Leverage is a mirror that reveals the truth. You think it's amplifying profits, but what it actually amplifies first is your ignorance, greed, and luck.
Many beginners enter the market with their eyes fixed on 20x, 50x, 100x. They believe that the higher the multiple, the faster they can turn things around.
But the reality is — 3-5 times is already sufficient for beginners.
You can make money, and you can make mistakes; if you go in the wrong direction, there is still a way out.
But anything above 10 times is never meant for those who just want to "try it out,"
that is a tool used by professional players who have a very clear understanding of the rules and have calculated the risks precisely.
Let alone 100 times.
Many people have never calculated: with 100 times leverage,
if the market fluctuates by 1%, the account gets liquidated directly,
and there isn't even time to hit the stop-loss button.
That is not trading; it is like pressing a timed bomb.
But what truly determines life and death is not leverage,
but position size.
I have seen too many people whose multiples are not outrageous,
but they die on one word: heavy.
