Why does full position trading frequently lead to liquidation? The truth is far more brutal than you think.

At 3 a.m., a friend panicked. He said, "I used 10,000 USDT in full position with 20x leverage to go long, and just a 5% pullback wiped out my account."

I looked at his holdings—full leverage, no stop-loss at all. This guy is basically playing Russian roulette with his account.

Most people get one thing wrong—the idea that full position mode itself causes liquidation. The real culprit is the position size and weight.

**Why is it that some people survive well with the same full position, while others are already out?**

In a 1000U account, putting 900U into 10x leverage—just a 5% market move and you're done. Conversely, with the same 1000U account only investing 100U at 10x leverage, you'd need a 50% move to get liquidated. The problem isn't the leverage itself; it's how much principal you put in.

That friend basically bet over 90% of his chips, and a small pullback was enough to wipe him out.

**I've been trading full position for half a year without liquidation, and I even doubled my money. Here are my three bottom lines:**

**① Single trade position cap: 20% of total funds**
— For a 10,000 USDT account, never invest more than 2,000 USDT in one trade. Even if stop-loss triggers a 10% loss, that's only 200 USDT—no real harm.

**② Single loss limit: 3% of total position**
— With 2,000 USDT at 10x leverage, set stop-loss at 1.5%. A 300 USDT loss is acceptable, and even if you keep losing, you can hold on.

**③ Trading rhythm: no action in sideways markets, no greed for profits**
— Stay idle in choppy markets, only step in when there's a clear breakout, and never add to positions out of fear or excitement.

The purpose of full position trading is to allow room for error during volatility, not to give gamblers a green light.

A follower who was stuck in a cycle of monthly liquidations two months ago, using this rule set, turned 5,000 USDT into 80,000 USDT in three months. His words were: "I used to bet everything recklessly; now I bet to survive."

In crypto, the rarest thing isn't getting rich overnight, but surviving long enough. Focus less on fighting the trend and more on managing your position size. Those who slow down often go the farthest.
