Don't remind me again today

Many people start with tens of thousands in capital, always thinking about how to grow it to 1 million. I have seen too many people fail not because of market judgment, but because they died in position management.



The truth is stated upfront: the day you touch a principal of 1 million, your trading world will change completely. A 20% increase in spot price can yield 200,000, which is already a ceiling salary for many wage earners. More importantly—those who can climb from tens of thousands to millions have long engraved the ways of making money into their bones; the rest is just mechanical replication.

Don't just casually say "the goal is one billion"; first, take a look at how much ammunition you have in your pocket. The essence of trading is identifying opportunities: usually trade with small positions to refine your skills, and when a real big opportunity comes, that's when you should reveal your heavy position strategy.

The play of rolling positions can help an ordinary person succeed three or four times in a lifetime and step into the wealthy class — but the premise is that you must understand how to play.

Three dead rules must be followed:

First, patience. Because the profit margin is large enough, you cannot rush it; instead, wait for those opportunities that are fully certain.

Second, recognize the pattern. After a sharp drop, it consolidates sideways, then breaks upward—this type of trend has the highest probability of success for entering the market, avoid making random moves at other times.

Third, only go long. Put the short strategy aside for now to reduce risk exposure.

Some people say that the rolling position risk is frightening? That’s because they haven't found the right approach.

Take a practical example: Suppose you have 50,000, and note that this 50,000 must be profit earned previously (don't touch it if you are still losing money). When Bitcoin is at 10,000 USD, open a 10x leverage, but only open a 10% Position using the isolated margin mode—this means using 5,000 as margin, which is equivalent to a 1x leverage effect. Set the stop loss at 2 points...

(The core of this logic is: to leverage small funds to seize big opportunities, rather than blindly gambling.)

To be honest, position management is really the easiest thing to overlook... I've seen several people around me blow up because of going all in. I think the most heart-wrenching sentence is "First, see how much ammunition you have in your pocket", too many people have high expectations but low abilities. The saying that rolling over three or four times can enter the wealthy class is a bit intense, the prerequisites must be met. Stick to the core of recognizing patterns; not every big dump is worth catching, you have to wait for those with particularly high certainty. I can understand the conservative strategy of only going long and not touching short positions, the risk is indeed much smaller.

You're absolutely right, position management is truly a world of difference. I used to not adhere to these three rules, and my account got wiped out... Now I see someone finally laid out the truth. Rollover really only comes a few times, you have to seize those opportunities. Talking about it on paper is always the easiest; when the real market comes, you'll know your worth. It sounds simple, but the mindset during actual operation is the hardest part, I admit. Making 1 million is truly a watershed moment; the previous anxiety just disappeared. People always overestimate how much they can earn in a month and underestimate how long it takes to reach the goal of 1 million... The sideways period is the most torturous; most people die waiting during this stage. It's wonderful; finally, I see someone explaining the logic of how to play with small funds.

You're right, position management is the real killer. I've seen too many people go all in and end up feeding the fish. Wait, you really need to have profits first to rollover, that's very crucial. Compared to the goal of 100 million, let's ensure we keep 50,000 first, haha. The part about honing skills hit the mark, most people can't wait for that certainty. Playing this way indeed reduces the risk a lot, a clever 10% position per order.

You are absolutely right, position management is truly the biggest pitfall. I've seen too many people perish because of it. My tens of thousands are still in the technical stage, and the real test will come when the big opportunity arrives.

It’s too heart-wrenching to say, position management really traps a large number of people. I have seen bloody lessons around me. Every day dreaming of one hundred million, but not even figuring out how to allocate a principal of 50,000, isn’t this just waiting to die? Is rolling over successfully three or four times enough? It sounds good, but we have to see if the ammunition in hand can last until that day. Wait, the BTC example you mentioned... why do most people still lose everything with such a stable operation of 10% per position? Isn’t it that they fundamentally don’t understand this logic?
