Don’t demonize it—playing with contracts isn’t hard. When beginners hear “contracts,” they get overwhelmed and feel like they’re walking on a tightrope. But once you break it down, it’s just a simple principle.
With the same way of moving a 1000U position, you can use a 100U margin to open 10x leverage, or use 50U margin to open 20x leverage. When you’re making money, they’re exactly the same. But when you’re losing money, that’s where the difference shows up—the market drops 1%. With 10x, you lose 10U (10% of the margin); with 20x, you lose 20U (40% of the margin). Even more importantly, at 10x you need a reverse move of 10% to be liquidated, while at 20x it only takes a 5% move to be wiped out.
So does that mean you should always choose low leverage? Not necessarily. If you only have 1000U and want to trade more coins, higher leverage helps you open more positions. 10x lets you open up to 10 positions, while 20x lets you open up to 20.
The conclusion is simple: if you want to last, choose low leverage and go steady. With a small principal but good judgment, high leverage is what lets you maximize capital efficiency. There’s no single best plan—only what suits you best.
