Many people are still blindly rushing this year, but their accounts are getting thinner and thinner.
Having been in this market for over ten years, I’ve seen more losing strategies than profitable ones—trembling when chasing a rise, soft-hearted when cutting losses, repeatedly being played around by market trends.
The truth must be said upfront: Surviving and making money has never depended on luck, but on controlling the rhythm.
Back then, I grew my $30,000 principal to six figures using a method that was actually very simple, but effective.
The core is two words—position rolling. That set of buying low and selling high? Just self-comfort for retail traders. What really makes your account grow is allowing profits to keep generating money. When the trend is up, don’t rush to cash out the profits; add more when you earn, using the gains to fight for bigger space. Look at those who have truly turned their fortunes around—none of them did it without continuously eating meat in the same wave of market movement.
Then, there’s position management. Don’t go all-in right away. With $30,000 in hand, I’d first use four or five thousand to test the waters—if I’m wrong, I’ll exit; if right, then continue. After a rise, split the profits into two halves—half taken out and set aside, the other half pushed forward. This way, even if a waterfall suddenly hits, you won’t be knocked back to the starting point.
Selecting the right targets also has a trick. Don’t scan randomly; focus on those with strong momentum, obvious volume increase, and just beginning their upward trend. When the moving averages straighten out and volume picks up, the direction is unlikely to be too off. Once a key support level is broken, withdraw immediately—no hesitation. This market will never reward indecisiveness.
Too many people get stuck on the three words “I can’t bear to” (舍不得). Trading requires learning to let go—emotion must be discarded, principal protected, opportunities patiently waited for, and if the rhythm is right, be ruthless.
If you want to truly stand up during this cycle and make your account multiply, just watching passively is useless. Pre-emptively positioning yourself and locking in the main upward wave is the real deal.

I'm also using this set of rolling positions, but my execution is poor. Even if I see the right direction, I still tend to be soft-hearted, always wanting to earn more, which sometimes results in losses instead.

Rolling positions does work, but the premise is to survive until the day of profit. Most people die at the water-testing stage.
It's easy to say, but in practice, the mindset can still collapse; seeing the support break often leads to hesitation.
Hearing that rolling from $30,000 to six figures sounds great, but it’s not clear how much was lost in the middle.
Taking out half of the profit is a good move; at least it can preserve some capital. Don’t go all-in, this really requires repeated self-reminders.
Once the rhythm is right, you have to be ruthless. This phrase hits hardest—most people tend to become more nervous and hesitant.
Using moving averages with volume to find such targets is indeed easy; the hard part is holding onto them after you find them.
After so many years of trading, the biggest takeaway is knowing that greed is not your friend. Instead of chasing waves, it’s better to wait for the wave.
The words "reluctant" have killed many accounts—I am a textbook example of the opposite.

Rolling position this strategy is indeed ruthless, but few people can really execute it. Most are still repeatedly beaten by emotions.
That's true; reluctance to cut losses is the real Achilles' heel.
Turning 30,000 U into a six-figure amount? It depends on market conditions, and compound interest also requires a trend to cooperate.
Splitting profits into two halves is indeed a safe move, but you need to be willing to distribute part of it.
Breaking key support levels and immediately withdrawing—sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult.
Letting go of what’s holding you back sounds easy, but in practice, your hands start trembling.
The main upward wave is rarely easy to catch; most people chase the high and get trapped.

Closing positions is indeed easy, but how many can really follow through to the end? Most are still ruined by emotions.

It's easy to say, but the key is discipline, and that's what I lack.
---
Thirty thousand dollars to six figures? Just listen to the data; I believe in the process.
---
Talking about letting go and decluttering sounds great, but who can really be ruthless when losing money?
---
It's easy to say that the resistance to the upward wave is at the right position, but why have I missed more opportunities?
---
The strategy of position management is fine, but there will always be a wave that makes you think you misunderstood.
---
Choosing the right target is the hardest part; everything else is just decoration.
---
People who turn around and keep eating meat? I can even vomit after just one wave.
---
The key is still stop-loss; that's really the difficult part.
