I've been diving into CFD trading lately, and I’m trying to wrap my head around the whole cost versus leverage capital thing. On one hand, I see the potential for making significant gains, especially with the leverage, but I can’t shake off the feeling that it might lead to bigger losses too.

For those of you who’ve been trading CFDs for a while, do you think the benefits of using leverage outweigh the costs? Are there any hidden fees or risks I should be aware of? I’d love to hear your experiences or tips on managing these costs effectively while still making the most of the leverage. How do you guys approach this?
