I don't do leverage because of the risk/reward skewing.
Liquidation means you expose 100% of your capital and that means you need ridiculous returns to meet that.
If you're asking about leverage under 1 million dollars don't bother.

2x ETFs consistently make it through entire recessions with no problems

its the patricians choice, the drawdowns are worse yes but its no different than buying and holding SPY or QQQ through recessions no matter what

$8 calls on DRV, you'll be making sandwiches in no time.

>Feels like the only way to actually make any profit is by using leverage

Not true. I only use conventional leverage for indices. 2x. Less conventional is trading things like warrants that swing a lot more than the underlying in the same way options do.

That's true but if you are confident in your move and on top of that , set up a stop loss you might not be liquidated in an instant.

MELI beat earnings by 50%, may run a bit in the morning. Overall things look good for it in my eyes, AMZN of a continent that AMZN isn't fighting to get into. Still a small cap with plenty of room for growth. AMZN showing them exactly what does and doesn't work for the last 15 years.

My 401k is up 10% this year.

This actually worries me. I feel like we just delayed a moderate-sized crash last year for a big one later.

Remember to invest spiritually in yourself through the infinite love of Jesus Christ!
Take a deep breath and say a quiet prayer to your Father in Heaven, He'll be happy to hear from you!
