Gold itself is primarily traded through spot trading for large funds. For small-scale investments, you might consider low-volatility contract products. To be honest, gold itself has low volatility, but once you go into contracts, leverage can start from 20x and go higher. The foreign exchange market is even more exaggerated, with leverage often at 500x or 1000x. With such high leverage, a sudden spike in the market can easily lead to liquidation, which is very damaging. Therefore, it is recommended that when a trading platform launches new tokens, they should carefully consider the volatility aspect and avoid a severe mismatch between the trading assets and leverage multiples. This is the only way to properly protect investors.

Using 500x leverage is truly playing with fire; I've seen too many friends get liquidated.

Leverage is really a double-edged sword. Starting at 20x is just ridiculous, one slip and dreams are shattered. Anyone who has experienced liquidation knows how it feels; spot trading is more reliable. Think carefully about trading gains, don't let beginners give away their money for nothing. Using high leverage on low-volatility assets is just fishing for trouble. Current contract settings are truly ridiculous, risk controls are virtually nonexistent. Small-scale traders are the ones getting cut, so it's better to stay low-profile and allocate wisely. Gold doesn't really need high leverage; it's too easy to get liquidated. That's right, the match between trading pairs and leverage is so important; otherwise, you're just working for the exchange.

Playing gold with 20x leverage is no different from playing with fire; one wrong move and it's game over.
