#数字资产动态追踪 Regarding the dilemma of liquidation caused by full-position trading, many traders misunderstand it — the problem often isn't the leverage ratio itself, but rather the over-concentration of a single position.



Here's a straightforward example: For an account with 1000U, if you use 900U to open a 10x leverage position, a market move of just 5 points against you will completely liquidate the account; but if you only invest 100U with the same 10x leverage, it takes a 50-point move against you to trigger liquidation. The margin of error between the two is vastly different.

I once saw a trader put almost all of their principal into a single position, and when the market slightly moved, the account was wiped out instantly. On the other hand, another friend used a full-position strategy for half a year, not only avoiding liquidation but also doubling their funds — the key difference lies in these three execution rules:

**First: Keep single positions within 20% of total funds**

For example, with an account of 10,000U, you can only open positions up to 2,000U at a time. Even if you misjudge the direction and get stopped out by 10 points, you only lose 200U, which is 2% of the total funds. The account still maintains enough vitality to re-strategize at any time.

**Second: Set the single-loss red line at 3% of total position**

Using 2,000U with 10x leverage, pre-set a 1.5% stop-loss point, so that a single loss is capped at 300U, exactly 3% of the total funds. Even if you make several consecutive wrong judgments, it won't damage your capital's vitality, leaving ample room for recovery.

**Third: Do not act during sideways consolidation, and never add to profits**

Only take action on clear breakout opportunities. During sideways markets, resist the temptation to trade, avoiding those draining operations; after opening a position, regardless of price movement, control your emotions — no adding or increasing positions, to prevent falling deeper into the trap.

This is the correct way to use full-position trading — leave enough room for trial and error, rather than turning it into a probability game.

One trader used to blow up their account every month, but after strictly following these three rules, their account grew from 2,600U to 53,000U in three months. Steady accumulation and disciplined execution — this is the sustainable way to trade.

To be honest, these rules are well written, but I've seen too many people who know these principles but can't follow through... The key is still mindset; how many can truly resist adding more?

To be honest, I've seen too many stories of "my friend doubled their money." The key is still whether you can hold on yourself; otherwise, even the best strategy is useless.

Really? Just controlling position size, what's the use? Ultimately, you still need discipline. --- Wait, about this guy's doubling case... how many of those are survivor bias? --- 2% stop loss sounds easy, but when emotions run high during actual trading, who the hell remembers these? --- According to this logic, my previous wave was definitely gambler's mentality, no wonder it blew up. --- Interesting, just want to see if I can really stick to not adding for three months. --- Sounds nice, but with the market oscillating there, how can you possibly ignore it? --- Damn, from 2600 to 53,000... those numbers are a bit outrageous. --- It's basically copying the risk control logic from the futures trading circle, nothing new. --- The problem is most people read this article and forget about it the next day. --- Position control, I've heard it a thousand times, but many still end up dead.

Sounds good, but I still think most people simply can't follow through with the third point... Human nature is like that—when they make a profit, they want to chase; during sideways markets, they want to gamble. It's easy to say, but hard to do.

That's quite reasonable, but I think the key is still mindset. Even the best rules are useless in the hands of greedy people.

It's the same old theory, but the key is that most people simply can't do it. Once their mindset wavers, it's all over.
