Why with the same 3000U, some people turn it into 30kU in a month while others lose down to 300U in three days? Many people's first reaction is that it's a market issue, but after doing it for a long time, you'll find that the difference is not the market at all, but whether they use leverage as a tool or as a gambling table.
Many people hear "liquidation" and immediately think it's caused by too high leverage, but this understanding is incomplete. What really causes problems is never 20x or 50x, but the combination of high leverage + heavy position + lack of risk control happening together.
Let me give a simple example. With the same 3000U position, opening 300U at 10x and 150U at 20x have the same actual risk exposure. If the market moves up 1%, both sides make about the same profit, but if it drops 1%, the former loses 30U which is 10% of margin, while the latter also loses 30U but that eats 20% of margin. After one or two more fluctuations, the mindset starts to get chaotic. So many people don't lose because of the market; they lose because their position structure is too fragile.
Going deeper, with a 3000U account, using 300U at 10x gives you at most 10 opportunities, but using 150U at 20x can be split into 20 opportunities. The same money gives the latter more flexibility because you are testing in batches rather than betting your life on one trade.
The true meaning of high leverage is not to go all-in, but to allow you to trade in small positions, multiple entries, and batch orders. Add when you are right, exit when you are wrong. Low leverage suits people who hold heavy positions and withstand fluctuations; high leverage suits people who trade light and fast in and out. But in reality, most people use it exactly the opposite way.
When it comes to trading, in the end, it's not about who is braver, but who is more stable. Stable position size, stable stop-loss, stable execution. Once these three things get messed up, it's basically downhill. The difference is simple: one uses leverage to trade, the other uses leverage to gamble.
