Last night, a little after 2 a.m., a brother sent me a voice message. His voice was already a bit off.

He said he had $8,000 in principal, went long with 30x leverage, and when the market pulled back by a few percentage points, the account was gone immediately. He asked me what exactly went wrong.
I went through his records—actually, one sentence can explain it all:
Over $7,000, and he went all-in in one shot. A stop-loss? Doesn’t exist.
In plain terms, this kind of trade isn’t trading—it’s gambling for your life.
A lot of people keep getting one thing wrong: they think liquidation is the fault of leverage.
But it’s not. Leverage is just a tool. What really kills you is losing control of your position.
With the same $8,000, if you use $1,500 to trade, and you’re wrong on direction, there’s still room to adjust.
But if you put everything in at once, the market only needs a little normal fluctuation, and you’re done—taken out.
After doing this for years, I’ve become more and more convinced of one thing:
Position decides whether you can survive, and direction decides how much you earn. $TAC
My own style is actually pretty “rigid,” even a little boring:
First, per-trade position size never exceeds 20% of total funds. If I say it’s 20%, then it’s 20%—no exceptions.
Second, before entering, I set the stop-loss in stone. I can accept losing a certain amount—that’s agreed in advance, no last-minute changes.
Third, if the trend isn’t clear, I don’t trade. In a ranging market, I’d rather sit there and do nothing than reach out randomly.
Earlier, there was a follower who, when he had $5,000, basically made one trade and lost one trade—blowing up repeatedly.
Later, he forced his position size down, set the rules in stone, and after a few months of slowly grinding, he finally worked his way up to more than $8,000. At least he wasn’t going to zero anymore.
Many people think being fully loaded is courage, it’s grit.
But that’s not it. Going full position is gambling—gambling on when you’ll get eliminated. $EVAA
The most realistic thing in crypto is this:
The market never lacks opportunities, but your principal won’t always be there.
Surviving comes first. That matters more than anything.
