Woken up by a message in the early morning, a fan asked: "In the same market trend, why is the difference so big?" One is stuck with their principal and holding on tightly, while the other is rolling profits into new gains—this is how the profit gap widens instantly.



With 8 years of trading experience, having fallen into the liquidation pit 3 times, from losing 200,000 yuan to achieving stable profits, the core logic I finally learned is: preserving the principal is the top priority, using profits to fight.

This "Rolling Profit Method" includes 6 key steps:

**Step 1: The principal is always the bottom line**
Start with only 5% of your capital for trial trades, with a stop loss set at 0.8%. No clear signals? Stay out of the market and wait. Even if you make 10 wrong calls in a row, you only lose 8% of your principal—that's how winners survive.

**Step 2: Take 50% of profits immediately**
Once profits are realized, lock in half, and use the other half as a fighting force. This way, when adding positions, only profits are used, and during retracements, the principal remains untouched.

**Step 3: Be conservative when floating profits exceed the principal**
At this point, activate hedging mode: every 10% profit earned, hedge the position, and expand the stop loss range to 50%. If the market pulls back, you can withstand it, and the profits in hand may even increase further.

**Step 4: Use 3 minutes to judge life or death**
Breakout with volume? Add to your position with full force. Break support with decreasing volume? Close all positions immediately. Don’t give yourself a chance to regret—decisiveness is key.

**Step 5: Lock in half when a retracement occurs**
If the market pulls back 15%, lock in half of the profits. This way, the gains keep running, and greed is thoroughly suppressed.

**Step 6: Withdraw profits daily**
Keep only the initial principal and 10% of the floating funds in your account; withdraw all other profits. This prevents over-leverage and also protects your mindset.

Opportunities in the crypto market are never lacking; discipline is what’s missing. Use profits to take risks, use the principal to sleep peacefully—you can only truly end each trading day with a smile.
