#数字资产市场动态 Receiving an emergency alert at 2 a.m.: a trader hurriedly said, "My account with 6000U full margin at 3x leverage went long, only a 1.5% pullback, and the money was gone. I clearly set a stop-loss, why didn't it work?" When checking the trading records, I saw a 5500U all-in bet, with a market order for the stop-loss—during a sharp decline, slippage directly penetrated the margin, and the account was wiped out instantly.

How many people truly understand the combination of "full margin + stop-loss"? Actually, it's a vicious cycle. Full margin with leverage, where losses are not linear but exponentially amplified.

Let's do some quick calculations based on the above case: a 6000U account fully invested with 5500U, using 3x leverage, results in a position worth 16500U. A 1.5% market move against the position causes a loss of 16500U×1.5%≈247.5U. But that's not the worst—what really kills is slippage. Market stop-loss orders are almost useless in extreme conditions because the execution price often far exceeds your expected stop-loss point. Under 3x leverage, the price would need to move 33.3% against you to trigger a margin call, but slippage could consume all your margin within a 1.5% move.

Let's look at trading risks from another perspective:

**First tip: Keep individual positions below 20%**
For a 10,000U account, invest no more than 2,000U per trade. Even if that trade loses 10%, the loss is only 200U, which won't seriously damage the principal.

**Second tip: Limit single-loss to 2%**
With 2,000U and 3x leverage, set the stop-loss at about 0.67% (200U ÷ 2000U ÷ 3 ≈ 0.67%), providing enough buffer to withstand slippage.

**Third tip: Only take trend-confirmed trades**
Avoid sideways markets; wait for clear signals like moving average bullish alignment + volume breakout before entering. After entering, don't chase positions—locking in profits is the real key.

There was a trader who kept blowing up his account every month, but after adopting this method, he went from 4,000U to 12,000U in three months. He later said, "Full margin isn't gambling with your life; it's about small positions for error tolerance + clear bookkeeping for steady gains." The difference lies in taking every trade seriously, managing risks properly, and leveraging trading effectively. Otherwise, no matter how good the stop-loss is, it won't save an account with chaotic position management.
