There are many examples of both successful and failed leveraged trades. One well-known example of a successful leveraged trade is George Soros' short of the British pound in 1992, which he executed using leverage to amplify his profits. On the other hand, there are also numerous examples of traders who have lost everything through leveraged trading, such as the former richest man in the world Carlos Slim, who lost $20B in 2008 due to a leveraged trade. These case studies demonstrate the potential rewards and risks of leveraged trading, and the importance of effective risk management and discipline. __________
