#密码资产动态追踪 Having traded futures for eight years, the most annoying thing to hear is: "Liquidation is just bad luck."



Honestly, I'm tired of this excuse. Liquidation in futures trading is never about luck — it all boils down to one point: you don’t roll over positions.

Too many people die here, and their routines are all the same: when the market just starts moving, they rush to take profits, only to be shaken out by the subsequent move; if the direction is correct, they panic and collapse after a 5% correction; as soon as it drops, they add to their position, getting heavier and heavier, until a single violent candle wipes everything out. This isn’t trading; it’s gambling with dice.

Real veteran traders think completely differently. They’re not aiming for a quick fortune; their only obsession is: the principal must stay alive.

I’ve seen too many people turn rollover trading into "floating gains add positions → go all-in," which is not rollover trading at all — it’s just giving money to the exchange.

My own rollover logic isn’t that complicated: very small positions for trial, follow key levels, and only use the profits earned to take risks.

For example, if you have 10,000 USDT and are confident in a certain structure, you definitely won’t go all-in from the start. Use the smallest position to test the waters, set tight stop-losses, and withdraw immediately if something feels off. Once the direction is confirmed, don’t add with your principal — only follow up with the profits already earned. The more confident you are in the trend, the deeper you participate; if the market suddenly shows signs of change, stop immediately.

When the market really starts moving, floating gains can quickly surpass the principal. At that point, experienced traders will first "buy insurance," rather than continue risking everything naked.

In the same market move, some double their money while others get liquidated. The difference isn’t about reading the charts perfectly but about how the positions are managed. Futures markets never reward boldness alone — they reward those who understand the rules.

You need to figure out when to be cautious, when to add, when to enter, and when to stop — that’s when you’ve truly grasped the art of rollover trading.

My signals for "being able to rollover" never come at the hottest candle positions. When you really reach that point, you’ll naturally understand.
