Does High Leverage Increase or Decrease the Effective Transaction Cost of a Trade?

High leverage effectively decreases the transaction cost relative to the notional value of the position, as a smaller amount of capital is needed to control a large notional value. However, it increases the risk of liquidation, and the funding rate, which is an ongoing cost, is paid on the full notional value, potentially increasing the total cost over time.
