#以太坊大户持仓变化 I saw a fan who played the most extreme: using 30,000 yuan as principal, he turned it into 410,000 in three months. And what happened? The day before, he still had a floating profit of 400,000 yuan but didn’t dare to take it out. Greed is like poison—adding a position, and it’s gone all at once, back to the starting point.
The biggest lesson this gave me is: rolling positions is not a high-level strategy at all; it’s just built on blood, sweat, and lessons learned from losses.
Why do beginners often get cut? Simply put, it’s four words—hands are never idle. When the market isn’t moving, they open trades every day, exhausting their bullets. When a real opportunity window opens, they can only watch helplessly. It’s very ironic but very true.
The most critical point of rolling positions isn’t the “roll” itself, but the “wait.” Wait for the wind to rise, then wait for it to blow even harder, and finally wait for the wind to stop before taking profits. This rhythm is the easiest to break.
The most basic operation is: make a little profit and then aggressively add to the position. When a pullback comes, all profits and principal are trapped. It looks like playing with leverage, but actually it’s just throwing a tantrum.
The truly feasible rhythm follows these three steps:
Step one: once the first order is profitable, immediately withdraw the initial principal, leaving only the profit in the account. The advantage of this is that your mindset stabilizes instantly, and all subsequent operations are done with the earned money, eliminating psychological burden.
Step two: each time the account doubles, only add up to 20% of new positions. Let profits keep rolling into profits, and always protect the seed capital. This is a principle understood by those who live the longest.
Step three: once you see signs of a top forming, act faster than others. Sometimes, just a one-second hesitation can cause the entire position to turn sour.
The cruel reality is: many people aren’t failing to make money; they simply can’t hold onto their funds.
Set three bottom lines that you must not touch:
When floating profit reaches 50%, immediately raise the stop-loss to the cost price; when the account doubles, at least withdraw 30% of the profit to a cold wallet; whenever you see increased volume but stagnant prices, or daily K-lines breaking below the 5-day or 10-day moving average, or leading coins starting to dive, no matter the reason, it’s best to run first.
The highest level of operation in the crypto world is often—doing nothing. Whenever a rare market opportunity that only comes once every ten years appears, hesitating at this moment could lead to lifelong regret.
If you’re still struggling with position sizing or sleeping poorly at night holding your phone, it’s actually a problem with your trading rhythm. There are many market opportunities, but the premise is to stay alive to see the next one.

410,000 all-in and lost everything in one go, this is the crypto world, making money is easy but holding onto it is hard.
Greed is truly a terminal illness; itching to trade is more deadly than losing money.
Exactly right, the most cowardly thing is to have bullets but insist on chasing high.
I've also tried adding to positions after only earning a little, and the conclusion is playing with fire leads to self-immolation.
The key is attitude; if you can't sleep well, it means you're betting too heavily.
I learned the trick of withdrawing 30% to a cold wallet; I feel this is the real secret to longevity.
So true, nine out of ten people actually don't lack the ability to make money, but can't hold onto it.
This last sentence really hits home; indeed, living to see the next opportunity is the most important.

30,000 to 410,000 and then back to the starting point, this wave of mentality breakdown is absolutely intense... Greed really can ruin the whole game
---
Honestly, the phrase "not staying idle" hits hard. Bullets are fired prematurely, and when the real opportunity comes, you can only watch the show
---
The worst thing is to add to your position after making a profit; when a pullback happens, everything is gone. It's completely a temper tantrum, not trading
---
Raising the principal to the cost price is a brilliant move; it instantly stabilizes the mentality. From then on, I only play with the money I won, half the pressure
---
Wait, wait, is this the core? Most people indeed don't lack the ability to make money, but they can't hold on to that little bit of cash in their hands
---
I agree with raising the stop-loss to the cost price; at least it can protect the principal. Don't ask why, I'm just learning
---
Seeing the leader plunge and not running away, you really should reflect on whether you're trading or just throwing a tantrum
---
The highest level is to do nothing? For surgical knife-type traders, this might be the most difficult lesson
---
The group of people who can't sleep at night while holding their phones—it's because they haven't found the rhythm. At this stage, they should rest, not trade

410,000 and a single all-in wipeout, this is why I now lie flat and do nothing
---
I can't stand being idle, it's too painful. I'm the kind of loser who doesn't make any moves when the market isn't here
---
Wait, wait, it's easy to say but hard to do. When the top really hits, who can decisively cut losses?
---
The theory of protecting principal is correct, but greed kicks in and it's all useless
---
The most awesome move in the crypto world is doing nothing. I need to get a tattoo of this phrase
---
The days of sleeping poorly with your phone in your arms at night should end. The rhythm has indeed been disrupted
---
Raising the stop-loss line to 50%—this detail is perfectly handled. I need to try it

Really, the most deadly thing is being idle; I’ve seen many people die from greed.
---
At the moment when 410,000 returns to zero, how despairing it must be. Still, you have to learn to wait.
---
I need to stick these three bottom lines on my phone case, or I’ll have to pay again.
---
The highest level move in the crypto world is to do nothing. This sentence really hits home.
---
Being soft-handed might lead to regrets, but losing everything in a full gamble is also quite regretful.
---
How are the fans doing? Are they still trading now?
---
I’m just a rookie who opens orders every day and burns through bullets. After reading this article, I finally understand what true position rolling is.
