For those traders that do worry about liquidation whether it's just low leverage or he's into a higher one, it's better to go with the spot market.
You'll have no worry and what you earn it is as-is with it based on how much you trade and the gain it had in the market with the pair you trade.
The same as you, I'm staying with the spot market and I do not worry if I'll be liquidated or not and I can also hold there if I want to.
The fact that you can't get rich overnight with regular spot trading is the main reason why those people do not do it. I am not saying that you can't, but the way it's done is not that simple and it takes time, and that is why we see a ton of people who do high leverage trading in crypto. I know some famous trader turned 70k+ into 1+ million dollars during the hype period for example, you couldn't make that without leverage, or at least it would require you to find the highest earners constantly.You'll have no worry and what you earn it is as-is with it based on how much you trade and the gain it had in the market with the pair you trade.
The same as you, I'm staying with the spot market and I do not worry if I'll be liquidated or not and I can also hold there if I want to.
This is why they jump into higher risk trading methods, because they believe that they could make a lot of money that way and that's the main problem.

I prefer to do it in the spot market. With low Margin and low Laverege this makes us take advantage, because we can control it. But if liquidation still worries you, I think the spot market is the safest place to trade. You will keep everything in your account safe if you can use the spot market strategy well. Most of the strategies we use make us confused in trading, to be more profitable in trading I can still rely on the spot market.
Actually low or high leverage can all be set. It's just that the risk of high leverage will certainly have high liquidation, this is not recommended. All levels can have advantages and disadvantages so hazard management and analysis is essential. I also prefer the Spot market because the risk seems lower. The strategy adjusts to what you think is comfortable and profitable, no need to feel like a hassle. Because I believe everyone has a different strategy.

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?
Taking low margin and leverage means taking lower risks. Although this also means lower profits to be gained. But as long as we are consistent, this doesn't matter. I personally also prefer to choose using low margin and leverage when I was still trading in the future or with leverage. For, I am not a high-risk taker enough. However, everyone must have their own choices, sometimes, some traders (mostly high risk-takers) will prefer to choose high leverage to gain high profits even in only few trading activities.
Once more, it is personal preference based on each strategy and lso management of fund and risks. They are related each other.

I don't think you should calculate in this manner, rather than this way just simply take the trade with a stop loss and take profit, your stop loss should be defined by the maximum amount of money you are willing to lose on the trade, based on this amount you should start and end the trade if it does not goes into profit, adding up to profitable trades is a good idea but this is successful only in case of a few patterns like in cases of breakout you might not get a chance to enter on a second point because move could be so quick.

Test it out for yourself if it does work because you wouldnt know if it does work until you do apply it into your trades.Putting up shallow Stop losses could really easily be triggered or hit up because of volatility and since we know that we arent dealing with forex or indices or stocks which does have minimal movements but here on crypto space where 5-10% movement is really just like default thats why monitoring your stop losses would be
good or much better if you dont set anything at all specially if you are just dealing with active trading then it wont really be that necessary.
Also, it depends on the coin itself. Because each coin has their degree of trading activity. Some move faster than the others, depending on how it is heavily traded and how much volatility is involved. Because for example, in small cap coins, the movement is easy to manipulate even with the injection of small funds, hence, you will see a large percentage of change. You can always try your hypothesis in this market. But better use small funds if you are not ready with the outcome.

by using a small leverage in order to have a small risk too, then this seems to be an exercise. but we should not be tempted to immediately use large leverage, because if we succeed with small leverage in a row, it will come to mind to use large leverage in the hope of getting big profits soon. the wrong way for things like this, because they have not been able to control their own psychology. even though it is patience that must be maintained until we understand market habits work
I have not really thought about it but this is an additional risk, if people use a small amount of leverage and they happen to do well just out of random luck then they are bound to try to increase the level of leverage they have been using thinking they have master it already, and then when they do happen to make a mistake and they read the market wrong then that is when they can lose massive amounts of money.So I still stand by my previous recommendation, only expert traders should make use of leverage and most of the time those that choose to not listen to this simple advice will have to find out the hard way why this was a bad idea.

Actually it is better to have a start with this method if you're a beginner, firstly it help to cut loss and thereby reducing the extent at which you may loose your coins, but why some people choose this method probably is to participate on many Leverage positions within a day or short period of time, they are the the scalding and sometimes swing traders, but i think the best advice here is for you to discover your own best trading strategies. This is how people approach leverage, it is a method where you know you should be right because it is your job and if you are right then why not make a bit more profit. Not everyone makes a profit, but that is the type of thinking they do before then join in. All others who do i,t do it because they have no idea.

Why not try trading with spot at first place and then become a pro at it.
After that may be you can try using leverage and try to increase it from 2x to 5x as and when you progress at your trading skills.

No rushing OP and have to be aware that leverage trading is somewhat difficult for the beginner and those who just have limited knowledge. It is found to be the best to start from the basic (spot trading) and make use of that experience for the next level.

This is a kind of reinsurance, a very cautious strategy.

Interesting. I need more info from you on Gunbot. I used to read about it a lot earlier but somehow I dropped the idea as it needs proper settings and if we are having set up in wrong way then things could really turn upside down. Though I had this trial earlier I might just start it over again with detailed info. Im not sure but I am hearing a lot about bot trading these days out of know where. Lolz. I might ask you @crwth in pm. 
Gunbot has been innovating a lot because for sure there's a learning curve in order to completely use it correctly but with the Gunbot School and how it became social, it has become a lot easier to learn it because there would be people to guide you throughout the journey with Gunbot.You could also PM me if you have any questions, I would be willing to assist you for sure.
