Look, I messed up big time on ADA, DOGE, SOL with ridiculous leverage. Lost $600 in a night. It was the math I didn't get. Think of leverage like a seesaw. Your initial money (margin) is on one side. The market movement is on the other.

If you put in $100 and use 10x leverage, you're trading a $1000 position. Now, if that asset just drops 10%, your $1000 position is suddenly worth $900. Your $100 margin? Gone. Liquidated. But if you went 100x? A measly 1% drop wipes out your $100.

Leverage amplifies your potential gains, yes, but it supercharges your risk of total loss. The higher the leverage, the smaller the move needed to wipe you out. Don't let it sneak up on you like it did me. Understand the trap.
