Being bombarded with urgent voice messages from a friend early in the morning, you immediately know it's another liquidation. He said he was using $TAKE with 10,000 USDT at ten times leverage to go long, and just a small pullback caused a liquidation. Checking the trading records, he went all-in with 9,500 USDT, without even setting a stop-loss — this kind of operation is indeed "showy."

Many people believe that full position investment can better resist risks, but this idea is a bit naive. The heavier the position, the faster you die. Ultimately, what determines life or death is not how high the leverage is, but the amount of principal you put at risk.

Taking a 10,000 USDT account as an example, if you use 9,000 USDT to open a 10x leverage position, a 1% market move against you could cause liquidation. Conversely, if you only use 1,000 USDT to operate, you can withstand nearly a 10% drawdown. That’s the difference.

I’ve been using full positions for half a year without liquidation, and I even doubled my funds. The core principles are these three:

**First: Never risk more than 10% of your total funds on a single position.** For a 10,000 USDT account, invest at most 1,000 USDT at a time. Even if you’re wrong and hit stop-loss, it’s just a small cut, not damaging the principal.

**Second: Limit your maximum loss on a single trade to within 3% of your principal.** For example, a maximum loss of 300 USDT. It’s understandable to feel distressed, but it’s psychologically acceptable. This way, you can stay rational and not become increasingly aggressive.

**Third: Don’t watch the market oscillate, and don’t chase profits when they appear.** Only take action when the trend truly breaks out. The rest of the time, just control your own hands.

The real purpose of full position trading is to increase your margin for error, giving you a chance to survive mistakes, not to gamble your life. A trader I knew used to blow up every month, but after following this logic, he turned 5,000 USDT into 8,000 USDT in three months. He said he finally understood that full position trading is actually about staying safer.

The most valuable thing in the crypto world is to stay alive. Impatience won’t cook hot tofu; slowing down is the way to go further.

Look at his move... Fully loaded at 9500U with no stop-loss, this is not showing off, it's seeking death. Really, many people misunderstand "full position"; it doesn't mean to go all-in.

Here comes another one, is this TAKE? Bro, you didn't set a stop-loss at all, I was sweating for you. This guy basically treats the entire position as betting capital, and a 1% fluctuation can wipe it out. You really should listen to his advice: 10% position, 3% stop-loss. It sounds conservative, but that's how you survive longer. Never had a blow-up but doubled your money—that's the way to be a winner. Controlling your emotions is more important than anything else.

According to the supply and demand curve, this guy's operation is a classic "Schrödinger's bull market" narrative—before the explosion, he's a genius; after the explosion, he's a rookie. It perfectly illustrates the philosophy of a bear market. Even Buffett says it's good, but you need a stop-loss. This is called the art of floor price management. Going all-in at 9500U without a stop-loss is, in a sense, the ultimate interpretation of the Web3 decentralization spirit... Poverty as an explanation. Slow down to achieve 10x; a quick liquidation only needs 1%. Why do I feel like this is writing "The Song of Life" with candlestick charts? A 1% fluctuation vs. a 10% tolerance—this difference makes me think of Van Gogh's Sunflowers—creative work with reservations always lasts longer. Really, being alive in the crypto world is the most perfect value consensus.

9500U full position with 10x leverage, this guy is really trading with his life on the line, liquidation is almost inevitable. No, I just want to ask why some people still think full position can withstand risk. Who came up with this logic? 10% position size, 3% stop loss, control your hands. Easy to say, but really hard to do.
