#加密生态动态追踪 From 5,000 to over one million—seemingly a fairy tale of trading myths



The cryptocurrency world indeed plays out crazy stories every day. Someone started with 5,000 yuan and, in half a year, grew their account to over 1 million. Even more heartbreaking, some made 500,000 yuan the day before, only to have their funds wiped out the next day after a market pullback. This isn't a joke; these things are happening in real life.

Why such a huge gap? Many blame technical analysis, coin selection, or market luck. But the real reason is simple: they don't know how to manage their positions or when to stop.

I've stepped on many pits along this path and gradually figured out a little trick—rolling positions isn't about trading every day to be skilled, but about only taking action during the most explosive and most certain market movements.

Most people lose money on futures contracts because of these three points: entering the market when the trend is flat, only to get cut during minor fluctuations; taking small profits and increasing leverage until it explodes; and stubbornly holding through a retracement without stop-loss or reducing positions.

And those who truly master position rolling are usually very disciplined.

The logic I've come up with isn't complicated; it goes against human nature:

**Take profits on the first trade immediately and withdraw the principal**

After the first profitable trade, the first thing to do is withdraw all the original principal. The rest of the capital uses the profits to continue trading. What's the benefit? Even if there's a retracement or loss later, the loss is just the opportunity cost of the market, not real money. This naturally improves your mindset.

**The deeper the profit, the tighter the stop-loss**

When a position's profit reaches 50%, immediately raise your stop-loss to your cost price. As profits grow, lock in at least 30% of the gains as a safety buffer. The core logic isn't about chasing account multiples quickly but about ensuring you never return to the starting point.

**Trade only when the market is in position**

Rolling positions isn't about how many trades you've made in a year but about how big you can go during a true bull market. Wait until the trend is established and volatility is obvious before making decisive moves. If you haven't reached that point, stay on the sidelines. Making bad trades just drags down overall profits.

Ultimately, the real difference in the crypto space isn't who has sharper vision or who spots a dark horse earlier. It's who can truly protect the money they've earned.

Many people aren't lacking the ability to make money; the problem is they can't hold on after earning it. That's why tragedies happen like “a millionaire yesterday, back to square one today.”

Remember this: learn to wait, learn to take profits when the time is right, and learn to stop when necessary. Only then do you have the qualification to talk about truly doubling your wealth.

It all sounds right, but in reality, 99% of people still make random moves after reading this because greed is a disease with no cure.

You're absolutely right, holding your position is a thousand times harder than bottom-fishing.
