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.
