But it's ridiculous that you can easily buy 3x leveraged overseas stocks, but for the crappy KODEX leverage (domestic) that barely moved 1% a day before the bull market, you had to take education. I mean, it's weirder that KODEX leverage is harder to buy than overseas leverage. The 10 million KRW deposit is annoying, but considering the risk of leverage itself, I can somewhat understand it.
