Don't remind me again today

#美国ADP就业数据表现超出市场预期 was woken up in the middle of the night by news bombardment, another account dropped to zero.



Woken up in the early morning by a WeChat message. I opened it to see a girl on the other end of the video with red and swollen eyes:

"Teacher, my 6000 dollars are gone... I was fully invested with 5x leverage, and it dropped by 3 points, how did my account drop to zero?"

Let her take a screenshot and send the transaction record - 5800U all in, stop loss? Not a chance.

Many people think that a full position equals high efficiency, but is that really the case?

Having a full position is like driving without a seatbelt; a sudden brake and a person flies out. The issue of liquidation is really not about high leverage, but rather about having too heavy a position.

Let me do some calculations for you:
With the same principal of 800U, using 750U for full margin at 5x, a reverse fluctuation of 6% means Game Over;
But if you use only 75U with 5x leverage, it would require a fluctuation of 86.7% to completely wipe out this portion—risk tolerance is directly reduced by more than 12 times.

She used 96.7% of her principal on that order, and with 5x leverage, she can't withstand even a slight pullback. This isn't trading; this is gambling with her life.

This year I have also paid quite a bit of tuition and slowly figured out three survival skills. My account not only didn't lose money, but has also steadily increased by nearly 80%:

**First move: Do not exceed 7% of total funds for a single opening**
An account with 6000U can open up to 420U at once. Even if encountering a 7% stop-loss, it would only lose 29.4U, which won't hurt much.

**Second Tip: Keep Single Loss Within 1.1% of Total Capital**
Open 5x leverage with 420U, set a 1% stop-loss in advance, with an actual loss of 8.4U, accounting for 1.1% of total funds. Cut it if necessary, don't feel sorry.

**Third tactic: If you don't understand the market, stay in cash and wait**
Don't increase your investment just because you've made money; only act when the trend is clear—such as when the daily line breaks a key level with accompanying trading volume, that's when to enter.

I had a friend who would get liquidated every month. After using this strategy, he went from 3200U to 55000U in four months.

He later told me: "I used to think that being fully invested was about luck, but now I understand that true full investment is to live longer."

The market won't give opportunities just because you're anxious. Slow down, be steady, and surviving is more important than anything.

I was still saying I was bearish last night, and smiling, I just got liquidated.

Full position all-in is not as good as staying out of the market and waiting for the bottom.
