#PIXDL Last night around two o'clock, a brother suddenly sent me a voice message, his voice was trembling.

He said he opened a 30x leverage position with 10,000 U, and the market only retraced less than 3%, and his account blew up directly, asking me what went wrong.

I asked him to send over his trading records, and it was clear at a glance—

He had almost all his funds, 9,500 U, opened in a single position, and he didn't even set a stop-loss.

Many people actually get one thing wrong:

A blown account is often not because of too high leverage, but because of too heavy a position.

Think about it, with the same 10,000 U capital:

If you open a position with 9,500 U, even a small fluctuation could wipe you out;

But if you only use 1,000 U to enter the market, the price would have to fluctuate significantly in the opposite direction to hurt the account.

I myself often trade using a full position model, but after more than half a year, I have never blown an account, and my account has actually doubled. It's not luck; I just stick to a few very simple rules.

First, a single position should not exceed 20% of the capital.

For a 10,000 U account, at most use 2,000 U at a time.

Even if the judgment is wrong with a stop-loss of 10%, it's just a small loss and won't break the bones.

Second, keep each loss within 3% of the total capital.

For example, if I open a position with 2,000 U, I usually set the stop-loss in advance at about 1.5%.

Even if I make a few wrong moves in a row, the account can still hold up.

Third, avoid trading in volatile markets, and don't casually increase positions when profitable.

I basically only trade clear breakout points; I don't participate in sideways markets no matter how lively they are.

Once the order is placed, I execute according to the plan and do not struggle with emotions.

Many people think that "full position" is a gamble, but in fact, it's just the opposite.

True full position is leaving yourself room for error.

There was a fan from Chengdu who used to blow up his account several times a month. Later, by gradually implementing these three rules, he grew his 5,000 U to 8,000 U in three months. He himself said that trading used to feel like gambling, but now he realizes it was a matter of position.

In this market, what's most important is not how much you earn in one or two instances,

but whether your account can survive continuously.

Stop always thinking about betting on direction; first, control your position well.

Many times, going slower can actually take you further.
