You’re Using Leverage Wrong — Here’s Why 😎
Most say: “Never use leverage, it’s too risky.”
Truth: Leverage isn’t the problem. Your timeframe is.
🔍 What Leverage Does
Turns small moves into real profit.
Ex: 0.2% move × 20x = 4% return.
These tiny moves? Most common on 1m–5m charts.
❌ Why Leverage Fails on Higher Timeframes
Wider stops (1–3%) = bigger losses
Longer exposure = more risk (overnight, news, slippage)
✅ Why It Works on Lower Timeframes
Tight stops (0.1–0.3%) = lower risk
Fast trades = fast feedback, fast compounding
Micro profits amplified by leverage
💥 Why People Still Blow Up
Using 50x–100x blindly
No stop loss
Swing trading with leverage
Emotional trades
🧠 The Formula for Safe Leverage
1. Use 1m–5m charts
2. Tight stops
3. 10x–30x max
4. Risk 1% per trade
5. Stick to a system
Leverage isn’t dangerous. Bad strategy is.
Master scalping first — then scale it with leverage.
