#BinanceABCs "Trading Survival Rules ②" Position management determines whether you can survive to the bull run.



The most heartbreaking truth in the crypto world is as follows —

Misreading the market? Not a big deal.

A position failure? That's what we call deadly.

What truly makes a trading account "disappear" is not a misjudgment of direction, but rather the heavy Position taken in a moment of impulse.

**Why do accounts with massive losses share the same characteristic?**

If you look back at those huge loss orders yourself, you will find that they all almost fell into the same pit -

👉 Position has severely exceeded rational levels.

Common ways to die are like this:

Confidently thinking "this wave is stable" → Throwing in a heavy Position or using leverage → Market fluctuations → Mental explosion holding the position → Losses getting bigger the longer you hold on.

Ironically, the market itself is not wrong; it is your Position that has betrayed you first.

**Why do those long-term active traders always "tread lightly"?**

It's not that they don't have confidence in the market; on the contrary - it's precisely because they understand the market's temperament too well:

👉 Any transaction may hit a pitfall.

So their position logic is simple and straightforward:

• Control the maximum loss of a single transaction to 1%-2% of the total capital.
• Even if losses occur consecutively, the pressure on the account remains within a controllable range.
• Always keep the "comeback" ammunition.

📌 Position is essentially a form of respect for market uncertainty.

**Three Psychological Traps Easy to Fall Into When in a Heavy Position**

① Trap One: "This time it's really different"
The market never cared where your confidence comes from.

② Trap Two: "It's just a pullback, it will bounce back soon"
A pullback is often the moment when the trend truly begins.

③ Trap Three: "Don't cut the meat, just bear with it and it will pass"
The real trend market is best at crushing the "holding position faith".

**Three Practical Position Bottom Lines (Just Remember These)**

① Single transaction worst-case loss ≤ 2% of total funds
What is being referred to here is not the size of the Position, but the actual extent of the loss.

② Always leave more than 50% of available funds.
This is your last line of defense against extreme market fluctuations.

The heavier the Position, the longer the holding period must be.
Short-term heavy Position is equivalent to gambling.

**Why is Position worth more than your technical analysis?**

The technical judgment was wrong, you can review and analyze, and improve next time.

Position management went wrong? You might be directly eliminated, with no chance to review.

📌 The ones who can truly see the next round of market trends are not because of their strong predictive abilities, but because they have never been kicked out of the game in advance.

📌 One sentence summary

Position is not meant to make big money; it's meant to survive. $BTC $ETH
BTC-4,2%
ETH-9,81%

That's really incredible; going all-in can really push someone out of the game.

It's the same old story... but it really hit home; only after getting liquidated three times did I truly understand that this principle is indeed expensive.

It's too heart-wrenching to hear; how many people have fallen for the phrase "this wave is stable."

It hurts... This is why I'm still alive now, while others' accounts have already been cleared.

Indeed, a single Heavy Position can make you exit the market permanently, no matter how good the technology is.

Wow, this article makes a lot of sense. My previous Get Liquidated happened just like this. I was fully confident and leveraged up, but ended up getting directly liquidated.

Oh my, this is the true essence of trading. My buddies who got liquidated before had the same problem... Heavy position feels great for a moment, but the account turns into a crematorium.

It's this theory again... But to be honest, it hurts. My orders that got liquidated are indeed the result of heavy positions.
