I hate those tragic stories of "buying the dip more and more." When liquidation happens, they still pretend it's fate playing tricks, but in reality, they've just chopped down the money tree of their principal, turning it into a coffin.
I have only one ironclad rule for rolling positions: the principal is the emperor, and profits are consumables.
Let's see how I operate with my real account. Starting with 8000U, I am bearish on BTC, progressing in three steps:
**Step 1: Tentative Opening** Use 400U to open a 3x short position, with a stop loss set at 2%. Lost? Just treat it as the main force inviting you for a milk tea, no big deal. This money is originally for exploring, don’t expect it to make a big splash.
**Step 2: Continue betting with the earned money** When floating profits rise to 50%, take out that 200U profit and open a new position. Note — the 8000U principal stays tucked in the wallet from start to finish. Even if I’m greedy, I have a bottom line.
**Step 3: Take some profits when things look good** When floating profits surge to 3000U, immediately withdraw half and convert it to USDC, building a firewall for the account. The remaining funds continue to operate; keep winning and locking in profits, so the snowball will roll bigger and bigger.
After a three-month cycle, the 8000U principal remains untouched, but profits have skyrocketed to over 50,000. The account curve looks like it’s been hacked.
Compare that to those who go all-in—if their market prediction is right, they still get liquidated—because their rhythm is as chaotic as a square dance team, and a market turn can cut their flesh and blood in an instant.
The logic here is actually very simple: rolling positions does not mean adding to positions; it means adding "money earned from wins." Liquidation is never about how fierce the market is; it’s about you forcing the emperor to the front lines to die. Keep the principal alive, let profits withstand the market’s beating, and you’ll naturally live several heads above those who get chopped like leeks.
Those who can not only survive but also profit in the market are always the ones brave enough to reach out first. Ready to give it a try?

Honestly, I only understood this logic after losing a few times... The principal must always be kept intact.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but on-chain data shows that big players have been doing this for a long time, while retail investors are still struggling with all-in bets...
