I've been diving deeper into trading and can't stop wondering about this stock monthly leverage fee that a few brokers mention. For those of you who use leverage regularly, do you think the fee is justified? I've read both sides—some say it’s an essential tool for amplifying gains, while others warn it can quickly eat into profits.

Honestly, I'm a bit hesitant about taking on more risk, especially with the added fees. If you’ve had experience with this, how has it impacted your returns? Have you found it helps you more than it costs you? I'm hoping to get some perspective before deciding whether to go down that route. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
