#数字资产市场动态 At 3 a.m., a frantic voice call came in. "Bro, I went all-in with 10,000 USDT at 20x leverage, and it only retraced 5%, but my account was wiped out!" The voice was full of panic.

Opening the trading record—full position, 20x leverage, no basic stop-loss at all. The problem was obvious. $BROCCOLI714

Such situations are actually quite common. Many people misunderstand the concept of "full position," thinking that the more account balance they have, the better they can withstand risks. But the opposite is true—once you operate improperly with full leverage, losses can come faster than with partial positions.

**The key is not leverage, but position size weight**

For example, with a 1000U account. Using 900U at 10x leverage, a mere 5% adverse move can lead to liquidation. But with 100U at 10x leverage, it takes a 50% move to be liquidated.

The brother's problem earlier was putting 95% of his principal into one trade, and a slight retracement was enough to wipe him out.

**After half a year of this approach, no liquidation and even doubled the capital**

There are three main principles:

1. No single position should exceed 20% of total funds. For a 10,000U account, the maximum single trade is 2,000U. Even with a 10% stop-loss, only 200U is lost, leaving room to recover;

2. Set the maximum loss per trade at 3% of total capital. For example, with 2,000U at 10x leverage, pre-set a 1.5% stop-loss. Once a 300U loss occurs, close the position. Several consecutive losses won't be fatal;

3. Avoid opening positions during sideways markets, and do not chase profits by buying high. Only enter when the trend is clear. Even in tempting sideways markets, hold back on opening new positions, and never add to existing ones after opening. When emotions are unstable, mistakes are most likely.

**Full position is essentially a buffer mechanism, not a gambling tool**

The original purpose of full position design is to leave room for volatility, but the premise must be light position sizing for trial and strict risk control discipline.

Once, a fan used to blow up his account every month before learning this method. After adjusting according to the three principles above, he turned 5,000U into 80,000U in three months.

He later said, "I used to think full position was gambling my life. Now I realize, full position is actually to help me survive more steadily."

The underlying logic of survival in the crypto world is simple—it's not about who makes money faster, but who survives longer. Reducing errors in market prediction and focusing more on position management is the right approach. Slowing down can actually accelerate progress. $TLM

Market opportunities are everywhere; what’s truly scarce is risk management awareness. To survive long-term in this market, start by learning how to lose properly.
