Many people, when they hear about full position trading, immediately think of one word: gambling. It’s as if full position trading is like playing roulette in Siberia—either losing everything or getting rich overnight.



But my six months of practical experience have overturned this perception. Not blowing up the account and doubling the account balance—these seemingly contradictory results—actually stem from a simple and straightforward risk control system.

This method isn’t something I came up with behind closed doors; it’s been refined through real trading. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader, you can apply it directly. Specifically, there are four rules:

**Rule 1: The maximum single position is 20% of total funds.** This prevents you from risking your entire capital at once. Even in highly favorable market conditions, leave yourself an escape route.

**Rule 2: Limit single-loss to within 3% of total capital.** This is your stop-loss red line. Once reached, exit unconditionally. During consecutive mistakes, this rule can save your account.

**Rule 3: Do not trade in choppy markets.** Opening positions within consolidation zones often leads to being lured into false breakouts. If you don’t trade, you won’t fall into these traps.

**Rule 4: Do not chase profits after a winning trade.** Take profits when the market is good, let the gains run for a while, then add to your position. This locks in profits and avoids being caught in a retracement.

On the surface, these are four constraints, but in reality, they are four layers of insurance. The position limit prevents you from going all-in, the loss limit prevents serious damage, market filtering keeps you away from false signals, and profit management ensures you actually keep the money you earn.

In the crypto market, risk control is never about shackling yourself. Quite the opposite—it’s what allows you to go further. Adhering to these four principles, you’ll find that full position trading is actually based on solid logic, a repeatable and stable way to generate profits.

Risk control, to put it simply, is about surviving longer; it's not something you can master in a single shot.

Wait, a 20% single transaction limit... This number looks familiar. Wasn't it the same ratio when a major wallet bought in bulk last year? After scanning the on-chain data, I found that the institutions' position management standards are exactly the same as retail investors' "recommendations." There must be some hidden trick behind this. Or perhaps they are manipulating in reverse to make retail investors suffer losses? I'll review the transfer records again late at night.

Sounds good, but how many people can truly stick to these 4 principles?

Sounds good, but the key is execution. Many people know these principles but fail to implement them...

20% ceiling sounds like insurance, but in practice, it's still easy to break through.
