Setting the appropriate ratio of leverage is important to managing risk. The first step is to set your risk tolerance and trading strategy. Higher the leverage can lead to bigger profits, but in another case it also magnifies losses. A general and common rule is to use lower leverage for longer-term trades and higher leverage for short-term trades in futures . A common approach is to keep leverage below 5:1 mean 5X leverage for beginners and gradually increase it as experience grows.

Consider a scenario for possible cases where you set high leverage on a trade and the target is not hit. If the market goes against you for example you set for long but it wasn't happens , the losses can wipe out a significant portion of your capital. To handle this in good way, set stop-loss orders. These are pre-defined points as discussed in my previous posts at which your trade will automatically close if the market moves in an unfavorable direction. It is a smart way to limit losses and prevent emotional decision-making.

Always start with a small position size means less leveraging 5X or less and manageable leverage, especially if you are new to trading.

Conclusion

In simpler terms , leverage can be a useful tool in trading, but it needs to be handled with very caution. Setting leverage appropriately requires understanding your risk managment, trading style, and market conditions.

It is a balance between potential gains and potentially huge losses. By avoiding excessive leverage means extra leveraging , using stop-loss orders, and constantly assessing your strategy, you can properly the complex world of trading with a better chance of success.
