10x-50x is also relatively large from my point of view, I wonder how much margin you always use to take +30x positions, the trend is always interesting to pay attention to especially in short time frames, but still in an uncertain market, some days green and then turned red, there is always room for uncertainty to come to the traders, which is why there are so many cases of liquidation in the market.
My leverage today is not more than 8x, which is more than enough, especially playing in a very volatile market even though the trend is indeed in a good state.
Yes, 10x to 50x might still seem a lot but it is manageable. With proper risk management in place, we can still make really good profits by using that high leverage. Using up to 50x leverage depends on how experienced we are. Just to try out our luck, it is fine to blow our account once or twice but blowing our account more than 3 times would mean we are doing something wrong. At that point, one can consider decreasing leverage or not using one at all. 50x leverage still seems safe if you are a well-seasoned trader.
In current volatile markets, 8x is a decent choice and I am sure you would still need to sit in front of the screen for hours to speculate sudden moves. Either stop loss will be in place or you will have to stick yourself in front of the screen until this position is closed.
What kind of risk management can I do with a leverage of say 40x, can you project it with how you work in trading, let's say I have a trading capital of $2000, as my initial capital, you only need to describe a trade here with a POV that you think it is still possible to do and is still quite safe, as a risk, from the start of the margin and time frame and SL limits that I need to take when trading.
