At two in the morning, a friend from Zhejiang asked me tremblingly:

"Brother Mao, Brother Mao, I went all-in with 10,000 U and used over 30x leverage, and it only dropped 3%—why did I get liquidated?"
I looked at his record, and he had put all 9,500 U in, without setting any stop-loss.
Many people think "full position" means you can hold on.
Actually, using full leverage poorly can get you killed faster than partial positions. $RAVE
The key to liquidation often isn't the leverage level, but the size of the position. $MYX
You might think:
With a 10,000 U account, using 9,500 U to open a position,
a slight reverse fluctuation can wipe you out.
But if you only use 1,000 U to open,
then the price would have to fluctuate 50% to liquidate—you’re talking about a completely different concept. $RIVER
I’ve used full leverage for over half a year without liquidation, and I even doubled my money, relying on three principles:
First: Never risk more than 20% of total funds in a single trade
For a 10,000 U account, invest at most 2,000 U at a time.
Even if you pick the wrong side and set a 10% stop-loss, you only lose 200 U, which doesn’t hurt your core capital.
Second: Never lose more than 3% of total funds in a single loss
For example, using 2,000 U with 10x leverage, set a 1.5% stop-loss in advance,
a loss of 300 U, exactly 3% of total funds.
Even if you make a few wrong calls, your account can still withstand it.
Third: Don’t open positions in choppy markets, and don’t add after profits
I only trade at clear breakout points in a trend, and I don’t touch sideways markets, no matter how tempting.
After opening a position, never add more just because the price rises—maintaining discipline is most important.
The original purpose of full leverage design is to give you room for error,
not to gamble your life on it.
There was a fan who kept getting liquidated every month, but after following these three rules,
he turned 5,000 U into 8,000 U in three months.
He said: “I used to think full leverage was gambling, but now I understand
that using full leverage correctly is about staying safer.”
In this market,
surviving is always more important than making quick money.
Bet less on the direction, control your position size more.
Slow is fast.
If you always can’t control yourself,
the light is actually right in front of you,
it’s just whether you can follow it.
