For the same reason I don't pay attention to anyone else's trades. It's irrelevant as we each have our own trade plan (hopefully). 5 minute is slower than what I trade so I suppose it could be "boring" today.
I traded before and since but was helping family open a business at the time. I did trade during the tech crash of 2000-2001 however and volatility was extreme. People who knew what they were doing cleaned up and those who didn't got hammered.
"Highly leveraged" means different things to different people but if any given trade is capable of triggering a margin call then it should be considered over-leveraged and thus too risky.
I've studied under long time practitioners. I recommend finding a qualified teacher, it's very difficult to see what needs to be corrected and done correctly.
