Want to make your first million in the crypto world? Don’t dream of tens of millions right away; you need to first clear the hurdle of 1 million—once you have that amount, even just holding spot assets to achieve a 20% annualized return can surpass an ordinary person’s entire yearly salary.

Over the years surviving in this circle, I’ve learned that it’s not about earning small amounts daily, but about breaking down compound interest into several powerful strikes, achieved through rolling positions. Usually, I test the waters with small positions; when a real opportunity comes, I bring out the heavy artillery—and I only do long positions with rolling, never rolling into short positions, no matter what.

So, the question is: what does such an opportunity look like?

First type: After a big drop, the market consolidates sideways for a long time, then suddenly breaks out with volume, and the trend truly reverses.

Second type: The daily chart crosses important moving averages, with trading volume also increasing, clearly indicating market sentiment is warming.

Third type: When hot topics have no news, and retail investors are still complaining, the main players are actually quietly building positions.

How to operate specifically? Let’s take 50,000 yuan as an example:

This 50,000 must be profit previously earned; first, stop losses and restore the account’s vitality, then start the rolling position plan.

Use an isolated margin mode, with a single position not exceeding 10% of the total account, leverage not exceeding 10x, so the actual leverage is only 1x. Set the stop-loss at a strict 2% for maximum safety.

After price breaks out, add to the position for the first time; wait until it rises 10% before acting, take out 10% of the newly earned profit to open a new position, and keep the stop-loss at 2%.

Never go all-in, never hold on stubbornly, never keep adding positions endlessly. Once the stop-loss is triggered, exit immediately, keep some bullets for the next opportunity.

If you catch a 50% main upward wave, rolling with compound interest can reach 200,000. Catch two such waves, and 1 million is in your hands. Simply put, as long as you roll 3 to 4 times in your life—from 50,000 to 1 million, then to 10 million—you can retire comfortably.

Risk control is the most feared thing—remember these hard rules:

1️⃣ Don’t roll during sideways consolidation, don’t roll during slow declines, and don’t roll based on news-driven coins.

2️⃣ In isolated margin mode, even if liquidation occurs, only the margin is lost; other funds are automatically frozen, and the principal won’t be cut.

3️⃣ During rolling, remember to withdraw 30% of the profit each time—use it to buy a house or a car. Don’t let greed turn against you.

Ultimately, rolling isn’t about gambling; it’s about waiting. When the opportunity comes, roll; when it doesn’t, stay put. Better to miss out than to mess around recklessly.

Once you truly roll out your first 1 million, you’ll naturally understand how to manage positions, control emotions, and read cycles. The rest becomes just copy-pasting.

This market is always like this—opportunities only favor those who are prepared.
