increasing the opening capacity of trading lots from leverage certainly increases the risk as well, but sometimes it is only seen from the increase in profit, that is a wrong thing.
learning leverage is very important so traders who choose leverage must know beforehand what leverage is and its benefits.

Leverage can be dangerous if you don’t use it wisely. High leverage is certainly use for traders with small capital as they get to trade with a higher amount. But the risk is also magnified and you can end up losing a lot. So beginners should definitely stick with low leverage.

What must be underlined for this leverage is knowledge and how it works, if you already know how it works traders will adjust to their needs and determine the right risk management.

Leverage if used with the right person / smart trader will be useful to double in profits, but if an amateur trader does not know how to trade it will be dangerous to make a margincall.

For me personally, leverage is very helpful, because with a small capital I can potentially get a very large profit by using a large leverage, that's why I like to use a broker that offers a large leverage.

leverage is a 2-edged sword so it's like eating Simalakama fruit where we will be in almost different conditions if we abuse the weapon (leverage).

Using leverage should not be balanced with capital or excessive.
Leverage will be dangerous if it is used incorrectly, but if you can use it properly it can increase your income.

Leverage like as using the double edge of swords, if trader cant use properly it could dangerous because with leverage allow the trader to make a transaction with the smallest margin requirement to trading in real contract size, high leverage and high position size correlated to strength account to withstand price movement, using high position size will narrow margin level and close to margin call account

Leverage is useful, however, small traders rely heavily on the use of leverage. 
Small capital will not be enough to open a trade without leverage.

It's easy to trade leverage if it is used properly it will be able to provide big profit potential with small capital, but if not used properly it will accelerate our losses and accelerate our bankruptcy

leverage is a boomerang so if we can use it well it will help but if we can't it will be detrimental and make us consumed by our own weapons.

I just want to add to this leverage topic.
Large leverage will increase (capital booster), profits and losses will be multiplied from usual depending on the leverage used, so it is wise to use this leverage because it is quite dangerous if not careful.

If leverage is used correctly it will be very profitable, but if it is wrong it will actually hurt us. More or less like a weapon.

That leverage will be very useful if it is used properly and correctly, especially by people who only have a small capital for trading, but indeed have a wise desire to use large leverage, prioritize good money management, of course.

for me leverage is very certain, because I am a trader who is relatively small or has a small capital so leverage is very helpful for my transactions and can help get a large enough profit
