Crypto enthusiasts are all dreaming. This year’s hundredfold coins, wealth freedom next year, retirement and old age the year after... We've had plenty of dreams, but what about account returns? Most likely still hovering around six figures.



Honestly, those slogans about earning tens of thousands a month or millions a year seem particularly pale in front of real money. Instead of daydreaming every day, it’s better to ask yourself a tough question: Has your account ever crossed the 1 million mark?

This 1 million is not just a random number. It’s a watershed.

For ordinary retail investors, there’s only one viable way to grow from the starting capital to 1 million—rollover trading. It’s not optional; it’s a necessary path. It’s the only way to change the game and the market dynamics.

What is rollover trading? Simply put, it’s about seizing a few key turning points in the market, rolling the profits into the next cycle, and allowing the principal to grow geometrically. This process sounds easy, but in practice, 90% of people collapse at some stage.

Where do they collapse? They collapse in mindset. When the account is small, greed takes over, thinking higher leverage means faster gains; when the account is large, they become timid, nervous at the slightest fluctuation and cut positions. The result is frequent mistakes, ultimately giving back the profits.

What do successful rollover traders experience? After breaking through 1 million, you’ll find the whole world has changed.

No longer relying on extreme leverage to fight for every inch, small fluctuations in spot trading are enough to generate substantial returns. From earning a few thousand a month to tens of thousands, this experience will completely change your perception of risk.

Trading becomes simpler. No matter how K-line charts plunge, your mindset remains unshaken because the underlying logic has been internalized. You’re no longer watching short-term ups and downs but focusing on cycle patterns. From then on, it’s not about who trades more frequently, but who makes fewer mistakes and who can calmly let compound interest work its magic.

So how to do it specifically? The key lies in three points.

First, be patient. Most of the time, you should be observing from outside the market, not staring at the screen and constantly trading. Use small positions to test, learn, and refine your feel, but when a big opportunity appears, you only get a few chances in a lifetime. When it arrives, you need enough discipline to recognize it and enough bullets to strike.

Second, only bet on the highest probability starting points. Not every trend is worth participating in. Choose the clearest, most probable directions, ignoring other noise. This stage requires focus, not diversification.

Third, once the signal is confirmed, act quickly, decisively, and ruthlessly. Hesitation in trading is equivalent to quitting.

Crypto is never a casino; it’s a hunting ground in the dark night. Most of the time, you’re lurking, and the real move happens in an instant. Your job isn’t to be busy but to wait and identify.

Think about it: if you had successfully bottomed out during several major market moves in the past five years— even starting with only 50,000—your current account balance could be enough to change your life. That’s the power of rollover trading.

So stop talking empty. Starting today, set a realistic goal: the first 1 million. Not a fantasy, not a slogan, but a concrete number, a clear plan of action, and daily accumulation.

Once you break through this number, the subsequent millions and billions will become a natural progression.

That's a good point, but brother, your theory would have been toxic chicken soup last year. Listening to "roll out" sounds satisfying, but in reality, most people are the ones who bought at high prices and got squeezed out, ending up with smaller and smaller accounts.

That was quite a punch to the gut, but I think the 90% crash segment still needs an additional 10%... Mindset really is something else.

Wake up, stop dreaming. 90% of people get wiped out in the mental game of trading. Honestly, it's just greed and fear causing constant switching, and in the end, they end up with nothing. The 1 million hurdle—sounds good, but I think most people can't even reach 300,000.

Wake up, that 90% of people are us. Talking tough is one thing, but when it comes to actually liquidating positions, the mentality completely collapses. Small profits make you want to go all in, big losses scare you into cutting positions... and the cycle repeats. 1 million is indeed a watershed, but the premise is not to lose your mind. This thing is harder than anything else.
