But the one that caught my attention the most is when an exchange users wrote a poetic statement about the bad side of trading but ye, from the screenshot he shared he shown an x25 position which to me and every other crypto traders is never going to work.

I remember JamesWynn when he always posts his position with a x40 leverage. I mean it work for him for a moment, and made huge money, but overtime, he lost, and lost, and lost. Right now, I don't have any updates about him anymore with regards to his positions.

Nevertheless, I agree with what most people here said that x25 is very risky, and for me, isn't recommendable especially if you're just a conservative trader. x5 is the most common that I'm using, and there are also times where I'm using x10 especially when it's Bitcoin but for altcoins, x5 is what I'm using. I've seen traders even using x50, x100 or even x500 (on MEXC), and they're making money from it, but as usual, we don't know if in the long run they really are making money because there's also a chance that they're only posting their only win, but in reality, they lost a lot using that high of a leverage.

Overall, x25 is fine AS LONG AS you know what you're doing. For me, I can't take x25 leverage unless maybe if I'm scalping, but I'm more of a swing trader right now and x5 is what works for me.
