Many say:
"Don't trade with leverage — it's too risky."
But in reality, it's not about the leverage.
The problem lies in how and where you use it.
⚙️ Why is leverage needed at all?
It turns small price movements into tangible profits.
For example: a 0.2% movement with 20x leverage = +4% profit.
Now ask yourself:
Where do such small movements occur most often?
→ At low timeframes (1m-5m).
📉 Why leverage doesn't mix well with high timeframes:
Wide stops = large losses
On H1 or H4, the stop can be 1-3%. With 10x leverage, this is already a 10-30% loss for a single trade.Trades last longer
This means — higher risk of news, gaps, and slippage.
✅ Why leverage is exposed at low timeframes (1m-5m):
Narrow stops = low risk
Stops at 0.1-0.3% provide flexibility. Even with 20x, you risk only 2-6%.Quick trades = quick feedback
Scalping allows you to learn and adapt quickly. You don't wait days to understand if a trade was successful.Small movements become profitable
Without leverage, a 0.2% movement is dust. With leverage — a full opportunity. And there can be dozens of such opportunities in a day.
🧠 Why most people lose their deposits:
Trade with 50x+ without a clear strategy
Don't set stop-losses
Enter based on emotions
Apply leverage to long-term positions
It's not the leverage that's to blame.
The fault lies in its reckless application.
🔥 How to use leverage wisely:
Work on 1m-5m charts
Set stops at 0.1-0.3%
Use leverage of 10x-30x
Risk no more than 1% per trade
Act according to a clear, proven strategy
📌 The main point:
Stop using 20x on swing trades and hoping for miracles.
Start scalping wisely.
Leverage is a professional tool, not a 'Gambling' button.
