A while ago, I came across a real-life case that was quite eye-opening.

A trader took $16,000 and went all-in with 10x leverage to go long. The market only pulled back 3 points, and his account was wiped out instantly.

I looked over his trading record, and it was even more painful than a liquidation—throwing all $15,300 in without stop-loss, without a plan, with no backup at all.

Many people think "full position is more resilient," but actually, it's the opposite. Once used incorrectly, full position can lead to quicker death than a partial position. What truly threatens you isn't leverage itself, but putting your entire wealth into the market.

Let's take the same $1,000 as an example:

Using $900 to open a 10x position, if the market moves 5 points against you, you’re wiped out immediately.

But if you only use $100, even a 50-point move against you, you still survive.

The real issue isn't market judgment—it's position management.

Those who dare to say "full position" aren't brave; they've already locked their risks in a cage. These three rules must be etched into your mind:

**First: Single trade position ≤ 20% of total funds.**

If you have $10,000, only risk up to $2,000 at a time. Even if you’re wrong, with a 10% stop-loss, you only lose $200, and you can start over anytime.

**Second: Single loss ≤ 3% of total capital.**

With $2,000 at 10x leverage, setting a stop-loss from the start limits your maximum loss to $300. A few consecutive mistakes won't damage your principal.

**Third: Only trade trend breakouts, avoid ranging markets.**

No matter how tempting sideways markets are, never intervene. If you're already in profit, don’t add to your position impulsively. If you notice your emotions rising, stop immediately.

In summary: full position is never about risking your life; it’s about leaving enough room for error. The longer you survive, the more your money will gradually flow your way.

I have a follower who used to almost blow up his account every month. After strictly following these three rules, he turned $5,000 into $130,000 in three months. He told me something I’ll never forget: "I used to think full position was about gambling my life. Now I understand, full position is for greater stability."

In the crypto world, it’s never about who can run faster, but who can survive until the end without being taken out. Less gambling on right or wrong directions, more focus on position size and pace—that’s the fastest and safest way.
