Is liquidation due to a contract? Often, it's not because of a wrong direction, but because the position and rhythm are completely messed up.



Many people don't understand what true rolling of positions means. Their understanding is like this: when bearish, they add to their position, deepening their principal, and eventually the last wave of the market causes a liquidation. This kind of approach is basically gambling with the principal.

Expert traders' rolling strategy is completely opposite—using profits to bear the risk, while the principal remains untouched. It sounds simple, but few can execute it properly.

**How to operate specifically?**

Step 1: Test the opening position. Start with 500U, leverage of 3 to 5 times, and set strict stop-losses. The goal is to verify the direction; if wrong, keep losses within the cost of trial and error. At this point, don’t be greedy.

Step 2: The key is—when the position profits reach 50%, this is not the time to exit completely, but to use this floating profit to add to the position. For example, with 500U, if you earn 250U, use that 250U to continue betting, maintaining the same leverage. The core logic is: let the profits take on the risk, while the principal stays safely in the account.

Step 3: When total profits approach the size of the principal, you must know how to protect it. Take profits from this portion, hedge where necessary, and let the remaining profits follow the trend to continue running, dynamically adjusting take-profit levels. The final result is that the principal remains intact, and profits grow through compound interest.

**Why do most people still get liquidated?**

Wrong direction is actually not the main reason. The real killers are chaos in position management and rhythm. Blindly holding positions, frequently adding to positions, emotionally increasing leverage—these behaviors all drain the principal and bring the account closer to liquidation.

The essence of rolling positions is to amplify the gains, not to gamble with the principal. The difference between these two is huge.

**Some iron rules that must not be broken:**

Never add to high-risk positions with the principal. Add to winning positions only after the market is fully confirmed; don’t rush. When profits reach a certain level, lock in some or hedge part of it. Stop-losses must be executed decisively; don’t hold through losses.

Currently, with such high market volatility, this rolling strategy actually has the greatest advantage. Strictly following this logic, the account curve can steadily rise, and the cycle of liquidation can be completely broken.

Dream less, discipline more. Use profits to run, let the principal rest. The market will come again; missing this one, there’s always the next. But to catch the rhythm precisely without losing your way halfway, you need this methodology.

That's so right. The guy in my account has the same problem—adding to positions until bankruptcy, and now he's regretting it every day. Using profits to take risks with the principal—I've understood this logic long ago, but execution is the hard part. Yes, I've tried this rolling position strategy; it's definitely more reliable than blindly holding positions. Now the account is steadily increasing. Many people get wiped out because of emotional leverage. I've seen too many cases. People who can't execute stop-losses simply don't deserve to trade contracts. That's the cost of blood. It's very insightful. Most of those who get liquidated are killed by their own greed. The core of this strategy is two words: discipline. Without discipline, even the best methods are useless.

In simple terms, it's a mindset issue; most people simply can't follow through. --- This theory is fine, but the key is that most people want to lock in all their gains once they see a profit, haha. --- I agree that the principal should never be moved, but the problem is, the market doesn't always go as you expect. --- Rolling positions sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to execute; a single retracement can throw everything into chaos. --- Discipline is the most important; I've seen so many people get wiped out because of emotional re-entries. --- The suggestion of probing with 500U is good, but with such fierce volatility in the crypto market now, stop-losses are often hit and wiped out. --- The core message is one sentence: don't gamble with your principal, let profits run. Many people understand this but can't do it. --- I feel this method is more suitable for people with spare money; if you don't have enough principal, you can't keep up with this pace. --- A friend of mine used to frequently add to his positions and eventually blew up; now I understand why. --- There's nothing wrong with dynamically adjusting take profits; too many people become greedy after making some profit and chase the highest point, only to eat back their gains.

The theory of making money while lying on the principal sounds great, but few can really endure the mental challenge, most are knocked out by volatility. That's right, the rhythm is chaotic and deadly. I used to be the fool frequently adding to my position, and in the end, I lost everything in one go. Rolling positions sounds simple, but executing it is a torment, especially the stage of adding to floating profits, always wanting to earn a bit more. The iron law is harsh, but the key is whether you can truly be decisive in cutting losses, which is the hardest part. I agree that the principal should never be moved, but timing the addition on floating profits is really difficult, always afraid that one more addition will go against you. Compared to direction, position management is indeed the real culprit of liquidation, I have deep experience with this. If this logic could really be executed properly, I would have been earning tens of thousands a month long ago, but why are most still losing money? The phrase "run with profits" hits hard, showing how outrageous my previous strategies were. Things that seem simple are the hardest to stick with, especially in the face of market temptations. The most ruthless stop-loss is that one cut, how many people die because they can't bear to give up that one point.
