Recently, I've been trading gold futures and crude oil using a few traditional finance exchanges, and I've noticed some obvious problems. For example, leverage is fixed.

I've had a few instances where I was in a rush to open positions and my directional judgment was actually correct, but since leverage couldn't be adjusted, I hastily pulled a larger percentage and ended up liquidating my position by accident. Two trades were liquidated for exactly this reason.

Since these weren't normal losses but rather operational mistakes caused by these limitations, some platforms that launched perpetual contracts claim you can adjust leverage, but the order book depth isn't good.

These past few days at TradFi, I can now adjust leverage myself—it's not that fixed type anymore.

This is how I'm using it now:
Market trend is fairly certain → Slightly increase leverage, then volatility starts getting chaotic → directly reduce the leverage to control risk, and the entire trading experience feels completely different.

For assets like gold, crude oil, and forex, they all support leverage adjustment now, which provides much more operational flexibility than before. For people who frequently trade TradFi, this kind of change is quite critical.
