#数字资产动态追踪 It's 3 a.m., and my phone buzzes with notifications. After answering, a familiar voice hurriedly says, "I used 10,000 U to open a 20x leverage full position, and the market only pulled back 5% before it exploded. How is that possible?"

I pulled up his trading records and took a quick look—full position with high leverage, no stop-loss set. I've seen this kind of situation too many times. Most people have a misconception that full position means strong risk resistance, but actually, it's the opposite. Using full position incorrectly makes it easier to lose everything than using isolated positions.

**Why is it so easy to blow up with a full position? The key isn't the leverage multiple, but the position size proportion**

Here's a simple example:

An account with 1,000 U, using 900 U to open a 10x leverage position. Slight market movement of 5% against you? You're done, wiped out immediately. Conversely, with the same 1,000 U account, investing only 100 U at 10x leverage, you'd need a 50% move to get liquidated.

My friend's fatal mistake was putting 95% of his capital into one position. Even a slight market correction left him no room to maneuver.

**Three bottom lines I rely on to stay in the market for half a year without getting wiped out**

First, single position size should not exceed 20% of total funds. For example, with a 100,000 U account, invest no more than 20,000 U at once. Even if you get the direction wrong, setting a 10% stop-loss means a loss of only 2,000 U, which doesn't hurt your core capital and keeps your ammunition for a comeback.

Second, stop-loss per trade should not exceed 3% of total funds. Taking 2,000 U at 10x leverage as an example, set a 1.5% stop-loss in advance, risking 300 U, which is exactly 3% of your total capital. Even if you hit a few traps, you won't be wiped out.

Third, avoid trading in choppy markets, and don't chase profits after gains. Only enter when the trend is clear and key levels are broken. Even if the market consolidates, you must resist the urge to open new positions. After opening a position, never add more due to emotions. Discipline is protecting your principal.

**The original purpose of full position is to leave room for volatility, not to gamble your life**

Once, a follower of mine was almost wiped out every month by not following these three rules. After changing his strategy, he started with 5,000 U and grew it to 80,000 U in three months. He later told me, "Now I understand—full position isn't for gambling; it's to survive longer."

The rules of this market have never been about who makes money faster. There are plenty of people who make quick profits, but those who survive longer are the real winners.

Controlling your position size and avoiding frequent trading may seem slow, but it's actually the fastest way.
