Someone asked me, what is the biggest change when your account surpasses 1 million?



It's not mindset. It's that the underlying logic of making money has completely changed.

You'll find that life splits into two worlds — the anxiety of ordinary people is on this side, and your rhythm is on the other. No need for high-leverage contracts to stimulate your heartbeat; holding spot positions steadily and catching a 20% move means 200,000 in profit, directly topping someone else's year or two of salary.

Only then do you realize what a bull market really is. It's not about fighting desperately; it's about turning others' time into your gains. Money isn't made through a single big gamble; it's made by repeatedly catching the right rhythm and gradually growing.

In simple terms, it's about one question: when is it worth betting big?

When a small trend appears, use a small position to test the waters and get a feel for the market's temperament. When a big trend truly arrives, then increase your position — this is called "rolling positions." It sounds simple, but few can execute it well.

As long as you get it right three or four times in your life, you can step from being an ordinary person into the circle of the wealthy. You don't need some mythical luck. The key is — not every market move is worth adding to your position.

I only consider three situations before making a move.

First, after a long sideways consolidation, the market is about to choose a direction but hasn't broken out yet; second, during a bull market, there's a sudden sharp decline, creating a golden pit, with poor sentiment but technical support; third, a key weekly level is broken, confirming a trend reversal signal.

Apart from these three, I prefer to stay in cash and watch the show rather than foolishly throwing money into the market.

How do I roll positions? I only use the simplest but most reliable method.

Only add when I make a profit, so the cost keeps decreasing. Holding a core position without movement is a matter of faith; flexible trading with the secondary position is mainly to reduce costs and lock in profits. I only look for two signals to add: the trend breaks out, or the price pulls back to a key moving average.

Discipline is strict: once the 5-day or 20-day moving average is broken, I leave decisively; if I haven't moved in three days, I withdraw; if losses exceed 5%, I cut immediately; I only trade leading coins, and I go all-in when rising, and hold firm when falling.

Honestly, trading is never about how aggressive you are, but how long you can survive.

Once the system is set up and the rhythm is controlled, money won't hit your face all at once, but it will gradually flow into your pocket. The logic behind this wave of XRP and BTC is right here — some people understand it, some are still chasing highs. The difference is right here.
XRP-2,6%
BTC-0,78%

Wow, this logic is indeed brilliant, but I still think most people die at the mental hurdle.

It’s definitely reasonable, but how many people can actually hold on until their account reaches 1 million? Most of them give up during the first wave of correction.

A bull market is about making money through rhythm, not by throwing a tantrum.

The term "rolling position" sounds comfortable, but how many can really endure three or four waves? Most people have already gone all-in during the first wave.

The theory of closing positions has been heard countless times, but only a few can actually execute it. I am one of the majority.

That sounds harsh, almost like showing off wealth, but it really hits the group of people who chase the high prices.

Not everyone can live to 1 million; most die while chasing the highs.
