🔍 Why Leverage is a SCALPER’S Weapon (And You’re Wielding It Wrong)**
Most traders **blow accounts** because they **misuse leverage**—treating it like a lottery ticket instead of a **precision tool**. Here’s how to **actually** profit from it.

### **⚡ The Leverage Paradox**
**❌ What Most Do:**
- Use **50x on 4H charts** → Stop loss = **20%+ account risk**
- Hold leveraged positions **overnight** → Get wrecked by gaps
- Trade **without a strategy** → Lose fast, blame leverage
**✅ What Pros Do:**
- **1m–5m charts only** → Small moves, tight stops
- **10x–30x max** → Amplify micro-moves, not gamble
- **Risk 0.5–1% per trade** → Survive 100+ trades

### **📉 Why High Timeframes + Leverage = Disaster**
1️⃣ **Wider Stops** → A 1% stop at **20x = 20% loss**
2️⃣ **Overnight Risk** → News, gaps, liquidity dumps
3️⃣ **Slow Feedback** → Lose money for **days** before realizing your edge sucks
---
### **🚀 Why Low Timeframes + Leverage = Edge**
1️⃣ **Tight Stops (0.1–0.3%)** → **20x leverage = 2–6% gain** per scalp
2️⃣ **Fast Execution** → In & out in **minutes**, no overnight risk
3️⃣ **Repeatable** → 10+ trades/day compound gains

### **💥 The Scalper’s Leverage Formula**
✔ **Timeframe:** **1m–5m only** (No swing trades!)
✔ **Leverage:** **10x–30x** (Enough to matter, not enough to nuke you)
✔ **Stop Loss:** **0.1–0.3%** (Tighter = better)
✔ **Risk Per Trade:** **≤1%** (Preserve capital)
✔ **Strategy Required** → **No random entries!**

### **🧠 The Brutal Truth**
- **Leverage doesn’t kill accounts—bad trading does.**
- **Scalping with 20x > Swinging with 5x** (If you know what you’re doing)
- **If you can’t scalp profitably at 1x, 100x won’t save you.**
**🔥 Action Step:**
**Practice 1m scalping with 5x first.** Master entries & exits **before** cranking leverage.
