Recently, a friend asked me, "Can I turn around with 500 bucks in the crypto world?" I just laughed at the time.

Turning around, to be honest, has little to do with the principal amount. The key is whether you can grasp the rhythm of position rolling. In our previous operation with a 130,000 account, going from zero to profit, it wasn't luck that made it happen, but a methodical approach and rhythm throughout.

Understand this logic, and remember these three points, and you'll avoid many detours.

**First Pitfall: Don't Make Reckless Moves in Volatile Markets**

Choppy markets are the biggest test of human nature. When the market has no clear direction, fluctuating up and down, it's easy to be shaken out. I've seen too many people frequently stop-loss and re-enter during such times, ending up with high fees and losses.

The real profit opportunities come when a trend starts. When the market begins to show a clear direction and volume follows, that's the signal to enter. For example, when BTC had a breakout once, we had already positioned ourselves before the trend exploded, and as soon as the move started, we reaped gains. So it's not about choosing the lowest point, but about entering at the right time when the direction is clear.

**Second Misconception: Position Adding Skills Determine Life or Death**

What I want to say here is that adding to your position isn't about going all-in when you're in profit. My habit is to only allocate about 5% of my capital for the first order, then gradually add as profits accumulate. When floating profits exceed 50%, I start to steadily increase my position, without rushing or greed.

In contrast, many people's approach is the opposite—adding when losing to average down, and rushing to exit when making money. This kind of operation isn't sustainable in the long run. The secret to rolling positions isn't speed but stability. Roll steadily and move forward with rhythm—that's the core.

**Third Detail: Take Profits in Layers**

Many still use fixed take-profit points, which is too rigid. We use a phased take-profit method—

First phase: lock in some profits as a safety net;
Second phase: protect the cost without losing;
Third phase: let the remaining position follow the trend freely.

The benefit of this approach is that you're not in a rush to exit, leaving some positions to let the market continue to carry you, which can also lead to larger profits.

Ultimately, rolling positions is like dancing on the edge of a knife. But once you master the rhythm, steady profits are no longer a dream. Instead of blindly smashing, it's better to find the right direction and do it systematically.
