Taking leverage is proven profitable, but know the fact that it isn’t for everyone. Just take small steps instead and improve your trading skills and performance in the market.
It's not for everybody and whoever trades in leverage and manages to take the risk properly and able to profit, you have an idea on how to control yourself. What's wrong with people hearing others doing leverage trading being profitable, they think that it's also going to work for them. But that's not it, it's hard to get into leverage when you are less experienced trader and you are trying it without further knowledge. You're gonna be consumed by the market and will be easily liquidated.
