High leverage is a double-edged sword. Historically, there have been many cases of huge losses due to excessive leverage (such as the bankruptcy of long-term capital management companies, retail GameStop option exploding positions, etc.). It is recommended to start with low leverage to accumulate experience and gradually increase risk appetite.
