#SOL升值空间 The root cause of full-position liquidation: Do you really understand your position?

The day before yesterday, a trader from Shenzhen was devastated in the group— a full-position account with 10,000 USDT, opening a long position with 50x leverage, and the market only retraced 3%, leading to liquidation. I checked his position records, and he poured in almost 9,500 USDT without leaving any room, not even setting a stop-loss.

Many people have a misconception that full position means strong risk resistance. In fact, the opposite—if not managed properly, full position can lead to faster ruin.

**How critical is position size?**

Take the same account as an example, 1,000 USDT:

Scenario A: 900 USDT with 10x leverage, a 5% adverse price movement will liquidate.

Scenario B: 100 USDT with 10x leverage, even a 50% market move leaves you alive.

Do you see? It’s not about the leverage multiple, but how much principal you invest. My buddy put in 95% of his capital, used 10x leverage, and a slight fluctuation wiped him out.

**Three bottom lines to keep your account alive longer**

1. No single position exceeds 20% of total funds. For example, with a 10,000 USDT account, only trade up to 2,000 USDT at once. Even if you make a wrong call, a 10% stop-loss only loses 200 USDT, leaving 95% of your principal intact for a comeback.

2. Single loss does not exceed 3% of total funds. For instance, with 2,000 USDT at 10x leverage, set a 1.5% stop-loss in advance; once triggered, it loses 300 USDT— exactly 3% of total funds. Even several wrong trades can be endured.

3. During volatile markets, prefer to observe rather than add to positions. Only act on trend breakouts; wait during sideways movements, no matter how tempting. Do not add after opening a position—avoid emotional trading.

**The essence of full position is defense, not gambling**

The original design of full-position mode is to reserve buffer space for market fluctuations. But the prerequisite is—light positions for validation + strict stop-loss.

A fan used to blow up his account every month, but after following these three rules, he grew his account from 5,000 USDT to 8,000 USDT in three months. He once said something I remember: "I used to think full position was playing with fire, now I understand, full position is actually for staying steady."

**The ultimate rule in crypto is simple: surviving is more important than making money**

If you can survive longer than others, you will naturally profit. Those who get liquidated are always looking for a chance to recover; those who survive are waiting for the next trend.

In summary: full position is not a gamble, but a risk management tool. When used properly, market volatility becomes your buffer zone.
