"I operate with full position, why am I still losing everything?"

After looking at his trading records, I finally understood—an account of 10,000U, used 9,500U to open a 10x long position, and didn't even set a stop-loss. When the market retraced 3%, the account was instantly wiped out.

Many people misunderstand one thing: thinking that full position equals strong risk resistance. In fact, it's a double-edged sword. Used correctly, it can keep you flexible amid volatility; used wrongly, it can lead to quicker ruin.

**Why is full position trading prone to liquidation?**

The issue isn't the leverage itself, but the position size. For example, with a 1,000U account, if you use 900U to open a 10x leverage position, a 5% adverse move can directly liquidate you; but if you use 100U with 10x leverage, you'd need a 50% move to be wiped out. My friend put 95% of his funds into a position—even with 10x leverage, he couldn't withstand even a slight market move.

**How to trade with full position without getting liquidated?**

I stick to three bottom lines, and over half a year, I haven't been liquidated, and my account has doubled.

**First: Limit each trade to within 20% of total funds.** For example, with a 10,000U account, use at most 2,000U per trade. Even if you pick the wrong direction and get stopped out with a 10% loss, that's only 200U—nothing serious.

**Second: Limit single-loss to 3%.** With 2,000U at 10x leverage, pre-calculate your stop-loss point; allowing a maximum of 1.5% move means a loss of 300U, exactly 3% of total funds.

**Third: Don't trade in choppy markets, and don't add to winning positions.** Only enter when the trend is clear; during sideways movement, wait patiently. Even after entering, avoid greedily adding to positions—emotions can ruin your rhythm.

**What is the essence of full position trading?**

Honestly, the original purpose of full position isn't to gamble on the direction, but to leave room for adjustment during market fluctuations. The core idea is light position sizing for trial and error, combined with strict risk control.

A fan used to blow up his account every month, but later switched to 20% position size with 3% stop-loss. In three months, he went from 5,000U to 8,000U. He later reflected: "Full position was originally meant for steady gains, not as a gambling tool to chase bigger profits."

In the end, whether full or incremental positions are just tools. The real way to make money is through scientific position management. Control your position size, and you'll survive longer in this market.
