the more frequently they operate, the more thoroughly they lose.

Those who can consistently profit never rely on "divine predictions." They depend on discipline and strategy.

Rolling positions isn't complicated; the core logic is just three sentences: First, preserve your principal; second, add to your position with the profits earned; third, patiently wait at critical points.

How exactly to operate? Suppose you have 10,000 USDT in your account and are bearish on a certain coin—

**Testing Phase**
Start with a trial order of 500 USDT, possibly using higher leverage, but set a stop-loss properly. If there are no clear signals, just let it go—small losses are still gains. The goal here isn't to make big money but to verify your judgment.

**Profit-Adding Phase**
If the trial order earns 50%, take half of the profit and add to your position; if the market continues to break down, use the remaining profit to add more. What's the key? Only operate with profits throughout, never touch the principal. The principal is always the bottom line.

**Protection and Harvest Phase**
Once floating profits exceed the principal, hedge to lock in gains. When the trend is about to end, you can place a "hidden order" to catch the final acceleration.

You'll find that once this mode is running smoothly, riding a trend can double your gains. This isn't gambling; it's an opportunity that comes from patience.

Some think technical indicators are the most important, but in reality, the most valuable moments are those few minutes—when you're not swayed by emotions and stay clear-headed. Methodology will always be much more important than courage.

The crypto market looks fierce, but for those who follow the rules, it’s actually quite rational. If you're still stuck in the vicious cycle of "random adding, random trading, random stress," what you truly lack isn't more analysis tools, but a rolling system that allows you to survive and see the next wave of market opportunities.
