Many traders start with full position mode, thinking that this can withstand fluctuations and prevent liquidation. But many treat it as a talisman for increasing positions at will—that's the real trap.

Using full position with 10x leverage, when facing a counter-trend market, it won't make you lose less money; it will only wipe out your account instantly.

I've seen too many cases: an account with $5,000, putting in $4,800 all at once to gamble on short-term direction. When the market slightly shakes, a liquidation notice arrives, leaving no chance to breathe.

What is the meaning of full position? It’s to give you room to maneuver when the market is unfavorable, not to gamble your life on it.

The same 10x leverage, some people cut losses quickly after a small loss, while others hold on until liquidation— the difference lies entirely in how the position is allocated.

For example: an account has $1,000, using $100 to open a 50x position, if the side is wrong, accept the loss and exit, leaving $900 to continue fighting; but if you put the $900 into a 10x position, a slight market shake could wipe you out.

Don't always ask, “How many times leverage is safe?” Instead, think about: How much of the position is used? Is the stop-loss set? If the side is wrong, can you hold?

I still use full position mode, but I follow three iron rules that I never break:

1. Single position does not exceed 20% of the total account funds
2. Stop-loss strictly controlled within 3% of the principal
3. During sideways markets, avoid reckless operations and impulsive increases in position

To survive in Futures, it’s not about avoiding risk but managing risk.

Full position is never a reason to go all-in; it’s a tool to help you handle fluctuations more calmly.
