This recent market wave has indeed been exhausting, with sharp fluctuations up and down, causing many to panic and frequently enter and exit the market. A fan asked me, with only 2000U in principal, is there still a chance to turn things around?



Honestly, the amount of principal is really not the decisive factor. I’ve seen many people with a million in funds end up losing more, and also small investors who grow their capital through good timing. The key lies in whether you can manage your positions well.

For retail investors looking to quickly reverse the situation at this stage, a position rolling strategy is the most effective approach. The process I used to grow from a small principal to 140,000U was never based on luck, but entirely on hitting the right rhythm.

**The most core rule is to wait.** Not watching the market every day, nor rushing in at every opportunity. Instead, patiently wait for that critical direction to appear. I remember before BTC made a big breakthrough, I first took a very small position to test the waters. Once I confirmed the direction was correct, I held on tightly, letting profits extend naturally. During volatile periods, I never place orders—this is an iron law; reckless trading is like giving your money away for free.

**Many people get the logic of adding positions wrong.** A common mistake is: adding aggressively when losing, but closing out immediately when making profits. Playing like this will only shrink your account over time. My approach is completely opposite—initially use a very small position to test the direction, and once profits are confirmed, gradually increase. Before adding, the floating profit must be substantial enough to give confidence to withstand fluctuations. Capital pushes upward, and a slight pullback won’t scare you out.

**As for taking profits, I never do it all at once.** The strategy is: first lock in some profits to secure a bottom line, giving myself psychological safety; then let the remaining position protect the cost basis, so I’m not afraid of shakeouts; finally, leave a small position to follow the overall trend. This way, no matter which direction the market moves, profits can continue to extend.

Rolling positions is like dancing on the edge of a knife—every step must be precise. But if you keep the rhythm steady, starting with 2000U can grow to heights most people wouldn’t expect. The recent fluctuations of SOL, for those who understand position management, are actually opportunities. These are not stories; they are the processes I’ve developed over more than ten years in the crypto market.
