⚡ Leverage is powerful — but uncontrolled power can destroy you.
Before you open a high-leverage trade, read this.
📌 What Is Leverage?
Leverage = Borrowing funds to amplify your position.
• $100 x 10x leverage → Control $1,000
• Sounds great? It cuts both ways.
• Profits and losses are multiplied.
💣 Why Most Traders Get Liquidated
• Retail traders go 50x–100x 🚀
• Tiny move against them = Instant liquidation 💥
• Game over in seconds.
Reminder:
👉 Leverage is a weapon.
👉 Used wrong = Backfires hard.
✅ How to Use Leverage the Smart Way
1️⃣ Use Low Leverage (1x–5x Max)
🎯 Smart traders stick to 2x–3x.
• More room for volatility.
• Lower risk of liquidation.
2️⃣ Always Set a Stop Loss
No stop = Gambling.
Protect your capital like it’s sacred. 🛡️
3️⃣ Know Your Liquidation Price
Before entering:
• Check your entry price.
• Check your leverage.
• Know exactly when you’ll be liquidated.
⚠️ If liquidation is too close — walk away.
4️⃣ Risk Only 1–2% per Trade
One bad trade shouldn’t kill your portfolio.
Small risk = Long-term survival.
5️⃣ Only Use Leverage on Strong Setups
Avoid using leverage when:
• The trend is unclear
• The market is choppy
• You’re unsure
🧠 Save it for high-confidence, high-conviction entries.
💡 Bonus: How Pros Use Leverage for Swing Trades
• Mark strong support/resistance zones
• Wait for confirmation (volume, candle close)
• Use 2x–4x leverage max
• Take partial profits early
• Defend your stop loss (never move it wider)
🧘♂️ Final Reminder: Leverage is a Tool, Not a Toy
If you’re new, forget 10x+ leverage for now.
• Master risk management first.
• Control emotions.
• Build discipline.
👉 Leverage should enhance good trades — not rescue bad ones.
