Is trading with leverage actually worth it or is it smarter to just buy and hold spot?

>> No.58188892

Leverage is much riskier, choose a smaller allocation of capital, like say 10-20% of your portfolio, use Spot for trading on Daily interval and Weekly for the rest

Instead of investing $50,000 in the market when you’re young and $1 million when you’re older,
it would be better to invest $100,000 when you’re young and $950,000 when you’re older. The total market exposure is the same, but it is better
spread out across time.

Eternally poor spot coons ITT, bet y'all buy niggerdogeinu hoping to strile it big, while I just slurp BTC dips/sell BTC tops with 10x leverage. Once you have reached a point, where your position is comfortably above your entry price, you can just set a SL there and compound forever, take more and more profits, so that once you get stopped out at your entry price, you've already >5x'd your money.

To add: Before you move your SL up to your entry price, you should have it at a threshold, where you can A: conclusively say, that it will dip lower (e.g some important support) and B: You lose less than 5% of your margin in case of being stopped out

I got rekt and sidelined by trading with leverage in 2018 and 2021

Dont do it anon unless you have insane risk control and only bet 1% of your port in a single trade. You can't even set stop losses for a 1% loss because slippage will rek you to 1.5% or 2% or more in volatile conditions and that will fuck with your risk reward ratios for a lot of setups which means your account will bleed to 0, rather than getting liquidated instantly, but you'll still lose money
