When I first discovered leverage, I thought it was like a turbo button in a racing game. Why drive 1x speed when the broker is happily offering 500x, right? So I went full Fast & Furious on my account. Every trade was “all-in but with style” because in my head,
I wasn’t over-leveraged, I was “maximizing opportunity”. Then one random news spike hit, and my account evaporated faster than my motivation to go to the gym on Monday. That’s when I finally understood: leverage is not a shortcut to get rich; it’s a shortcut for your mistakes to hit you 500 times harder. Now I treat leverage like chili sauce – a little bit adds flavour, too much and you’re just crying and regretting your life choices.
