Do you agree with me that leverage is the killer ?

[Exness Support]

Well i met a lot of new traders who blasted their accounts in 2-3 Months time. Often i notice these new traders trade big lots relative to their account size and that's often the reason of failure. So I call it leverage the killer.

Do you agree with me using bigger lot size is often reason for failure for most of the traders ? Please share your story and feedback

No, leverage is not a killer. It is a very useful tool. Unreasonable position sizes are a killer.

High leverage gives you more flexibility in your trading. Adding to losing positions, or scaling in, as some people call it, kills your account, not high leverage.

Leverage is not the killer--a lack of understanding ,poor execution, and inexperience are lethal

well said actually a trader has to learn how to make use of leverages, there are many traders who use leverage very smartly to book profits.

No, I don't agree with you, leverage can work in your favor if you actually know what you are doing.

It's a FOREST GUMP Logic, Leverage vs No Leverage.
With 0 leverage you'll struggle to beat inflation.
It's all mathematics. You know how much you lose. And you know that you have at least 100 tries to open a new position after each loss. I use reversed martingale money management. I reduce my position size by 2 after each loss so I have huge quantity of bullets in my machine gun. Once you're backed by this, you try your best to reduce losses. You also need at least 1:2 average riskrofit ratio to cover your losses by 1/2 position size. This money management is not ok with low profit ratio strategies neither.
