Full position trading is actually less likely to get you liquidated; the key isn't leverage level, but how you leave yourself room to retreat.



Many people fall into this trap: thinking that liquidation is caused by leverage, but the real issue is having too full a position. For example, with a 1000U account, if you open a 10x leverage with 900U, a small move (just 5 points) can wipe out the account; but with the same 10x leverage, if you only invest 100U, it takes a 50-point move to reach zero. This demonstrates the power of position management—similar leverage, but vastly different tolerance for errors.

I've seen some traders put almost all their capital into a position, and when the market pulls back, their accounts are wiped out instantly. In contrast, I’ve been using full position trading for half a year without a single liquidation, and instead, I’ve doubled my capital. This success relies on these three strict rules:

**1. Keep each single position within 20% of total funds**

For a 10,000U account, no more than 2,000U per trade. Even if you’re wrong and stop-loss by 10 points, you only lose 200U, which has little impact on the total capital, leaving room for a comeback.

**2. Limit single-loss to 3% of total funds**

With 2,000U and 10x leverage, set a stop-loss at 1.5%. Once triggered, a loss of 300U hits exactly 3% of total funds. Even several losses in a row won’t deplete your energy, always leaving room for a turnaround.

**3. Avoid trading during volatile sideways markets, and don’t add positions impulsively after profits**

Only focus on key breakout points of the trend; resist the temptation to trade during consolidation. After opening a position, ignore minor ups and downs, and never add to a position based on emotions—this way, you won’t dig yourself deeper.

The true meaning of full position trading is to establish a fault-tolerance mechanism, not to gamble. A follower once had monthly liquidations, but by strictly following these three rules, he turned 2,600U into 100,000U in three months. Steady, disciplined trading is the long-term way to succeed.

Really, position management is the key to survival. Those who go all-in are gambling thinkers who should wake up already. --- Exactly, but I think most people still can't control themselves. They want to add more after making a little profit, and this bad habit needs to be fixed. --- The key is execution. Everyone knows these rules, but few really follow discipline. --- Doubling in half a year isn't fast, but the stability is truly reasonable. It's much more reliable than those players who go all-in at once. --- Turning 2,600 into 100,000 sounds great, but we need to see if it's a real case. There are too many stories in this circle. --- Stop-loss orders have really saved me many times. Once set, don’t change them. Emotional trading is the most toxic. --- The hardest part during consolidation is not to act. Lying flat and waiting for the trend really requires patience. --- Actually, these are all basic common sense. The hard part is that most people don't want to hear it at all. They only understand after they blow up once or twice. --- The risk control part is explained quite thoroughly, but U-based trading is still more reliable than coin-based trading.

To be honest, these three points are truly life-saving for trading, especially the third one. I've also suffered losses from emotional over-leverage. However, cases like growing from 2,600 to 100,000 are just for listening; you still need to hone your skills yourself.

To be honest, this set of position management is truly excellent. I used to blow up my account every day, but then I realized the problem wasn't leverage, it was my greed piling into full positions. Now I follow these three rules, and my account is finally alive, never wiped out again.

You're right, position management is truly underestimated. Many beginners like to go all-in and then complain and blame others.

It sounds like it's about risk management, but honestly, most people can't even do these three things, especially the third one. As soon as the market moves, they get itchy...
