At two o'clock in the morning, an urgent private message yanked me out of bed— a guy I met in a trading group was blowing up the voice chat: "I f***ing had a ten thousand dollar long order with ten times leverage, and it got Liquidated after only a three point fall? What kind of logic is this!"

Open the screenshot and take a look, wow, 9500U is going all in, stop loss? Doesn't exist.

This situation is very typical. Many people treat full position as a "stress-resistant tool," thinking that having a thick account balance can withstand volatility. In reality? If used incorrectly, full position can be even more tragic than isolated position.

**The issue is not with the leverage multiplier, but with how much you have staked.**

With the same capital of 1000U, if you use 900U to open a long order at ten times leverage, and the market goes against you by 5%, it will go straight to zero; however, if you only use 100U to open a long order at ten times leverage, it will take a 50% fluctuation to get liquidated — this is the difference.

The guy's fatal flaw was putting 95% of his net worth in, and with leverage, he didn't leave himself any room for error. If the market hiccups a bit, his principal just evaporates.

**How did I manage to avoid liquidation and double my profits in the past six months? Three hard rules**

**Rule 1: Do not invest more than 20% of total funds in a single transaction**
A 10,000 U account can throw in a maximum of 2,000 at a time. Even if you misjudge and stop loss at 10%, you only lose 200 U, which doesn’t hurt the foundation, and you can recover at any time.

**Article 2: Control single loss within 3% of total position**
For example, if you open a tenfold position with 2000U and set a stop-loss line at 1.5% in advance, you will lose at most 300U—exactly 3% of the total capital. Even if you get it wrong three or four times, it won't be too damaging.

**Article 3: Do not trade in sideways markets, do not increase positions in profit**
Only engage in breakout trends with clear direction; remain on the sidelines even if the consolidation is tempting. Once a position is established, do not add to it, and do not let emotions dictate your decisions.

**The essence of full position: it is a cushion, not a gambling table**

The original intention of full position design is to leave a buffer space for volatility, but the premise must be light position trial and error + strict risk control.

A friend who previously experienced monthly liquidations strictly followed this strategy and rolled from 5000U to 8000U in three months. He later told me: "I used to think that going all in was risking my life, but now I understand that going all in is a tool to help me live more steadily."

The survival rule in this circle has never been about who makes the most money, but about who lasts the longest. Bet less on direction, and control positions more—slow is the real fast.
