What exactly is rolling positions? Many beginners hear this term and immediately think of high leverage, margin calls, and overnight riches. But experienced traders don’t play by those rules.
The logic of rolling positions is actually quite simple: use small funds to repeatedly test and learn, and once you’ve correctly judged the market direction, you can leverage your profits to multiply gains during the truly favorable market phase. Sounds like gambling? Then you haven't understood the core concept.
The true strategy of rolling positions relies on three key points:
1. Risk Management — keep positions light, set stop-losses, and carefully calculate the number of attempts. It’s not about infinitely increasing leverage, but about precisely controlling each trade within your risk tolerance.
2. Judgment Ability — get the direction right and maintain the correct rhythm. This isn’t based on gut feeling, but on market data and trading logic.
3. Execution — stick to your plan once it's set, avoid reckless changes, and don’t let emotions take over. Many failures happen here.
Small funds can turn around without necessarily going all-in at once. Understanding the rhythm, controlling risks, and executing strictly can actually help you outperform most people.

Basically, don't go all-in blindly; you need to have a strategy.

That's right, execution is the real threshold; most people fail due to their emotions.

In simple terms, it's about controlling your emotions, managing risks well, and executing effectively—these three are the core.
Most people fail at the third point; plans are useless, and execution relies entirely on intuition.
This stuff sounds simple, but it really takes strong mental resilience to actually implement.
Small funds can turn around, no doubt, but the prerequisite is that you truly understand trading logic, not just rely on luck.
Risk management is well explained, but in reality, how many people can achieve precise control? Most still have a "go all-in" mentality.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds good, but most people simply can't achieve the third point.

That's quite right, but the reality is that 99% of people simply can't achieve the third point.
