Honestly, in the crypto market rolling positions, the biggest fear is a big drop wiping out all previous gains. I’ve summarized a strategy that I want to share with everyone.

**Position size is the prerequisite for survival**

Never risk more than 5% of your account on a single trade—that’s the baseline. Even if your account grows later, don’t think about adding leverage or increasing position size. A single heavy position can wipe out your previous profits—that’s the biggest pitfall in rolling positions.

Never add to losing positions. Only when your current trades are in profit do you roll half of the gains into the next trade. Small stop-losses are the key to resisting volatility—limit losses to no more than 1% of your account each time. Instead of holding through dips waiting for a rebound, set a stop-loss and live to trade another day.

**Profit-taking needs a plan**

Don’t randomly set profit targets. Follow EMA30 and EMA60; if the price falls below, close the position. When profits reach a small goal, take out 30% to lock in gains, and use trailing stops on the remaining position to ride the trend. Enable exchange notifications throughout the day so you don’t need to watch the screen constantly—respond promptly when signals appear.

**Entry signals should be consistent**

Look at three timeframes—daily for trend, 4-hour for direction, 15-minute for timing. Only act when all three point in the same direction. Volume is crucial—confirm it’s a sustained increase rather than a single pulse. For MACD, one indicator is enough; too many can lead to lagging signals. During Bollinger Band squeeze sideways markets, stay in cash and wait. Consider building positions only after volume and price breakouts occur.

**Leverage starts at 2x, maximum 4x**

High leverage is hard to control. Rolling positions aim for steady compound growth, not gambling with high leverage. Review your trades daily before bed—note missed signals and deviations, such as previous losses from ignoring volume. This logical approach has been passed around in crypto markets for a long time because it truly helps people turn their fortunes around.
