I know that lower margin and low leverage are also farther away from the liquidation price, so is it okay to set low margin and low leverage first to avoid losing if your strategy doesn't work, and then add if does the price follow your strategy? Is this also your strategy?
Leverage is the easiest way to get an account all blown off. Low leverage and low margin keeps your trading strategy in check. As a trader matter how good your strategy might appear it won't give you a profitable trade at all times. But with low leverage and low margin keeping it all in check it helps save trades both in losing and winning trades
