šØ Leverage isnāt the enemy, and liquidation price is often overhyped.
Most traders misunderstand what really matters in contract trading.
š For example: āIs 10x on $1,000 riskier than 5x on $2,000?ā
Both positions control $10,000, but focusing only on the liquidation price misses the point.
New traders often worry about leverage, thinking higher leverage is always riskier because the liquidation price is closerāthis isnāt the real issue.
The real danger comes from poor risk management and skipping stop-losses, not the leverage itself.
š” High leverage wonāt wreck your accountābad habits will, like opening a 50x trade and then just hoping for the best. Thatās gambling, not trading.
Smart traders use higher leverage with strict stop-losses, so liquidation isnāt even a concernāthey never let it get that far.
Hereās the tough truth:
If you canāt make steady profits trading spot, using contracts will likely drain your account even faster.
Many beginners ask, āHow do I turn $200 into $2,000 quickly?āāand usually end up losing it all in minutes.
ā Start with spot trading, learn candlestick patterns, and manage your position sizes.
Only try contracts with profitsānot your main capital.
š Bottom line:
Leverage is just a tool. Used with discipline, it can build wealth. Used carelessly, it destroys accounts.
Smart traders focus on risk control; beginners chase dreams and get liquidated.
