#密码资产动态追踪 I was awakened by a frantic phone call in the early morning—A trader from Zhejiang was choking on his words as he recounted: His account of 5000U was gone, after holding a full position with 5x leverage, it was completely liquidated after just a 3-point pullback.



Stories like this happen every day in the crypto world. How many people stay up late studying market trends, stacking indicator systems, only to end up falling at the words "full position leverage"?

Similarly operating contracts, why do some accounts grow steadily while others are wiped out instantly? The key isn’t how precise the technical analysis is, but two fundamental principles: position management and stop-loss execution.

The three most effective ironclad rules are actually very simple:

**First: No single position exceeds 7% of total funds**
For an account of 5000U, the maximum operation per trade is 500U. Even if a stop-loss is triggered, the loss is just a drop in the bucket, not threatening the entire account’s survival. $BTC $ETH

**Second: Set the maximum loss per trade within 1.1% of total funds**
For example, a 500U position with 5x leverage, setting a stop-loss at 1% in advance, the actual loss is controlled at around 8.9U. Stop when needed, leaving no room for deep losses.

**Third: When the market trend is unclear, decisively close all positions**
This is the hardest to do. Don’t add to winning positions just because of floating gains; only enter when the trend is confirmed—for example, a daily breakout of a key support level with volume confirmation, then the signal is valid.

A fan once kept getting liquidated repeatedly, but after applying this logic, he went from 3,000U to 500,000U in four months. Steady and cautious wins the race, far better than gambling mentality.

The contract market is always there, no need to rush.

Full leverage is truly a deadly disease; I've seen too many people go back to square one overnight... That guy from Zhejiang just sounds upsetting.

Full position leverage is really the biggest killer in the crypto world. Watching more K-line charts is useless. --- The 7% rule sounds simple, but few can actually stick to it. --- That guy with 5x leverage lost 3 points in no time, and I just want to say—serves him right. --- I've seen too many people soften and change their stop-loss after setting it. --- Going from 3000U to 500,000U is not a dream, but the premise is that you’re alive. Those with full positions have long since gone to the afterlife. --- Honestly, it all boils down to two words—greed. Only by going all-in do you feel like you're trading. --- Holding cash in a bear market is the hardest. During times of floating profit, everyone wants to add more, but a single pullback can wipe it all out. --- The secret to wealth in crypto isn’t technical analysis; it’s these three boring iron laws. --- Reading this article makes me think of my own margin call last year... now I only dare to risk 7%.

Full position trading is really the biggest killer in the crypto world. I've seen too many stories of dreams of getting rich overnight shattered. --- The 7% rule is correct, but to be honest, most people simply can't follow it; mental preparation is too difficult. --- Stop-loss is easy to understand but hard to implement. When there's unrealized profit, who thinks about setting a stop-loss? Everyone just wants to take a shot. --- From 3,000 to 500,000 in four months? That requires incredible discipline. I’m definitely the kind of person who can't resist acting when I can't see clearly. --- Being completely out of the market is the hardest, I deeply understand this. When I'm idle, I just want to trade. --- Honestly, no matter how good your skills are, without risk management, you're just giving money to the market. I learned this lesson the hard way.

Going all-in with leverage is slow suicide, you have to blow up your account before you wake up. It's really hopeless.

Full leverage is really incredible. Where's the promised stop-loss?

Using full leverage is truly the deadliest poison in the crypto world; this guy is too unlucky... --- That's right, stop-loss is the lifeline; nothing is more important than staying alive. --- How is the case of turning 3,000 USD into 500,000 USD so outrageous... Is it real? --- The 7% rule is old news; the real problem is how many people actually follow it. --- Not clear enough? Go all-in? That's easy to say, but can you really resist? Haha. --- That guy from Zhejiang probably is still crying now; lost 5,000 USD in one shot... --- Leverage is like a knife; greedy people have bad luck. --- This theory is fine, but human nature is too difficult; the impulse to buy the dip is irresistible.
