At two in the morning, my phone was shaken awake.
A brother from Jiangxi was frantically sending voice messages, he was on the verge of collapse:
'Star brother, I opened a long position with 10 times leverage on 10,000U full position, and it disappeared after a 3% pullback, how is this possible?'
I opened his trading record and took a look—
9500U full position charge, 10 times leverage, zero stop loss.
Many people think 'full position = stability', 'putting all the money in makes it more resistant to volatility'.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite:
Using full position improperly leads to faster losses than using partial position.
1. The root cause of total liquidation: it’s not leverage, it’s position size.
Take 1000U account as an example:
900U × 10 times leverage
As long as the market moves against you by 5%, the account goes directly to zero;
100U × 10 times leverage
You must move 50% to get liquidated.
Do you see the key?
It's not leverage that harms you; it's that you put too much weight on your capital.
My brother put in 95% of his capital,
A 3% pullback caused him to be liquidated, without even having time to react.
2. I have tripled my full position in half a year without liquidation based on these 3 iron rules
These three rules; even missing one will not work:
1) No single transaction should exceed 20% of total funds.
10,000U account, a maximum of 2,000U at a time.
Even if the direction is wrong, a 10% stop loss only results in a 200U loss.
Able to afford losses, while still being able to continue fighting.
2) Single loss not exceeding 3% of total position
For example, 2000U ×10 times, set a stop loss at 1.5% in advance, losing 300U = 3%.
Even if I make three mistakes in a row, it won't hurt the capital structure.
3) Do not open positions during fluctuations, do not increase profits.
Only trade breakthrough trends; no matter how tempting a sideways market is, do not engage.
Absolutely do not add to the position after opening; do not let emotions dictate trading.
3. The true meaning of going all-in: it is a buffer, not gambling.
The design purpose of going all-in is to allow for "error tolerance," not to make you gamble with your life.
The premise must be:
Light positions for trial and error + strict stop-loss + phased position building.
I once had a brother who got liquidated once a month.
Just follow these 3 rules, and in 3 months, I turned 5000U into 8000U.
He said something that left a deep impression on me:
"I used to think that going all-in was a gamble for my life, now I realize going all-in is to avoid dying."
The true survival rules of the cryptocurrency world
It's not about who makes money quickly, but who survives longer.
Direction relies on judgment, position relies on discipline.
Slow ≠ not making money,
Slow = more stable, longer-lasting, and more sustainable profitability.
Opportunities are always there, but they are reserved for those with positions and rhythm.
