Is trading futures with high leverage really profitable?
Just pure curiosity. Is there anyone who trading futures with high leverage (above 20×) and still growing their portfolios? Coz everytime I tried trading above 20× I seem to be losing so bad. Most of my profit come from spot and 5×, 10× positions in futures. Should I just stick to what I’m currently doing or try to learn how to trade with high leverage?

Most of us look at Leverage wrong.
Leverage is a Line of Credit.
1000 at 100x is 100,000.
$1000 in contracts is $11.
Cross Margin. Prevents early Liquidation.
A well managed 100k Portfolio, Hedge Mode, Cross Margin, Low Bets can be very profitable.
Don’t go too deep and you can afford to be wrong a few times, hedge and martingale out.
