Do you think getting liquidated is due to sudden market changes? Wrong! It's because you pressed the "self-destruct button" yourself. After reading this, you'll realize that all your past actions were actively seeking death.


1. Leverage is not the killer, the position is.
Fatal Misconception: "100x Leverage = High Risk"
Truth: 100x leverage + 1% position = actual risk = 1x leverage full position
Case: A professional trader uses 50x leverage, but the position size is ≤0.5%. For three consecutive years, there has been no Get Liquidated, and the annualized return exceeds 300%.
2. Stop-loss is not a defeat, but a 'resurrection armor'.
In the 2024 May 19 crash, the common point of 83% of the liquidated accounts: a loss of over 10% but still holding on.
Single loss ≤ 1% of principal (institutional standard), equivalent to equipping the account with a "blast shield".
3. Profit without increasing position = working hard for nothing
Wrong operation: ran away after making a profit, resulting in missing a 10x market.
Correct Strategy:
First position 5% (trial and error)
Every time you profit by 10%, use 20% of the profit to increase your position (compound interest snowball).
Case Study: In 2024, the SOL market, turning a principal of 50,000 into 500,000 in just 2 months.
Institutional-level risk control model (internal outflow of private equity)
1. Dynamic Position Calculation Formula
Maximum Position = (Principal × 1%) / (Stop Loss Margin × Leverage Multiplier)
Example: 100,000 principal, 1% stop loss, 20 times leverage → Maximum position = 1,000 yuan
2. Three-stage Take Profit Method (Maximize Profits)
① Profit 15% → Close position 30% (Lock in profits)
② Profit 30% → Rebalance 30% (reduce risk)
③ Remaining Position → Move Take Profit (Exit if it falls below 4-hour EMA)
3. Hedging Insurance Strategy
Use 0.5% of the principal to buy Put options when holding positions (extreme market conditions can recover 50% of losses)
April 2024 Black Swan, this strategy helped a major account avoid 2 million Get Liquidated.
The 3 behaviors with the highest probability of getting liquidated (Have you fallen for it?)
"Hold on a little longer" type → Holding a position for 4 hours, Get Liquidated probability skyrockets to 92%
"Frequent Trading" type → Average monthly transactions of 100 times, with fees consuming 20% of the principal.
"I want to earn more" type → 83% of accounts experience losses due to greed, resulting in profit giving back.
The essence of trading: a mathematical game, not gambling.
Profit Formula:
Expected Value = (Win Rate × Average Profit) - (Loss Rate × Average Loss)
If you can do it:
Stop loss 1%, take profit 10%
A win rate of only 25% can achieve stable profits.
Professional Trader Secrets:
Single Loss ≤ 1%
Annual trades ≤ 15 times (waiting for a big opportunity)
Profit and Loss Ratio ≥ 5:1
Ultimate Survival Rule
Each loss ≤ 1% (absolute red line)
70% of the time, stay in cash (patiently wait for opportunities)
Only engage in high risk-reward ratio trades (no regrets if missed)
The market does not reward diligent people, but rather those who know how to wait. Establish a mechanical trading system that allows rules to replace emotions, and you can truly break free from the Get Liquidated curse.

I was wrong and I won't dare to use 75x leverage again. Opening leverage higher than 10x shows my distrust in this market. I have already stopped at 40 Get Liquidated.

With what you said, is there any formula left? Why don't you engage in quantitative trading?
