in my view, we should not ignore the risk reward ratio, if higher leverage increases the likelihood of loss - better not use it, and also you have to manage your trades in such a way that even if the trade goes against your expectations you do not lose much and so I use less than 100 leverage. Often it is 50 or less, and so I am hardly lax even if I pursue trends for any reason. I judge investment as an exploit to free the country of buyers, but if you use it properly then no problem. I would argue all depends on your lotsize if you generate large lotsize your statement will break but 1: 1000 leverage hold you in buy a lot if you use right then it
