"Just a little drop, why is the principal completely gone?"

Looking at the screenshot—full position with 20x leverage, no stop-loss set. This isn't called being cut, it's like taking a sickle and cutting yourself.

Having been in the crypto world for years, I've seen too many stories like this. Many people go all-in with their entire holdings, but few survive. The problem isn't the full position itself; it's using the full position to gamble with your life.

I also use full positions myself, but in a completely different way. In the past six months, my principal doubled, relying on three strict rules.

**Rule 1: Limit single position to within 15% of total funds**

100,000 capital? Invest no more than 15,000 at a time. Even if you lose that 15,000 completely, you only lose 15% of your total capital, leaving enough bullets to continue participating. This setup means you can make six mistakes in a row without going bankrupt. Opponents can make mistakes, and so can you—it's about who can survive until the end.

**Rule 2: Set a stop-loss at within 2% of account loss per trade**

For a 15,000 position, set a 300-dollar stop-loss. Be decisive when pulling the trigger—don't be soft. After five mistakes, only 9,700 remains in the account. Most people's problem is here—not poor judgment, but poor execution. They see a mistake but are reluctant to stop-loss, turning small losses into big ones.

**Rule 3: Observe during consolidation, act only after breakout; lock in profits with trailing stop-loss**

During sideways consolidation, the urge to trade is strong. The best move is to do nothing. The real opportunity comes at the breakout. After capturing profits, set a trailing stop-loss and don't add to the position. Greedy adding often leads to liquidation night.

I have a friend, Ah Jun, who used to blow up his account every month, living like in hell during that time. Later, he strictly followed these three rules. Starting with 3,000 yuan, it took three months to grow to 5,800 yuan. The maximum drawdown during the whole process was only 1.8%—that’s the power of risk management.

The core competition in the crypto market isn't who makes money the fastest, but who survives the longest. Once your position gets out of control, you're out. Keep your position in check, and you stay at the table, with a chance to turn things around.

Can't sleep? Turn off the trading app and go to bed. When you wake up, if your principal is still intact in the account, you've already won more than most people.

The market is brewing, and there will be opportunities in this cycle. The key is to wait with enough capital, not to stumble around blindly in the dark.
