I've done leveraged trades before, especially when I used to trade forex markets when I was younger. Crypto is volatile enough without leverage and expensive if you aren't watching the chart throughout your trade. You can't hold leveraged positions for days as you have to account for interest to be paid on borrowed funds which can spell trouble if market reverse.

If market reverses which it can very quickly with BTC, stop loss will liquidate you in no time. It's always good to trade on probability, having calculated your Risk-Reward ratio with excellent risk management. Normal trading is much easier and suited for most people. You can do margin trades in parabolic bull runs sometimes where the probability of a short at a specific level is extremely high. Recent example is the 13.8K-14K high. :)
