At 2 AM, the phone screen suddenly lit up in the darkness, buzzing nonstop.
A friend from Guangdong sent several voice messages, and when I listened, the voice was shaky:
"Sister Anxin, please save me! I leveraged my entire 10,000 U at ten times, and just now it retraced by 3%... how did it disappear all at once? Where did the money go?!"
I looked at his trading record, 9500 U fully invested with 10x leverage, and he didn't even set a stop loss.
Many people mistakenly believe that "full position = can withstand it," but the fact is quite the opposite — poor full position trading loses faster than incremental trading.
1. The key to full position liquidation: it's not leverage, but position weight
Taking an account of 1000 U as an example:
900 U with 10x leverage, if the market moves against you by 5%, it will liquidate directly, and the account will be zero;
But with 100 U and 10x leverage, it needs to move 50% to liquidate.
My friend's problem was that he bet 95% of his capital, and a slight retracement caused him to be liquidated.
2. Three principles that allowed me to have zero liquidations with full positions for six months and double my money
Single trade not exceeding 20% of total funds
Assuming you have a 10,000 U account, the maximum you can invest at once is 2000 U. Even if you misjudge the direction and set a stop loss of 10%, the maximum loss would be 200 U, which won't hurt the principal, leaving opportunities for rebounds at any time.
Single loss must not exceed 3% of total funds
For example, with 2000 U at 10x leverage, set a stop loss of 1.5% in advance, a loss of 300 U is exactly 3% of total funds. Even if there are several consecutive wrong operations, it won't be a big deal.
Do not open positions in volatile markets, do not chase profits
Only open positions during trend breakout markets; no matter how tempting sideways markets are, do not rush in. After opening a position, absolutely do not add to it to avoid emotional interference.
3. The true use of full positions: it is a buffer, not gambling
The original intention of full position design is to leave room for error in market fluctuations, but the premise is to trial with light positions and strictly execute risk control.
There was once a fan who faced monthly liquidations, but after following these three principles, within 3 months, he increased from 5000 U to 8000 U.
He said: "I used to think full positions were a gamble, but now I understand that full positions are to live more steadily."
The secret to survival in the crypto world is not who makes money the fastest, but who lasts the longest.
Bet less on direction, control positions more, slow is fast.
