📱 At 2 AM, my phone suddenly vibrated.
A voice message from a friend in Guangdong, clearly panicked:
> “Sister, my account had 10,000 U. I went all-in 10x long, but after just a 3% pullback… the money is gone. What happened?”
I quickly checked his records. He had thrown in 9,500 U all at once, no stop loss.
⚠️ Many people believe “all-in = strong conviction,” but that’s a dangerous misunderstanding.
👉 All-in is a double-edged sword — if you don’t control positions, you can blow up faster than with partial trades.
Why does all-in almost always lead to liquidation?
It’s not leverage itself, but position size.
With a 1,000 U account, if you use 900 U at 10x → just a 5% move against you = liquidation.
But if you use 100 U at 10x → it takes a 50% move to liquidate.
My friend went 95% of capital x10, so even a small dip wiped him out.
