The most impressive example in the crypto world is this type of story: starting with 5,000 yuan, through half a year of rolling positions, reaching over 1 million. Sounds fictional? But the even crazier reality is—someone just earned 500,000 in profit the day before, and the next day their account was wiped out. This is not an isolated case but a common scene in the contract market.
Why does this happen? The core issue is actually simple: most people don’t want to wait, and they don’t know how to wait. Daily trading, frequent order opening, and impatience for quick gains—ultimately, the more they trade, the more they lose. They simply don’t understand that—in the crypto circle—"waiting" is precisely the most scarce skill.
The essence of the rolling position strategy is one sentence: wait until the most intense market movement appears, then concentrate your efforts. What is the most common fatal mistake for beginners? Making a small profit and immediately adding to their position. When a pullback occurs, they get liquidated instantly. The correct approach should be: after the first profitable trade, withdraw all the principal and only use the pure profit to continue trading. The benefit of this is maintaining a calm mindset and thoroughly controlling risk.
The specific execution logic is as follows: when the account gains 50%, immediately move the stop-loss to the opening cost price to lock in potential losses; after the funds double again, at least reserve 30% of the profit as a buffer. Only then can you truly hedge against the risk of a market reversal. The earlier you master these details, the longer you can survive in the market.
There is also a deadly point many people overlook: the ability to make money and the ability to preserve money are two different things. After making a profit, they are reluctant to take profits and always want to earn a little more. As a result, when the market reverses, all the previous gains are wiped out, even resulting in losses. Instead of regretting afterwards, it’s better to make decisions in advance—be decisive when it’s time to act, and be ruthless when it’s time to take profits.
Market opportunities are fleeting. Hesitate once and you miss a wave; hesitate again and you miss the next. Instead of repeatedly hesitating, it’s better to clarify your trading logic first, avoid being disturbed by short-term fluctuations and noise, so that you have a chance to seize the real opportunity window.

You're right, the problem lies in being too impulsive; operating every day just doesn't last long.
This kind of story unfolds every day: 500,000 one day, bankrupt the next; it's a common occurrence in the crypto world.
Honestly, making money is easy, but keeping it is hard; most people fall due to greed.

Honestly, hearing 5,000 to 1,000,000 sounds outrageous, but I believe in the part about zeroing out; I've seen too many cases. The key is still greed—wanting to double your money after making a little profit, and then a single pullback wipes everyone out.

Waiting for this thing is really difficult. It’s easy to say, but who can resist the urge to operate every day?
---
I used to suffer losses from this tactic of withdrawing principal, and now I understand. Doing it this way every time really makes the mindset much more relaxed.

Take profit is the hardest, no doubt. Once you make money, you want to make another move. Greed is something you simply can't shake.

Instead of stressing over market reversals, it's better to first think clearly about your exit points to avoid regrets later.
