Financial leverage allows you to earn decent money on short positions. From my own experience I remember investing with a leverage of 1:100, although on currency markets I have met dealers who played 1:1000. Different times, different rules and regulations, different risks. However, then, as today, it is either fun for big players with large capital, or on the other hand - for imbeciles who think that having nothing they will become millionaires overnight. But on this market they have a very short life, because profits grow in proportion to the risk and costs. Bragging about earnings which not enough for a dinner at McDonald's is therefore ridiculous here. Fun makes sense when we play with financial leverage of 1:100 and with a minimum deposit of £5k (not with a fu..g £100 , on 1:10 leverage). Then a 1% change is a profit or loss of the entire deposit and visible in cash specific earnings or losses. Of course, there are costs of "grounding" positions for each day, which with a larger number of open positions means that this game either forces you to day trade or generates significant costs. Often, although it depends on the options trading platform, we are forced to pay additional fees for opening or closing a position. Generally, from my point of view, but also according to market research, over 95% of small day traders on the shorts market incur statistics in the long term. This is the so-called market of suicides, unlike the stock market itself. In its case one person made money - another one will need to lost. However, many idiots still believe that by investing £100 on shorts, they will quickly become a millionaire. It will be worse if, investing a few £k on a large leverage of 1:20 or higher, he wakes up in the morning when the share price at the opening market will start with changes by 10% in the opposite direction to the one he assumed. Because then either his positions are automatically closed or he has to pay the missing collateral. The rules for this are clear. Losses must be covered by the account owner, and he is responsible for them with all his assets, not only up to the size of the deposit. Playing like an idiot on a gigantic leverage, we can wake up in the morning with tens of thousands of £ in debt, which we will have to pay for the rest of our lives. So I suggest the trolls here either stop writing nonsense with earnings in the background for a sandwich at McDonald's, or show that they have balls between their legs and play with financial leverage from 1:20 upwards and deposits above £5k. Then they will pass the test of both masculinity and holding their pee and shXXit, feeling the true power of their money, capital and the stock market.
