Trading, to put it simply, is a way for ordinary people to change their financial situation. I previously mentored a friend, Ajie, who turned a $3,000 account into $110,000 in six months. This wasn’t due to luck or gambling mentality, but rather strict adherence to a solid position-rolling strategy.



Many beginners tend to panic when market fluctuations occur—taking profits quickly when they gain, and getting liquidated when they lose. The problem isn’t a lack of skill; ultimately, it’s about not hitting the right rhythm.

I’ve summarized three core points. This method isn’t complicated in theory, but only by truly executing it can you see the difference:

**Point 1: Follow the trend, stay away from consolidation**

Trying to roll positions within a sideways range? That’s asking for trouble. No volume, no clear direction—these are false signals. The real signal to act is when the main funds start to increase volume, the price breaks through key levels, and market sentiment ignites. We positioned ourselves just before BTC was about to break out; after the rally, our holdings doubled, and profits surged quickly.

**Point 2: Add to positions based on floating profits, not impulsive decisions**

For the first order, I only let him invest 5% of his funds. As profits accumulate, gradually increase the position size; once profits exceed 50%, continue to expand the position rhythmically. The key here is: never add to losing positions, only roll over profitable trades. Many people’s mistake is to double down on losses—adding more when they’re down, and rushing to close when they’re up. This prevents the capital from truly compounding! Proper position rolling should be based on existing profits, continuously amplifying advantages, not fighting against losing positions.

**Point 3: Be flexible with take profits, don’t stick to a fixed number**

Use a phased take-profit approach: lock in part of the profits first, then protect the principal, and finally release some positions to let profits grow further. Don’t close all at once—that’s not cautious, it’s a lack of trust in the market. Rolling positions is like dancing on a knife’s edge—one wrong step can cause everything to collapse; hitting the rhythm correctly allows for continuous soaring.

From $3,000 to $110,000, we never went all-in once, nor did we rely on luck. It was all about “following the right direction + controlling the rhythm + strict execution.”

Market opportunities are plentiful, but what’s rare are traders who can truly maintain the right rhythm. The current market still has volatility, making it a perfect window to test the rolling position strategy.

You're right, rhythm is the key. But I have to say, most people simply can't get this rhythm right and end up kneeling to themselves. --- This logic sounds great, but executing it requires a lot of mental preparation. --- Adding to winning positions is indeed ruthless, but the prerequisite is having profits, otherwise everything is pointless. --- Trading in a sideways market really is asking for trouble, but the question is, who the hell can accurately judge when it's a trend and when it's just sideways? --- Rolling up from 3000U to 110,000U looks comfortable, but I want to know how much was lost in between. --- I've tried phased take-profit strategies, but honestly, the mental barrier is hard to overcome, and it's easy to repeat mistakes. --- Rolling positions definitely requires execution, but the mindset behind it is often underestimated. --- The key is to find that moment to "ignite market sentiment," which feels more difficult than any technical indicator. --- Not cutting losses on losing orders hits hard. Many people turn small losses into big ones because of this habit. --- ZKP's current volatility does present opportunities, but I always feel it's the easiest time to get cut.

The consultation records show that this type of "exorbitant profit narrative" patient cases occur periodically... The clinical presentation is very typical—ranging from 3,000U to 110,000U, the numbers are eye-catching, but what about liquidity indicators? Have you tracked symptoms of capital outflow? Strategy complications are most likely to manifest here in the "rhythm theory." To put it simply, have you backtested the slippage costs?

That's right, rhythm is really the key... but I think most people still stumble over their mindset, not strategy. They want to run when they make money, hold on tight when they lose, and keep cycling like that. Everyone wants to turn 3000U into 110,000, but few can stick to the execution—this is the naked reality. I have deep experience with adding positions based on floating profits; not covering losing orders can really save your life. By the way, how did your friend's BTC entry point perform? Are they still holding now? Market volatility like this period actually tests people the most; few can truly stabilize their minds.

That's right, the rhythm is indeed the bottleneck... However, the number from 3,000 to 110,000 still sounds a bit uncertain; I need real verification to believe it. I've also had the problem of closing positions after making a profit, and I definitely don't add to losing trades, I agree with that... But the question is, is it really that simple to execute? The analogy of rolling positions like dancing on a knife's edge is excellent; a moment of distraction and it's gone. Not many traders can stay steady now. This wave of ZKP market looks promising, but I really want to know if your friend is still in the game... Strict execution is the premise, but who can really control market sentiment? I’m using the strategy of adding positions on floating profits, but sometimes I still change my mind easily; mindset is the biggest opponent. A 37-fold increase in half a year is quite impressive... I need to ask about the details, or I might get cut. This theory sounds comfortable, but I guess not many can actually do it in volatile markets. Honestly, I fear false breakouts the most—wasting time and funds. Misjudging the trend once might be unrecoverable; you still need to observe more and learn more.
