#2026年比特币价格展望 Newcomers to contract trading often react with "go all-in"—the reasoning sounds plausible: "This way I can withstand volatility and look more stable."

It sounds reasonable, but here’s the hidden trap.

Going all-in is not your safety net. Let alone using it as an excuse for heavy leverage.

High leverage combined with an all-in position, when the market suddenly reverses, it’s not just a small loss—your account gets wiped out.

I’ve seen too many cases. One guy had $5,000 in his account, thought going all-in was safe, and used $4,000 to make a short-term trade. The market flickered, and he didn’t even have time to react—liquidated immediately.

The real purpose of going all-in is to give you room to operate, not a license to leverage heavily.

With the same 10x leverage, how big can the difference be?

Some only risk 10% of their position, cut losses when they’re wrong, and their account remains intact.

Others move 90% of their position up, leverage looks low on the surface, but a single market reversal can wipe them out entirely.

Look at some specific numbers:

An account with $1,000, using $100 to open a 50x position—if wrong, stop loss immediately, and the account stays healthy.

An account with $1,000, using $900 to open a 10x position—leverage appears low, but one reversal can completely wipe you out.

So the question isn’t "Is leverage safe?" but three honest questions you need to ask yourself:

How much of your total funds are you risking on this trade? (It’s recommended to stick to a 20% cap)

Have you set your stop-loss level? (Must do. Set it in advance. No negotiations.)

If the market reverses, can you handle the loss? (Limit single trade losses to within 3% of your total funds)

I also use the all-in mode now, but only with one strict rule: survive first, everything else comes second. Position management is the top priority. Think this through, and only then can trading be sustainable in the long run.
