I agreed with you that that leverage of 25x is somewhat risky but then at that time I made a lot of profits I opened the position with $50 and when the market shifted in the market favor I was able to make around $12 profits which I close the position immediately to take profits in other not to lose that along the way.
Between we have to take risks sometimes in other to keep control of our profits merging when that comes around.
Leverage is just semantic if we know how to manage the margin.
There's reason why I prefer to open 50x lev with $20 marign than $200 with 5x lev while the position size is actually the same.
It's simpler, requires little capital while having more or less the same risk if we use cross perpetual account and have some balance to compensate the negative PnL beyond 100%.
Overall, it's very helpful if we know how to use it.
