I've heard the phrase "HODLing coins for ten years is not as good as rolling over positions for ten days" too many times. At first, I just took it as a joke and didn't pay much attention.
Until one time, I decided to really give it a try. Using a principal of 10,000 USDT to roll over positions, within three months, the account grew to 1,000,000 USDT. Only then did I truly understand—making money in the crypto world is never about guessing the market correctly, but about whether you can stick to discipline, find the right rhythm, and add a bit of seemingly "lazy" wisdom.
When I first entered the crypto space, I chased the K-line every day. When the market was rising, I wanted to go all-in, and when it fell, I kept adding to my positions without letting go. Almost every beginner falls into this trap, and I was no exception.
Later, I gradually adjusted my strategy and started to understand some principles. First is position sizing—divide 10,000 USDT into 5 parts, and only operate with one part at a time, keeping the rest untouched. The obvious benefit of this approach is that no matter how fierce the market moves, you won't get liquidated all at once, and your account always has a cushion.
Second, take profit and stop-loss must be executed strictly. Before opening a position, calculate the risk-reward ratio. Take profits at the target immediately, and cut losses at the preset level without hesitation, avoiding any procrastination. It sounds simple, but few people actually do it.
Regarding coin selection, I only focus on the mainstream coins I am relatively familiar with. Altcoins can be exciting, but the risks are real, and I can't withstand such volatility within my capacity.
After each day's close, I must review my trades—what I did right, where my decisions went wrong, and how to improve next time. This is much more useful than staying up late staring at the screen.
The most core aspect is actually mindset. No matter how crazy the market gets, don't let emotions drive you to leverage. Treat rolling over positions as a stable compound interest process, not as gambling. This "get rich quick" feeling is actually more solid than going all-in and relying on luck.
In the crypto world, winners never rely on super-strong prediction abilities or luck. To put it plainly, it's about discipline and patience. To change the fate of the retail investors, start by protecting your principal, finding the right operation rhythm, and sticking to it—this is the hard truth.
