The crypto world has a manipulative and risky tactic called contract rolling. For bold and meticulous traders, this might be a quick way to grow funds; but for most people, this path leads to total loss.



You can see all kinds of legendary stories: someone starting with a few hundred dollars, growing to over ten thousand in three months, with their account multiplying hundreds of times. But looking back, many accounts are wiped out in a single operation, leaving only regret and records of zeroing out.

Compared to simply buying and holding coins, this kind of gameplay is on a completely different level of excitement. Success is like a rocket launch; failure means losing everything. Imagine only having $1,000 for living expenses, and turning that into $100,000 through three months of contract trading—stories like these are endless in the crypto circle.

Why do some people succeed? It all boils down to three core factors:

**First is leverage multiple.** 100x leverage means you can use a small amount of capital to control a large position, accelerating gains but also losses. It’s like a double-edged sword—profits come quickly, but losses do too.

**Second is profit compounding.** The money earned isn’t withdrawn but immediately reinvested into the next round. A 1% profit is added again and again, creating a cycle where profits snowball. That feeling can make adrenaline surge.

**Third is directional consistency.** Once the direction is chosen, focus entirely on it—don’t frequently change your mind. Many failures happen because of indecision—seeing the market bullish today, bearish tomorrow, constantly changing strategies, and ultimately, accounts repeatedly losing.

When I first started testing the waters, I used $300 as a small initial capital, opening positions with only $10 on 100x contracts each time. Although the numbers are small, the psychological experience and strategic execution are actually no different from large-scale operations.

There are always more people who reset to zero than those who get on the bus, and this is the truth.

Honestly, rolling positions is just gambling; the winners are always a minority. I've heard too many stories of wiping out; it's better to honestly realize the assets. 100x leverage? I just watch and don't touch; my heart can't handle it. Those guys who rolled from a few hundred bucks to ten thousand, luck plays a huge role. Having a consistent direction sounds simple, but who can really execute it? It's all armchair strategizing after the fact. I also want to try the feeling of small-scale rolling positions, but I always feel I’ll have to pay tuition sooner or later.

The majority will always reset to zero, and the stories of a few multiplying a hundred times are enough to be captivating.

Well... basically, it's legal gambling disguised as a gambler's mentality. I've seen too many brothers who have gone all-in.
