Let profits run – to keep capital asleep.
Have you ever seen others flaunt their accounts multiplying by dozens in just a year, while you remain stuck in the loop of 'bottom-fishing – holding losses – burning accounts'?
That feeling is not pleasant at all.
I have met many people like that. They draw beautiful charts, talk fluently about projects, understand all kinds of indicators… but their accounts keep getting thinner.
The problem is not in technical analysis, but in capital management.
Today I share with you an extremely important mindset – the rolling profit strategy – the invisible boundary between the trader who survives long-term and the one who forever remains a 'small fish.'
The Nature of Rolling Profit: Use Profits to Take Risks, Not Capital
The rolling profit strategy (also known as floating profit add-on) has one principle only:
Only use profits to increase position – do not touch the initial capital.
For example:
You have 100 million initial capital.
Instead of going all-in with 100 million right from the start, you only enter an order of 20 million.
When the order profits 10% → you have an additional 2 million profit.
You use that 2 million to open a new position.
If the market continues to rise:
→ continue to use profits to roll more.
→ the initial capital remains preserved.
If the market reverses:
→ you may lose the profits you have rolled
→ but the initial capital remains intact.
This is how big players survive through many bull-bear cycles.
Why Do 90% of Traders Lose Money?
Most failures are not due to a lack of knowledge, but rather going against the correct trading instinct:
1. Profits are not dared to be rolled – Losses are averaged down
Profits make you afraid of losing → cash out early
Losses make you hopeful → roll more → burn out
While the correct principle is:
Cut losses quickly – let profits run far
2. Cashing out too early in a big bullish wave
Many people who make 10–20% rush to cash out, while behind them is a wave of x2 – x5.
The rolling profit strategy helps you:
Maintain your position while the trend is still strong
Increase your scale when the market supports you
3. Trading too much in a sideways market
90% of the time the market is sideways.
If you try to roll profits in a sideways market:
→ it only wears down your account.
Rolling profits are only for 10% of the time when the market has a clear trend.
3 Mandatory Conditions for Successful Rolling Profits
Based on practical experience, this strategy should only be used when there are 3 conditions met:
1. Clear Uptrend
Do not roll profits in a downtrend.
Do not catch the bottom.
Only follow the trend.
2. The Market Has Cash Flow and Interest
Priority:
Top coins
Have a strong community
Have a narrative
Avoid:
Low liquidity coins
Coins manipulated by operators
3. Choose Large Coins
BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB...
Large coins:
Less volatile
Easy to set stoploss
Not suddenly withdrawn liquidity
Real Example: Rolling Profits with SOL Waves
A typical case:
Open the first position: 20% capital when SOL breaks the old peak
Set stoploss -5%
When the price increases by 20% → use all profits to open more positions
Move stoploss to the breakeven price
When the price increases by 50% → continue to roll more
When breaking the trend → cash out everything
Result:
→ profits nearly 3 times the initial capital
It's not luck.
It's discipline.
Advice for Beginners
1. Do not use high leverage
High leverage is not for newcomers.
A slight shake in the market can wipe out your account.
2. Always have a mobile stoploss
When the price rises:
→ move stoploss up
→ lock in profits
→ give the price breathing space
3. Take partial profits at resistance levels
No need to cash out everything.
Sell 50% to protect the results.
Keep 50% to ride the big waves.
4. Withdraw profits periodically
When the account reaches a certain milestone:
→ withdraw part to cold wallet
→ preserve the results
→ avoid 'profits on the screen'
Psychology is the decisive factor
Any strategy can be learned.
But discipline must be cultivated.
There will be times when you see profits being withdrawn.
There will be times you doubt yourself.
The difference between successful people and failures:
Successful people follow the system – failures listen to emotions.
Conclusion
Crypto is not lacking in opportunities.
What is lacking is a person with enough patience to survive until the opportunity arises.
If you are still going in circles in a losing streak:
→ it's time to stop
→ review the system
→ learn how to protect capital
Slow but steady – less but durable – is the long-term path.
In a bull market, the scariest thing is not missing out on opportunities,
but when the opportunity arises, you no longer have capital to participate.
Protect your capital.
Learn how to let profits run.
And use rolling profits as a tool for sustainable account growth.
