At two in the morning, a guy from Hunan called me, his voice trembling:
Mr. Chen, I went long with 10,000 U at 30x. It only dropped 3%—how did I get wiped out?
$BTC I checked the trade history: he’d put all 9,500 in, without even setting a stop-loss.
A lot of people think they can handle going all-in, but if you don’t know how to manage it, you’ll get wiped out even faster. Liquidation isn’t about how high your leverage is—it’s about how oversized your position is. If you use 9,500 of your 10,000 U to open a trade, one small move against you can wipe you out. But if you use just 1,000 U, the market would have to fall 50% to liquidate you. Those are completely different situations.
I’ve traded all-in for six months without getting liquidated and doubled my money. I stuck to just three rules:
1. Never risk more than 20% of your total funds on a single trade. With 10,000 U, invest no more than 2,000. If you’re wrong and your stop-loss is 10%, you’ll only lose 200—not enough to cripple you. $AIN
2. Cap each loss at 3% of your total account. Open a 2,000 U position at 10x and set a 1.5% stop-loss in advance. A 300 loss is exactly 3% of your account, so you can handle getting it wrong several times.
3. Don’t trade in a choppy market, and don’t chase profits. Only enter when the price breaks through a trend level. No matter how tempting a sideways market looks, stay out. Once you’re in, don’t add to your position just because the price is rising. Timing is everything.
Going all-in is meant to give you room for error, not to make you gamble with your life.
I used to have followers getting liquidated every month. One followed these three rules, and in three months grew 5,000 to 8,000. He said he used to think going all-in was gambling. Now he gets it—used properly, it’s actually steadier. $ONE
In the market, staying in the game matters more than making quick money. Bet less on direction and manage your position size. Slow is fast.
If you can’t keep your hands off the controls, here’s the path. Just follow it.
