#加密生态动态追踪 I've seen too many people whose accounts steadily grew from 1,000 yuan to one million, but when they couldn't hold their mindset on a single trade, it all collapsed to zero.



Futures rollover is considered one of the most extreme, violent, and brutal trading methods in the crypto world. Compared to holding coins and waiting for gains slowly, this approach's level of刺激 (excitement) is in a completely different league: either a overnight turnaround or a return to zero overnight.

I've seen many real examples in this circle—someone with only 1,000 yuan for food, who managed to grow to 100,000 in three months through rollover trading. It may seem unbelievable on the surface, but the logic behind it boils down to three points:

100x leverage, all profits reinvested, and stubbornly focusing on a single direction.

How does it work? Initially, only 300 USD is used to test the waters. Each time a 100x contract is opened, 10 USD of capital is used. Making 1% profit doubles the capital; after profits are made, half is withdrawn to the wallet, and the remaining half is used to continue rolling. The math looks brutal: 11 consecutive correct trades, turning 10 USD into 10,000.

But the question is, why do 90% of people die on this path?

Honestly, it's still human nature that can't get over:

After making profits, they can't bear to stop and always want to do another round. After losing, they become unwilling to accept it, and the more they lose, the more they want to add to the position to make up for it. Sometimes they look bullish, sometimes bearish, and the market keeps slapping them until they give up.

My own trading rules are so冷血 (cold-blooded) that sometimes even I feel uncomfortable:

If I judge wrong, I cut losses immediately, giving no room for regret. If I make 20 consecutive mistakes, I stop trading that day and take a forced break. When the account reaches 5,000 USD, I must withdraw the funds, transfer the money out of the contract platform, and leave no space for continued gambling.

I clearly remember last year's market行情 (trend)—it went from 500 USD to 500,000 in three days. But what you didn't see behind this number? I waited patiently for four whole months, just like a hunter crouching in the woods, waiting for the trend to truly take shape.

Futures rollover is never about trading daily or hourly just because of market fluctuations.

Its essence is "only when the wind truly starts blowing in the right direction, a single big punch is enough"—that is the operation mode.

Some still ask me if they can continue rolling. I turn the question back to them with three questions—think clearly before answering:

Is the current market volatility enough? Is the market direction clear, one-sided, clean, with no excessive noise? Can you only take profits from the fish body and avoid the fish head and tail, which are easier to get pinched?

If you answer "yes" to all three questions—then go ahead.

If even one answer is "no," or you say "not really"—then just watch quietly on the sidelines, don't move. Because what you're rolling isn’t just a position, but also your mindset, and ultimately, it’s your mindset that collapses.

Really, the mental hurdle is too difficult. I've seen too many people make a fortune only to lose it all back...

Honestly, greed is what kills people. I've seen too many stories of 500 turning into 500,000 and 500,000 turning into nothing.

That's so true. The real hurdle is the mindset. I've also seen many cases where people make a million but end up losing everything.

That's right, the mental aspect is really difficult. I've seen too many people make a fortune only to lose everything in a complete mess. --- Stopping is the hardest but also the most profitable. I deeply understand this. --- That wave from 500 to 500,000 was truly incredible, but the prerequisite is to stay patient for 4 months. Most people can't wait that long. --- The key is to admit that you're just an ordinary person; not everyone can always make the right call. --- 100x leverage, one mistake and it's all gone. It's not something everyone can handle. --- The harshest thing isn't stop-loss, but actually being able to take a break after stopping. I can't do that. --- Rolling positions is never about operational issues; it's a psychological game. --- Forcing a stop after 20 consecutive mistakes—anyone would have to accept this rule.

It sounds like a mindset issue, but I think this guy's "cold-blooded rules" are pretty ridiculous. To actually enforce them would require a lot of self-discipline, which most people simply can't do.

Wait a minute... How long have I been sleeping, and who's the big shot sharing their苦涩血泪史 (bitterness and tears story) now? Rolling positions, to put it simply, is gambling. Win, and you're in heaven; lose, and you're in hell. There's no middle ground. I'm not really brave enough to play this game. Gas fees alone could wipe me out, let alone 100x leverage. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. I'm actually convinced by the rule that requires a withdrawal of at least 5000u, at least it shows a bit of rationality, much clearer than most people. Speaking of which, four months hiding in the woods waiting for the right moment—how strong must one's willpower be... I don't even have the patience to wait for the market to turn around.

Exactly right, the real difficulty is in mindset; most people fail because of greed.

It all sounds right, but how many people can actually stick to this discipline, enough to count on their fingers...
