Contract trading, to put it simply, is a sharp tool for ordinary people to turn their fortunes around. But this tool cuts both others and oneself — it all depends on how you hold it.

Recently, I reviewed a rolling position strategy with a friend, from 1,000 USDT to 100,000 USDT, without ever going all-in at once. Sounds like motivational talk? But there is indeed a method.

**The first pitfall: Waiting to roll during consolidation is suicide**

Market conditions with no volume and no direction are traps. When do real opportunities appear? When the main force increases volume, prices break out, and market sentiment is ignited — that moment is the signal. We place our orders before BTC breaks out; once the trend starts, positions double immediately. The moment a trend begins is more valuable than anything else.

**The second pitfall: Adding to floating profits, not to losses**

This is the dead end for most people — lose and add, profit and run. Start with a 5% position, add more after floating profits appear; if profits exceed 60%, gradually increase. Never add to losing positions, only roll over profitable ones. This way, you amplify advantages in profit, not deepen losses.

**The third pitfall: Take profits actively, don’t stubbornly hold at one price**

"The three-stage take profit method" — first lock in minimum profit, then protect the principal, and finally let part of the position run to let gains grow. Don’t think about closing everything; that’s not cautious, that’s cowardice. The real rhythm is dancing within profits — if you hit the right timing, you soar; if you miss a step, everything collapses.

The essence of contracts is controlling the rhythm. Follow the trend, manage the pace, execute decisively — all three are indispensable. The market is still moving now, making it the perfect window for rolling positions.
