Turn off margin

What is the aversion to ‘using margin’? Is it:

1. Don’t want to incur ANY margin interest charges.
2. Don’t want to incur a lot of interest charges. Maybe $1 or $2 a month is ok or maybe .005% of equity is ok.
3. Don’t want to add leverage and increased volatility to my strategy.
4. Don’t want the potential for a margin call. A little margin expense is ok but really don’t want to deal with margin calls.

Personally, the one I care about is #3. I would like to have a setting that raises an error any time a trade would require use of leverage, so that I never accidentally borrow cash. This would make me more comfortable using strategies where I’m not as confident in their results.
