I'm still new, and I am still working out how various trading aspects work. If I am right, leverage is "borrowing" money to invest in a market when you think it is down, and when it is up you extract the money, pay back the original capital, and the "profit" is then yours.

I think Leveraging is very risky. What if you leveraged at the wrong time (e.g. Sat PM, just before Sun AM drop this weekend)?

I totally agree with you that the market is volatile enough not to have to worry about leveraging. I'm glad that I don't leverage as my "bot" purchased some crypto at spot price on Sat PM before the drop - but at least I didn't end up loosing more than I actually have !
