New traders need to know this issue before their live trading; because, without following the money management rules the result will be costly for sure!

So do you support high leverage? What’s your personal choice?

I use 1:30 on my EU broker, but this really makes it harder to faster grow a small account. AU brokers still offer high leverage.

leverage is one of the most important tools in forex market. It increases the investment ability. Traders generally choose those brokers which give more leverage than others. So it is a very important to choose a broker which has dynamic and high leverage. I choose tpglobalfx because of their high leverage which is 1:500. They don't change their ratio. It helps me to make more profit.

High leverage can actually be safer . it allows you to use a smaller trading account and still make good profits. If you lose everything you only lose a small amount. Whereas with low leverage you have to make a big deposit to make any money. If you lose that then you are screwed

High leverage can bring profit instantly if you are able to make proper trading planning with great risk management policy , otherwise you can fall a huge loss by taking high leverage , in this market place by and large traders in particularly the newcomers fall a great loss by taking high leverage due to non-sense planning and zero risk management approach. So, before trading with high leverage we have to know how to manage risk.

A common mistake beginning forex traders make is to use leverage without taking into account the risk in relation to the amount of money available in their trading account. Leverage can wipe out a trading account very quickly if it is not handled properly.

Although using leverage is important while you trade in forex, it is also important to take care of the risk factors associated with it. Also it is essential to maintain the leverage to be low and make use of trailing stops for reducing the downside and protecting the capital.

Using leverage is fine but using high leverage is really a bad idea unless you are a professional trader knowing how risky it is.

Leverage is a double-edged sword, as real leverage has the potential to enlarge your profits or losses by the same magnitude. The greater the amount of leverage on the capital you apply, the higher the risk that you will assume. Note that this risk is not necessarily related to margin-based leverage although it can influence if a trader is not careful.

when using leverage money management really a big factor , but the problem is newcomers dont know how to manage money when trading. as a result they become loser most of the time.
Here's my suggestion/example for a good money management:
Account size 1.000€: lot-size 0.01lot (per trade)
10.000€: 0.10lot
100.000€: 1.00lot
1.000.000€: 10.00lot
Maximum account-DD: 10-20% (while trades are running, use an SL if you're not sure when to stop out yourself), maximum used margin per trade: 1% (of your whole account).
As a professional trader you have barely more than 2 or 3 trades opened at once in your account. All people who show you more are scammers or gamblers who don't really trade, or are traders with too much greed and who're not interested in long-term steady profits but only fast money (they probably always blow their accounts after some time).
This goes for all accounts with a maximum account leverage of up to 1:500.
Higher leverages like 1:1000 or 1:2000 I would not recommend. For beginners it's good to start with 1:100.
Btw.: the ESMA has a regulation that you can only trade with a maximum leverage of 1:50 with European brokers. But I guess they'll stop that regulation in 2021 again, because a lot of traders using offshore brokers now (instead of the European ones).
But nevertheless, with lower leverages you could also use higher lot-sizes; it depends on the broker's margin being used per asset (usually you can find it in the details of each asset).
patience is the key
