#数字资产市场动态 Full position all-in with 10x leverage but gets liquidated after just 3 points? The problem isn't the leverage itself, but that you simply don't know how to use it.

Recently, I saw a record from a brother who went all-in with 10,000 USDT on a 10x long position, and when the market only pulled back 3%, his account was wiped out. I checked his trading details—entered with 9,500 USDT full position, no stop-loss set. The most frustrating part is he left a comment saying that leverage trading is just cutting leeks.

Here’s a clarification of a common misconception: many think full position can withstand more drops, but actually, the opposite is true. Using full position incorrectly can lead to quicker ruin than isolated positions.

Looking at the data makes it clear—
With 1,000 USDT capital, using 900 USDT to open a 10x position: a 5% adverse move leads to liquidation.
With 1,000 USDT capital, using 100 USDT to open a 10x position: a 50% adverse move leads to liquidation.

Same 10x leverage, same 1,000 USDT capital, why does one get wiped out instantly while the other can still continue? It’s not about the market, but about position management discipline.

Having traded derivatives for many years myself, I rely on these three iron rules:

**First: No single position exceeds 20% of total capital**

Suppose your account has 100,000 USDT, and each trade limits to 20,000 USDT. That way, if the market moves against you, a 10% stop-loss only costs 2,000 USDT, leaving your principal intact and giving you a chance to turn things around. If you invest 80,000 at once, a single stop-loss wipes you out completely.

**Second: Max loss per trade ≤ 3% of total capital**

Using 20,000 USDT to open a position, set a stop-loss to limit loss to 300 USDT. Even if you make three consecutive mistakes, you only lose 900 USDT, leaving over 99,000 USDT. This keeps your mindset stable and prevents emotional trading.

**Third: Only trade breakouts, firmly reject churning in sideways markets**

Want to add more when you make money? Don’t. When emotions take over, just close your trading app. It’s less exciting but keeps you alive.

These three rules may seem conservative, but they actually leave room for error.

I once mentored a friend who kept getting wiped out every month. After applying this method, his rhythm changed—within three months, a 5,000 USDT account grew to 30,000 USDT. He later told me, “I used to think full position was gambling, but now I realize, full position is actually about staying safer.”

The rules of crypto are brutal: it’s not about who makes the most in one shot, but who survives the longest. Stop guessing market ups and downs, focus on position management—seems slow, but it’s the fastest way to grow.
