Intentionally deposited so little fund just to show trading technique and what can be acheived and what risks are encountered during trading. Especially a LIVE trading.

that's seems a good system, it's high risk, but you have a good % of good trades.
May be.. but the question is that the Dealing Centers are intentionally increasing leverage to give traders more chanses to loose the capital. :(
reason why i like oanda, they give a max of 1:50 only, with no minimum trade. giving 'hope' to a small time trader like me :)
God is great all the time

Nothing to do with leverage. Matter of how good your skill or EA.
50 USD, leverage 1:100/

Without high leverage a deposit that small is pointless. The fate of your capital depends on how you manage it.

High leverage is only suicide if you open more than you can handle. Provided you know much you have available and don't over commit yourself, it'll work to your advantage.
Agree with jaguarxj1
I also have leverage 1:500 and I only deposited 5$ and my funds are increasing fast (hope they dont stop :) )

Pulling the trigger when the money is about the price of a meal is a lot easier than when your bank is up to the price of a house.
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
The leverage is not the problem. The problem is more how much you risk in your account. If you risk only 5% or lower leverage won't be a problem. You can charge the maximum avaible in one direction while limiting losses. This would mean tighter stop!!
Main problem remain always draw down in account

High leverage can make you loss or gain more. It all depends on the trading style and also the discipline, Money management,

as some ppl mentioned before, the problem is not the high leverage..its all about the consistency when your account is growing bigger and bigger...most ppl simply risk to much at some point and are wondering why their system fails when it comes to larger amounts of money...so what it comes down to is MM ..nothin more nothin less...;)

hehe....unfortunatly your right.However, i never said that i have a good MM....that´s why i´m testing my strategies on a demo account....cause i am one of those guys who are havin problems when the depot reached a certain level, i´m aware of that....but that does not make the points i mentioned wrong, does it? ;)

I use 1:400 leverage, but risk 2% or less per trade. Why 1:400? Because it allows me to trade a broader range of pairs at any given time without draining my capital. The simple MM rule that makes this practical is to NEVER open a new trade until the first trade hits breakeven and is locked-in with a trailing stop, at which point risk is eliminated. Only then do I look for another opportunity.
