#数字资产动态追踪 The most dangerous trap in the crypto world is not slow losses. The real deadly one is when the price surges too fiercely, and a quick turn results in a complete wipeout.



Having been in this market for a long time, the most regrettable accounts I’ve seen are not those gradually worn down, but those that surge too aggressively and end up zeroed out. Turning a few thousand into a million within half a year is not rare here. What’s rare is someone who manages to take that money out intact.

Most people's stories are similar: a paper profit of tens of thousands, about to be unlocked, then a big retracement, losing all the profits and being forced out of the market. It’s not that the market is uncooperative or that their skills are poor, but they fell into the most fatal trap—the inability to stop.

Many people understand rolling positions as trading daily and constantly adding to their positions. But the truly life-saving rolling strategy is exactly the opposite: only trade when the market is highly certain, and otherwise hold tightly without action. Those who have blown large positions in futures contracts mostly fall into the same three mistakes:

- Forcing trades without a trend;
- Going crazy with small profits by adding positions;
- Holding on stubbornly during retracements without stop-loss.

In contrast, those who truly manage to roll their accounts are extremely disciplined. My own logic boils down to three points:

**First, lock in profits immediately after the first winning trade.** If the first trade is profitable, withdraw the original capital right away, and only use the profits for subsequent trades. This creates a completely different mindset.

**Second, the more you earn, the more cautious you should be.** When floating profits reach your target, raise your stop-loss to lock in some gains. Don’t greedily chase the top, but never let profits return to zero.

**Third, only trade during trend explosions.** It’s not about trading frequency but about market certainty. If the trend isn’t clear enough, it’s better to stay on the sidelines and wait.

In short, many people don’t lack the ability to make money—they fail to hold onto it. The difference in the crypto space is never about who catches more opportunities, but who can firmly hold onto the profits they’ve already gained. Patience, taking profits, and knowing when to stop are what qualify someone for long-term doubling.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that statement. I've seen too many people with a million on their books end up with nothing in the end. Greed is a disease that can't be cured.

Wow, this really hits the nail on the head. My buddy is the kind of person who ends up with a million on paper but finally clears everything out, and he keeps asking me what's going on... Really, an uncontrollable hand is the real killer, worse than losing money. At first, making some quick gains, he started to aggressively add to his position, claiming it's unstoppable, but what happened... I really like this kind of practical summary, no pretenses or hype, just talking about human weaknesses. I remember last year, a friend of mine hit 500,000 and was directly wiped out. During that time, he didn't even have the face to see people. Protecting the principal is truly crucial. Many people can't understand why they should withdraw their principal immediately, but actually, this is about resetting your mindset.

Really, that phrase "earned but can't hold on" hits hard. I've seen too many million-dollar dreams shattered in a moment of greed.

Really, I've seen too many people with million-dollar accounts wiped out overnight. Hands are truly the number one killer in the crypto world.

Really, I've seen too many dreams of millions shattered by the word greed... --- Exactly, it's that moment of not being able to stop that ruins you --- I have to take notes on the trick of guaranteed principal on the first order; it's more practical than any technical indicator --- Those who still want to catch the top after floating profits of hundreds of thousands are crazy. I really don't have that kind of nerve --- That's how the crypto world is: easy to make money, hard to keep it. Most people die before dawn --- Waiting with an empty position truly tests human nature. Most people can't wait a day and start itching to act --- I've seen accounts go from millions back to ten thousand—just one liquidation wave --- Raising the stop-loss is indeed a life-saving move, but it's not so easy to execute --- It's not poor technique, it's that your hands just can't stop. That hit home
