Once you accumulate 1 million in principal, you'll find that your entire life situation changes. Even without leverage, a 20% increase in spot trading alone can earn you 200,000—this number already exceeds most people's annual salary.

During the process of growing from tens of thousands to 1 million, you'll gradually understand some underlying logic of making big money. Your mindset will also settle down accordingly. At this stage, subsequent operations are basically about replicating the methodology.

Don't always boast about billions or hundreds of millions; you need to start from your real situation. Being overly arrogant just makes others listen for entertainment. The core of trading lies in recognizing the size of opportunities. Usually, keep small positions to test the waters, and when a real big opportunity appears, bring out the real deal—this is the professional approach.

Regarding position scaling, this is a technique only used for big opportunities. You can't operate frequently; missing one or two times is okay. Because in your entire investment career, you only need to successfully scale three or four times to go from zero to tens of millions. And assets in the tens of millions are enough to help an ordinary person leap into the wealthy class.

When should you use position scaling? In the current market environment, only three scenarios have a high chance of success:

First: After a long sideways movement and volatility hits new lows, the market is at a crossroads to choose a direction.

Second: After a significant rally in a bull market, a sudden large drop occurs—this is the golden window for bottom fishing.

Third: Price breaks through important resistance or support levels on the weekly chart.

Apart from these three scenarios, all other opportunities should be abandoned. The essence of position scaling is to leverage in trending markets to achieve substantial profits, and when overall leverage passively decreases, increase your positions at the right time to realize compound effects. It sounds simple, but the execution is very challenging, requiring strong market perception and psychological resilience.

Basically, it's just waiting and not messing around. The big market moves only come a few times in a lifetime. While rolling positions sounds satisfying, most people die because of frequent trading, and they never get to experience those three or four real opportunities.

A million is indeed a watershed, but very few people can actually grow from tens of thousands to a million. Wait, three or four times of rolling over the position to reach ten million? Why do I feel like these numbers don't add up? That's a valid point. Most people simply don't get the real opportunity, and their mentality collapses. It's really about whether you're cold-blooded enough and whether you can let go. Talking about hundredfold or thousandfold returns is all nonsense. True professionalism is this kind of cold, logical thinking. With the current market, where is the so-called golden window? It doesn't feel like the opportunities are that obvious. Regarding mental resilience, it sounds simple, but actually doing it is really damn difficult.

theoretically speaking, the recursion here is wild—treating position-stacking like recursive SNARKs where each successful roll compounds the verification layer above... but ngl, most people don't have the zero-knowledge discipline to actually wait for those three scenarios. they're out there rolling every dip thinking they're professional lmao

Basically, you need capital; without capital, everything is pointless. It seems simple, but the real challenge is having extremely strong psychological resilience. From 1 million to 10 million, it sounds simple, but most people are still worried about that initial few ten thousand yuan. Can you take off after rolling your position three or four times? The premise is that you have to survive until that moment, and keep your mindset intact. Currently, the market is sideways, and volatility is ridiculously low. Is a big show about to start? No matter how eloquently you speak, it still depends on perception. This thing can't be copied.
