actually even with the leverage system trading we can still trade safely. but indeed we have to learn about analytical techniques, monetary management, and psychology. with discipline to the plans that have been made beforehand, I think it is safe
Yeah there are traders who are making use of leverage trading into their massive profits making but if you look into ratio of successful traders against losing traders due to availing leverage in crypto markets then you will definitely get shocked. Crypto markets's volatility is more cruel than any other markets. Whales manipulation must be another big reason.
in trading the more you make luck part of your job the more it is risky.
I believe this is what OP is emphasizing; trading in futures without enough skill, must be having more risk to lose; that is obviously equivalent to gambling.
