Princess Gwen here. In the latest Zelda, Breath of the Wild expansion, there's a weapon you pick up that can do infinite damage, but which makes you equally susceptible, so that any small hit, or bee-sting, or thrown rock will kill you. But you can kill anything with one hit!

Trading with leverage is kind of like that. It is a very powerful tool, but it's just as likely to wipe you out. Most of the time, I don't think using leverage is worth it. Too much stress, and it leaves you vulnerable to any tiny change in the market.

However, used properly, it can be very useful. Considering that the market looks like it's about to change direction, this is a good tool to have in your belt. It's best used for short duration, or alternatively in a small position. In a market like this, you can have fairly tight stops once it changes direction.
