As a veteran who has been navigating the Digital Money field for ten years, I have witnessed countless legends of individuals transforming from ordinary to wealthy, as well as more tragedies of those who went from filled with hope to having nothing at all. These experiences have made me deeply realize that in this ever-changing market, risk control is the key to long-term survival.



A friend once asked me confusedly why he was still losing everything despite putting in all his effort. Upon reviewing his trading records, I found that he had invested 95% of his funds in a full long position with 10x leverage and did not set a stop-loss. As a result, a mere 3% market correction wiped out his account. This case vividly illustrates that going all-in does not equate to safety; rather, it can become a fatal trap.

After ten years of exploration, I have summarized three survival rules:

First, a single transaction should not exceed 20% of the total funds. This way, even if there is a misjudgment, the loss will not be significant.

Secondly, strictly control the single loss within 3%. For example, when using 2000U with 10x leverage, I will set the stop loss at 1.5%, with a maximum loss not exceeding 3% of the total capital.

Finally, in a volatile market, maintain a wait-and-see approach and do not enter blindly. Even if you have already entered the market, never impulsively increase your position due to short-term profits.

The true full-position strategy should be a cautious trial-and-error approach combined with strict risk management. I once guided a fan who frequently faced liquidation to adopt the "20% position + 3% stop loss" method, and within three months, he grew his 5000U to 8000U. This made him realize that the essence of full-position trading lies in seeking victory through stability, rather than going all in.

The ups and downs of the market over the past ten years have given me a deep understanding: whether it's full margin or incremental margin, they are just trading tools, and the core of profit lies in effective position management. Only by controlling your hands can you survive in this cruel market for the long term. Risk control is not a shackle that limits profits, but the confidence that ensures you can continue to participate in the game.

Now, I have transformed from a novice groping in the dark into a navigator holding a bright lamp. This lamp will continue to illuminate the path ahead; are you willing to follow?
