#数字资产市场洞察 I received a call from a friend in Zhejiang early this morning. His voice was a bit trembling: "Bro, I put all my 10,000 USDT in, used 30x leverage, and it only dropped 3%—and my account is gone?" Looking at his trading record—9500 USDT all-in, no stop-loss set! This isn’t trading, it’s gambling.

Many people have misconceptions about full position. Full position is not a talisman; used improperly, it can lead to the fastest ruin. The root cause of liquidation has never been leverage ratio, but position management. Take a 10,000 USDT account as an example: if you open a position with 9,500 USDT, a slight adverse move can wipe it out immediately. But think differently—if you only use 1,000 USDT to open a position, it would take a 50% drop to be liquidated—that's a huge difference, clearly visible.

I personally doubled my account in the crypto market over six months without ever being liquidated, relying on three unchanging principles:

First, no single position should exceed 20% of the total funds. For a 10,000 USDT account, never risk more than 2,000 USDT in one trade. Even with a 10% stop-loss, the maximum loss is 200 USDT, which doesn’t harm the total funds.

Second, limit the loss on a single trade to within 3% of the total position. For example, if using 2,000 USDT with 10x leverage, I set a stop-loss at 1.5%, risking 300 USDT. Even if I make several consecutive wrong trades, the account can withstand it and won’t be wiped out.

Third, during sideways markets, stay still; don’t trade even after making profits. I only take action at clear breakout points in the trend. No matter how tempting the oscillation range, stay disciplined. After opening a position, even if the account is rising, I won’t add to the position due to emotional fluctuations. Rhythm is more valuable than anything.

The essence of full position design is to leave room for error, not to make you gamble recklessly. A follower once kept getting liquidated every month, but after applying this logic, he turned 5,000 USDT into 8,000 USDT in three months. He said he used to think full position was gambling, but now he understands—using full position correctly is actually the most stable way to survive.

Surviving in this market is always more important than rushing to make quick profits. Focus less on guessing the right direction, and more on position control. It may seem slow, but in reality, it’s the safest and fastest way. If you always can’t control your hands, this method is here—just depends on whether you’re willing to try.
