I used leverage once as far as I can remember and lost it, I prefer small profits with less risk than big profits with higher risks so I use spot trading only.
Futures trading carries high risks, so it is best for beginners to avoid it completely, but in general, whether in spot or future trading, it is best to risk only what you can afford to lose.
You have seen from your own experience that futures trading is very risky not only for beginners, but also for an experienced trader. But the risk of losing their money is undoubtedly higher for a beginner, since he will lack knowledge and experience when making a decision.
Even to those old traders or who could be called a veteran would really be having that huge risks on losing or blowing up their account balance specially on using up high leverage which is something not really
that recommendable.Somehow, there are people who do make out some huge profits on this but of course we dont know on how much they had lost when it comes to their trading positions.It cant really be just known on how well you would be able to handle up yourself into a unpredictable and volatile market plus you do make use of high leverage then you are indeed multiplying the risks.
Well, we do know that the higher or more the risks it would be the more profits we could get which is true but of course you should really be aware on how risky and dangerous it would be.
