#数字资产动态追踪 Position determines direction, logic determines operation, risk determines position sizing.
Contract liquidation is really not a matter of luck—if the strategy is wrong, no amount of capital will help. Most people misunderstand rolling positions.
**The common approach to rolling positions for ordinary traders** Buy the dip more and more, the capital gets deeper and deeper, and finally go all-in, zeroing out the account. That’s not rolling; that’s gambler-style reckless betting.
**How true rolling should be played** Use profits to expand gains, while the principal remains safely in the account. Add to positions with floating profits, letting profits run themselves—this is the core logic of rolling.
**Three-step practical framework**
**Step 1: Exploration phase** - Initial position: 400U, with 3-5x leverage - Set strict stop-loss to test the direction - This is a process of learning market rhythm through spending, controlling the cost of mistakes is most important
**Step 2: Profit rolling** When the position’s profit reaches 50%, continue adding with floating profits. For example, if 400U earns 200U, use that 200U floating profit to add to the position, maintaining the same leverage.
Key point: the risk bearer becomes the profit, the principal remains intact. The account risk is alleviated and even grows.
**Step 3: Protection and continuation** When total profit approaches the size of the principal, it’s time to lock in some gains. You can choose to partially exit or hedge risks, while the remaining profits follow the trend. Adjust take-profit levels dynamically based on market rhythm—don’t be dogmatic.
Final result: the principal is not at much risk, but profits grow through compound interest. This is the secret to a steadily rising account curve.
**Why most people are still stuck in the liquidation cycle**
Wrong direction judgment isn’t the main reason; the real killer is chaotic position management. Blindly holding positions, frequently adding, emotional leverage—each of these behaviors erodes the principal.
Many interpret “adding to positions” as “betting more,” which is completely wrong. Adding should be a continuation when winning, not a turnaround when losing.
**Four disciplined execution rules**
1. The principal must never enter risky positions—absolutely no exceptions 2. Add to floating profits only after market confirmation; impatience is the enemy 3. Lock in or hedge profits once they reach a certain level; don’t be greedy 4. Stop-loss orders must be executed absolutely; don’t rely on rebounds
**This environment is more suitable for this logic**
Market volatility is increasing, which is precisely when a prudent strategy shows its advantages. Strictly follow this framework, and your account curve can break the curse of liquidation, step by step moving upward.
Stop daydreaming and stick to discipline. Let profits run, let the principal sleep. Markets are always there, opportunities wait for no one.

It's still about mindset; most people simply can't follow through.

Principal sleeps, profits run errands—that's the right way.

You're not wrong; letting the principal sleep while profits run errands is the right way.

That's right, but I'm just worried that people who know about it still can't do it.

Exactly right, but it's really hard to stick with it.

That's right, the phrase "principal sleeps, profits run" must be engraved in my mind.
