#大户持仓动态 In the early morning phone call, my friend's crying tone instantly woke me up—her 20,000 USDT was wiped out overnight. Full position with 10x leverage, no stop-loss set—this is the most common fatal mistake made by crypto beginners.

I reviewed her trading records. She threw all 19,500 USDT in at once, with no risk buffer. She stayed up late into the early morning, watching the price drop step by step, from holding onto a glimmer of hope to complete despair, until the system forcibly liquidated her position, leaving her completely collapsed.

Many traders have a misconception—that full position means sharing the risk, after all, it’s their own principal, and if they lose, they can double up and recover. In reality, the market never gives gamblers a chance.

The problem with full position isn’t the leverage itself, but the act of "heavy positioning." Suppose the account has 1,000 USDT. Using 900 USDT to open a 10x leverage position, a 5% adverse move would directly liquidate the position; but if only 100 USDT is used with 10x leverage, the market would need to move 50% against to cause trouble. My friend risked 95% of her principal; under 10x leverage, any slight pullback felt like a knife stabbing in.

Later, I summarized three core principles that I’ve adhered to for half a year—never once did I get liquidated, and my account doubled:

**First, only use 20% of total funds each time.** For a 10,000 USDT account, at most 2,000 USDT per trade. Even if this trade hits a 10% stop-loss, losing 200 USDT, it’s not fatal relative to the entire account.

**Second, maximum loss per trade should not exceed 3%.** Using 2,000 USDT with 10x leverage, setting a 1.5% stop-loss in advance, the liquidation loss is strictly controlled within 300 USDT, which is 3% of the total funds.

**Third, trade only with a trend, and do not add positions to profits.** Avoid trading in choppy markets, only follow clear price trends—this helps prevent emotions from overpowering rationality.

Someone I mentored went from getting liquidated every month to turning 5,000 USDT into 8,000 USDT in three months. She later said something quite interesting: "I used to think full position was a gamble, now I realize that light positions allow for steady, sustainable growth."

In this market, only those who survive will have the chance to see gains. The market is brewing; don’t wander blindly in the darkness alone anymore. If you want to learn trading discipline, we can study together.
