I've always assumed that 50x leverage is automatically more dangerous than 5x, but I'm wondering if position size changes that equation.
For example, if someone uses a much smaller position with 50x compared with a large position at 5x, could the actual risk be similar? How do experienced traders look at this?

Yeah, the leverage multiplier isn't the only thing I'd look at. Your position size, margin, stop-loss and distance to liquidation all matter when you're figuring out the actual risk. This guide helped clarify that distinction for me, especially the sections on margin modes and liquidation: https://evedex.com/en/blog/crypto-leverage-trading/. Higher leverage gives you less room for an adverse move, but the overall position size is still a huge part of the equation.
