Many people entering the crypto space first think about hitting a million, but I want to say—cut the crap.

What’s the reality? You need to first reach that initial 1 million. This amount, compared to an average person's annual salary, with a 20% spot market return, can outperform what others do in a whole year. With this baseline, subsequent steps become much easier.

Having survived in this market for so many years, my experience isn’t about daily mosquito bites, but about rolling positions—dividing compound interest into several explosive waves, and at critical moments, launching the Italian cannon. Usually, I test with small positions, then go all-in when signals appear, only going long, never short.

So, what do these signals look like?

**1. Long-term sideways movement after a sharp decline, followed by a sudden volume breakout upward—that’s a reliable trend reversal.**

**2. Daily candles above key moving averages, with rising volume and price, indicating a clear shift in market sentiment.**

**3. No reaction from public opinion, retail investors still complaining, while the main players have already been building positions in the dark.**

How to operate specifically? I’ll demonstrate with a 50,000 yuan principal.

First, this 50,000 must be profit from previous gains. Stop losses, refill the blood bar, then consider rolling positions. Use a segregated account mode, keep total position below 10%, leverage no more than 10x, which feels like 1x in reality, with a 2% stop loss being the safest.

After the price breaks out, add to your position for the first time. Wait until it rises 10%, then use 10% of the new profit to open a position, maintaining a 2% stop loss at all times. Never go all-in, never add to losing positions, never fight against the trend—when hitting the stop-loss level, shut down decisively, preserve firepower for the next opportunity.

A 50% main upward wave, compounded, can grow to 200,000. Catch two such waves, and you’re at 1 million. Honestly, as long as you roll 3 or 4 times in your life, from 50,000 to 100,000 to 1 million, the path is laid out, and then you can retire.

Remember the iron rule of risk control:

**Don’t roll during choppy markets, don’t roll during downward declines, don’t roll message coins.**

Losing your principal means only your segregated margin is gone; other funds are automatically locked, and even if you get liquidated, you won’t wipe out your entire account. During rolling, remember to withdraw 30% of profits, to buy a house or a car—take the chips off the table—don’t let greed betray you.

Honestly, rolling isn’t gambling with your life; it’s waiting for opportunities. When they come, roll; if not, lie flat. Better to miss out than to operate recklessly.

Once you truly roll into that first 1 million, you’ll naturally understand position sizing and emotional cycles. From there, it’s just copy-paste.

This market is always like this—opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
