At one in the morning, my phone buzzed—"vroom"—with a tremor.

The friend from Zhejiang's voice trembled as soon as the call connected:

"Bro, it's over, my 20,000 U, fully invested with 10x leverage, has dropped 3%, it's all gone!"

I looked at the record, 19500U was fully invested, without even setting a stop loss.

A typical case of—"betting your life for profit."

Many people think that full investment is courage, that it's "my own money, losing a bit can still be recovered."

In fact, quite the opposite, full investment is the most deadly illusion in the crypto world.

It’s like a knife; being sharp is an advantage, but once it backfires, the one hurt the most is yourself.

The root cause of liquidation is never leverage, but heavy positions.

For example:

You have 1,000 U, using 900 U to open 10x leverage, if the market reverses by 5%, the account goes to zero;

But if you only use 100 U to open 10x, the market has to reverse by 50% for it to matter.

My friend risked 95% of the principal under 10x leverage,

If the market only retraces by 3%, it feels like a bullet through the heart.

Later I summarized three 'survival principles'.

Persist for half a year, never blowing up once, and the account doubled instead:

① Only use 20% of the total capital each time.

Account 10,000 U, only move 2,000 U at a time.

Even with a 10% stop loss, the loss would only be 200 U, not damaging the fundamentals.

② Single loss should not exceed 3%.

2,000 U to open 10x, set a stop loss of 1.5% in advance,

The maximum loss is 300 U, just 3% of the total capital.

Controlling losses allows you to keep your principal.

③ Do not trade in a sideways market, do not increase position when in profit.

Only trade trending markets, do not let emotions dictate your actions.

Making money is not about being 'more aggressive', but about being 'more stable'.

A fan executed these three principles,

From monthly liquidations to rolling 5,000 U to 8,000 U in three months.

He later told me: 'I used to think going all in was about betting big, but now I understand that going all in is to survive longer.'

In the crypto world, being able to survive means you qualify to talk about making money.

Remember—

Position size does not mean more profit, but rather more stability over time.#广场热度值助燃心仪代币 #加密市场回调 #美国加征关税 $ZEC $IN
