At two in the morning, my phone suddenly vibrated non-stop. It was a voice message from Akai in Hangzhou, his voice trembling:

"Sister, I opened a long position with 3 times leverage on my 7500U account, and it dropped by 4 points, all my money is gone! How could it happen so fast?"

I opened the trading screenshot he sent, and there was not a single cent left in the 7500U account; the stop-loss field was empty—this operation made me frown.

Many beginners always think "the full warehouse can withstand small drops," but a full warehouse is like an electric vehicle without brakes; a slight bump can cause it to "flip over," much faster than a liquidation of individual positions.

The root cause of full warehouse liquidation is not high leverage, but an overly full position. It’s like the 6500U account; if 5500U uses 3 times leverage, a 3% reversal in the market will lead to liquidation;

but if only 650U uses 3 times leverage, even with a 25% fluctuation, the principal remains stable. Akai put all his money on the line; under 3 times leverage, this small drop was simply unbearable.

Actually, it is possible to make steady profits with a full warehouse. I tried three principles for half a year, never faced liquidation, and made quite a bit of money, so I hurried to share them with Akai:

① Use at most 10% of the principal for each trade. For a 7500U account, the maximum single investment is 750U; even if a stop-loss occurs, the loss is just a small part, and it won't collapse all at once.

② Single loss should not exceed 1%. For example, for 750U with 3 times leverage, set a stop-loss line at 1.1% in advance, the maximum loss is 24.75U, only accounting for 0.33% of the total principal, making the risk completely controllable.

③ Do not touch the full warehouse if it has been sideways for more than 4 days. When the market lacks direction, firmly avoid using the full warehouse; wait for the daily candlestick to show a clear trend before entering the market, and do not let short-term fluctuations lure you into increasing your position.

Before, student Xiaomeng cleared his account every month due to full warehouse liquidation, but after following these three principles for two months, his 4500U account slowly rose to 5800U.

He said: "I used to think the full warehouse could make money quickly, but now I realize that first preserving the principal without losing it is how I can slowly earn money."

A full warehouse can be used, but the key is not to treat it as a "gamble" tool; follow the principles, control the risk, and only then can earning money feel substantial.

Later, Akai operated according to this method and never faced liquidation again. Last month, he told me that his account finally recovered the previous losses.

In the past, I walked in the cryptocurrency world alone in the dark, but now I pass the "light" on

— this light is the rules and patience; are you willing to follow along? @Yaya丫
