Last night, a fren who has been in the game for over a year suddenly messaged me: why does my account still drop to zero even though I got the direction right every time?



I was silent for a few seconds and replied with a harsh truth – you probably don't even know how to roll over your account.

Sounds heartbreaking, but this is the most common way to die that I've seen.

90% of liquidations have nothing to do with market judgment or luck. The core issue is simple: the execution method was wrong from the very beginning.

Wanting to secure profits after a two-point increase, immediately averaging down after a three-point drop, and getting stopped out with a slight pullback. Executing dozens of trades in a day may seem diligent, but in reality, it's just giving money to the market through fees and slippage.

The ones who can truly survive are not those who rely on guessing the ups and downs, but those who have a set of operating systems that do not collapse in extreme market conditions.

A few months ago, there was a particularly strange market trend, and at that time, I only left myself an operating limit of 10,000 U.

I am biased towards a bearish direction, but I didn't dare to rush in directly.

The first investment was only 500U as a test, the leverage wasn't set too low, but the stop-loss position was set very tightly—absolutely no action without a signal, every bit counts.

The results are running smoothly, and the floating profit is starting to rise.

At this time, many people start to get anxious, thinking about whether to directly go all-in. I've seen too many of these impulses.

But my operations are completely the opposite: only using floating profits to roll over, with the principal remaining unchanged.

When I make a profit of 50%, I take half of it to increase my position; if the price continues to break down, I put the remaining profit in.

When the market fully opens, that feeling is unforgettable once you've experienced it—it's not gambling, it's steadily profiting.

The most critical step is the last one: when the floating profit exceeds the principal, I directly lock in the safety cushion, using hedging to protect the existing profits, and then place a small ghost order specifically to capture that acceleration in the final segment.

During that wave, I had almost no emotional fluctuations and operated like I was executing a program.

Earning too smoothly feels a bit unreal.

That day I realized one thing: getting the direction right has never been the difficulty of trading; holding onto the profits is the core capability.

Many people say they are tormented by the market, but it's not the market's problem; it's that you fundamentally don't understand the underlying rules of this game.

If you are still stuck in the cycle of holding positions, waiting for rebounds, unable to catch pullbacks, and missing out on surges, what you need is not more technical indicators, but a set of rolling warehouse logic that can allow you to survive, stabilize, and ultimately profit.

I've been through enough pitfalls. From the right direction to profit realization, I've already figured out this path.

When you truly want to learn how to stand firm in the market, I can help you see clearly from there.

That's right. Even if you have the right direction, you still lose money because you simply don't know how to manage risk. You really have to fully grasp the concept of rolling positions for it to work.

That's true, but it's getting a bit annoying to hear it every day...

To be honest, just getting the direction right is indeed useless. I’ve seen too many people like this. The key is to have a system that allows you to survive; otherwise, you’re just giving money away.

To be honest, the rollover trap is indeed a bottleneck, and there are quite a few people who end up losing money when the direction is wrong.

To put it bluntly, it's just being too eager to trade. Once you get the direction right, you actually lose even faster, because you start to believe in yourself.

To be honest, having the right direction really doesn't matter much; too many people have died in rollover.

To be honest, it really doesn't help to look in the right direction... Not having kept a complete profit in hand is the original sin.

Wow, this is the painful lesson I learned last year. I watched the right direction every day but died in the rollover. Now I finally understand that it's really not a problem with the technical indicators.
