Low leverage is dangerous, why?

Nope.
Leverage does not control the loss on your account.
It simply determines margin needed to open and maintain position.

Exactly!
Risk management applies the same way to stocks trading (no leverage) and CFD trading (with leverage) regardless.
It's all up to the trader to handle the risk.

Agree with you. 100%
People think small leverage so you lose and earn more slowly, but in fact you either lose time, because you can earn normally with such an account only after a long time, if you can.
In this case it will be more profitable to put this amount in a bank.
Either you lose a lot of money, because, as you said, you need to put a large amount for trading.
As a result of these restrictions, they simply throw out smaller players from the market, leaving only large ones.

leverage is how much the bank is ready to loan you money in order for you to trade larger lots size,thus (POTENTIAL ) to earn more profit,IF your trading system is sound
