It all started with discovering the futures market. High leverages!
That sounded interesting: Earn at high more than 10x more.
Trading without leverage is risky, people especially new traders are losing daily, if to talk of leverage, the risk of losing is more, more people lose than gain in trading, then going for leverage trading will amplify the loss making losses to be greater in shorter time. For beginners, it is not good to trade at all, patience for months of learning, then months of experience in with very low amount of money to start.
Going 10x is very risky, even expects can lose with this type of of high leverage, high leverage is used in certain conditions when an expect would have analysed and speculate the price will never fall and buy or that the price will never rise beyond a specific price before it will start rising. Best to go for 2x for max but better to not leverage at all.
