You've heard it a million times:
> โNever trade with leverage. Itโs too risky.โ โ
But James Wynn dropped the truth bomb:
๐ฅ Leverage isn't the problem โ your timeframe is.
Letโs break it down ๐
๐ง What Is Leverage Actually For?
Leverage turns tiny market moves into real profits.
Example: A 0.2% move with 20x leverage = 4% return ๐๐ธ
So... where do tiny price moves happen constantly?
โก๏ธ On the 1-minute or 5-minute charts.
โ Why You FAIL Using Leverage on Higher Timeframes
๐ฅ 1โ3% Stop Losses = 10x leverage = 10%โ30% loss per trade
๐ฐ๏ธ Trades last hours/days = more exposure to risk (news, slippage, etc.)
๐ฃ One mistake = BOOM, account gone
โ Why Small Timeframes + Leverage = POWER
โก Tighter Stops = Lower risk (0.1%โ0.3%)
๐ Faster Trades = Faster feedback, quicker recovery
๐ฐ Micro Profits Matter = 0.2% moves become worth trading
๐ More Setups = More chances to win every day
๐ต So Why Do Most Traders STILL Blow Up?
Because they:
โ Use 50xโ100x without a plan
โ Trade emotionally
โ Skip stop losses
โ Use leverage on swing trades and get wrecked
๐งจ Leverage isnโt the danger โ reckless use is.
๐ How to Make Leverage Work FOR You
1๏ธโฃ Trade ONLY on 1mโ5m charts
2๏ธโฃ Tight SL (0.1%โ0.3%)
3๏ธโฃ Use 10xโ30x leverage
4๏ธโฃ Risk only 1% per trade
5๏ธโฃ Follow a consistent, proven strategy ๐
๐ Final Words of Wisdom:
๐ก Leverage works.
๐ก Small timeframes work.
๐ฅ But they only work together when used smartly.
โ Stop swing trading with 20x and crying when you're stopped out.
โ Start scalping like a sniper โ and let leverage multiply your precision. ๐ฏ
