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.
