The biggest fear in trading is going all-in at once. To be honest, all successful traders understand one principle—principal is the foundation, and profits are the bullets.

The crypto world is full of legendary stories. "BanMuXia" turned 10,000 yuan into 4 million, "FatBiteBitcoin" went from 1 million to 200 million, and "MageTony" started with 50,000 yuan and eventually reached 20 million. It sounds impressive, but there are no secret weapons behind these stories—just one strategy: rolling positions. Also called adding on floating gains, it doesn't sound so intimidating.

Many people get nervous when they hear "rolling positions," thinking it's too risky. But from another perspective, this is a common operation in contract trading, especially for those who prefer small leverage. Having been in the crypto scene for many years, today I want to share my honest thoughts and experiences with everyone.

**What exactly is rolling positions?**

Simply put, it’s this: when the market is good, use the profits to add more positions, letting the money "roll" itself. The key is—protect the principal, and use the earned money to gamble for bigger gains.

For example, you open a position with 5,000 USD, and with good luck, you make a 50% profit, turning your account into 7,500 USD. At this point, you withdraw the 5,000 USD principal, leaving 2,500 USD to continue trading. If this 2,500 USD doubles again, boom—you’ve accumulated another 5,000 USD. The benefit of this approach? The principal never moves; even if you lose, it’s just that 2,500 USD—no big deal. As long as you seize opportunities in two or three major market moves, small funds can easily multiply dozens of times.

But there’s a premise—rolling positions doesn’t mean you operate daily. Successful traders spend 90% of their time waiting. Like snipers, they watch quietly, only taking action during big moves in BTC or ETH.

**In what situations is rolling positions most suitable?**

Based on my experience, there are three market conditions that are especially suitable...

BTC0,55%

ETH0,36%

Rolling positions sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just gambling. No matter how you listen to it, it seems like a packaged all-in bet.

I agree that the principal remains unchanged, but honestly, 90% of the time is spent waiting for this... Haha, who can really stay idle?

The principal never wavers; this is the way to live long. In simple terms, you have to protect your original capital; only then can you dare to gamble. All-in players have become leeks; rolling over positions is the right way. Wait, wait, wait—this strategy sounds simple, but in reality? You still have to hit the right rhythm. Spending 90% of the time waiting—sounds easy, but how many can stick with it?

Spending 90% of the time waiting? Then why am I still losing every day…

I agree that the principal remains unchanged, but to be honest, how many people can truly do it while waiting 90% of the time? Most still can't hold back and end up acting every day.
