There is a real case worth noting: In 2020, an account was left with only $900 for living expenses. Through a rolling position strategy, it grew to $100,000 in three months, and within a year, the initial capital was accumulated to $1 million. Recently, I also mentored a trader with a principal of $1,000 USD who turned things around in this market rally.
The entire methodology is based on three pillars: 100x leverage + profit reinvestment + sticking to a single direction.
How exactly to operate? Start with $300 to test the waters, opening only $10 positions with 100x leverage each time. When earning 1%, double the position; take out half of the profits first, and continue rolling the remaining half. Using ETH as an example, just by correctly predicting the direction 11 times in a row, $10 could theoretically turn into $10,000 — sounds crazy, but math doesn’t lie.
Where are the problems? 90% of people fall into these traps: reluctant to take profits after gains, always wanting to earn more; unwilling to admit defeat after losses, instead adding more to hold on; frequently changing directions, getting beaten by market swings.
The iron rule for survival is simple: cut losses immediately when wrong; after 20 consecutive mistakes, step out and cool down; once earning $5,000, withdraw to lock in profits, never chase after the market. Last year’s big rally turned $500 into $500,000 in three days, but it took four months of doing nothing, just waiting.
Rolling positions are not an everyday activity but a one-time full effort when opportunities arise. Many now ask if it’s still possible. First, ask yourself: Is the market volatility enough? Is the main trend clear and one-sided? Can you only eat the middle part of the fish, avoiding greed for the head or tail? Only if all three answers are "yes" should you proceed. Any hesitation indicates the market hasn't given you enough lessons yet.
Ultimately, rolling positions is about betting on your mindset and discipline. Without these two, it’s safer to just hold coins honestly. As market volatility intensifies, the importance of strategy selection becomes even more apparent — do you want to be wiped out at the end, or do you want to double your wealth? Choice always outweighs luck.

alright so the math checks out on paper but like... 90% failure rate means we're basically looking at a negative expected value scenario if you factor in liquidation fees and slippage, ngl
the whole "discipline" narrative hits different when you're down 15 candles in a row and your brain's screaming at you to add more collateral

It sounds like a game of probability, and most people simply can't endure through those 11 correct attempts.

Mathematics is correct, but humanity is dead—that's the real problem.

Sounds good, but in reality, 99% of people simply can't stick to discipline.
