A friend recently asked me, saying he didn't see the wrong direction but still got liquidated. I told him four words—no position rolling.
Losses in the crypto world are never about luck; fundamentally, it's about chaotic operation strategies. Getting anxious to sell after a small rise, rushing to buy after a slight dip, adding positions during rebounds—after a series of actions, losses pile up faster than anyone else.
Those who can truly survive in the crypto market rely on a core logic—no all-in, no gambling, just adhering to one principle: protect the principal, let profits grow freely, and act decisively at key points.
I'll break down a super practical position rolling method, simple and straightforward:
**Step 1: Small-scale probing**. Suppose you have 10,000 USDT in your account and are bearish on the market. Don't rush to full position; start with 5% of your capital to test the waters, choose moderate leverage, and set a fixed stop-loss. If there's no confirmed signal, just observe—less loss is equivalent to profit.
**Step 2: Profit rolling increase**. When there's floating profit from the test trade, act immediately. Take half of the 50% profit to add to your position; if the price breaks down further, continue to deepen your position using the remaining profit. The entire process uses earned money to fight, keeping the principal safe and secure. Even if the market reverses later, it's just profit being given back, and the principal remains untouched.
**Step 3: Lock-in bottom position for hedging**. When floating profit exceeds the size of the principal, immediately set up a hedge to lock the bottom position. When the market approaches the end, place a light position to catch the final acceleration phase.
Follow this routine, and you'll find that trending markets don't require precise predictions—just follow the trend closely.
Many people spend all day entangled in indicators, models, and information, exhausting themselves. But what ultimately determines profit or loss is often those 3 minutes of decision-making at critical moments, free from emotional constraints.
As long as you're still randomly adding positions, randomly setting stops, and operating chaotically, you'll never keep up with the market rhythm. Position rolling strategies are not shortcuts to get rich overnight but a system to help you survive long-term in the crypto space. It's easy to see the right direction; the hard part is sticking to profits until the end.

Honestly, predicting the right direction isn't really the hardest part; the most difficult aspects are mindset and execution. I used to be the same—making a small profit and wanting to cash out, only to watch the market continue to move, which was really frustrating. Mastering position rolling definitely takes time and practice; it's not something you can fully grasp in just one or two attempts.

That's right, many people die because of their emotions. Even if the direction is correct, it still needs to explode.

In plain terms, it's no use just choosing the right direction; you have to know how to survive and come out alive.

Sounds good, but basically it's a mindset issue.

That's right, most people have a mindset issue—they make a little profit and run, lose a little and hold on stubbornly.
