At 2 a.m., my phone wouldn't stop—Fujian friends kept calling me with voice messages, their voices trembling:

"I put 10,000 USDT into a full position with over 30x leverage, and just a tiny dip, why is my account gone?"

Checking the trading record, my head buzzed—

9500 USDT was directly dumped in, full position, 30x leverage, no stop-loss set.

Over the years, I've realized many traders have a huge misconception about full positions:

Full position is not a defensive move; using it incorrectly is the fastest way to get wiped out.

**The real truth about liquidation is this: what kills you isn't leverage itself, but the fact that you push your entire capital and life savings into a position too aggressively.**

Here's a simple calculation:

With 1000 USDT capital, using 900 USDT to open a 10x long position, just a 5% move against you, and your account is wiped out;

Alternatively, with 1000 USDT capital, only risking 100 USDT to open a 10x position, you'd need a 50% move against you to be liquidated—that's the power of position management.

The problem is never the leverage multiple; it's repeatedly putting your entire life savings into the market.

I can survive half a year without liquidation by following these three strict rules:

**① Single position limit ≤ 20% of total account balance**

**② Maximum single loss set at ≤ 3% of total account balance, with stop-loss firmly in place**

**③ During market volatility, stay calm and observe; don’t add to winning positions, keep a steady mindset**

The true purpose of full position is to help you survive longer, not to let you go all-in and turn things around instantly.

It's a tool to counter market fluctuations, not a gambler's button for a comeback.

Light position testing, strict stop-loss, disciplined execution—missing any of these three means risking your survival in this market.

**The game in crypto isn't about who makes the most money fastest, but who stays at the table the longest.**
