Last night I received a voice message from a friend in Jiangxi, and his tone was especially urgent.


He said he went all-in with 10x leverage on a long position with 10,000 U, and after only a 3% pullback, the money was gone.
I checked his trading record: he put 9,500 U all-in and rushed in, without even setting a stop-loss.
A lot of people think going all-in means they can “hold it,” but the opposite is true—going all-in, if you use it poorly, dies faster than isolated margin. $RIVER
The key to an all-in liquidation usually isn’t the leverage multiple—it’s that your position size is too heavy.
Take a 1,000 U account: if you use 900 U with 10x, a 5% adverse move wipes it out instantly.
But if you only use 100 U with 10x, you need a 50% move against you for it to get liquidated. $PIPPIN
That friend essentially staked almost all his principal, and with just a slight pullback, the account went to zero.
And I’ve used all-in for half a year without ever getting liquidated and even doubled—thanks to a few principles.
Per trade, never exceed 20% of total funds.
For a 10,000 U account, you put in at most 2,000 U per trade.
Even if you misread the direction and place a stop-loss at 10%, the loss would be only 200 U—doesn’t hurt the root, and you can always start over.
Single-trade losses never exceed 3% of total position.
For example, with 2,000 U at 10x, set a stop-loss of 1.5 in advance; losing 300 U is exactly 3% of total funds. Even if you get it wrong several times in a row, it won’t hurt your core.
In a ranging market, never open a position. Even if the profit looks tempting, just watch and don’t move; after opening, no matter whether price goes up or down, never add on impulsively.
The real purpose of using all-in is to give yourself room for error—not to gamble.
Previously, a follower blew up every month; after following these rules, in three months he rolled from 5,000 U to 8,000 U.

He said he used to think all-in was gambling with your life, but now he understands: all-in is to live more steadily.
In the crypto market, it’s not about who makes money faster—it’s about who can live longer.
Stop betting on direction—control your position size instead. Slow is fast.
