High leverage, can no doubt give high profits, but comes with good amount of risks too.
One should be really careful.
Yes, high leverage can put my account at risk. So I try to trade with low leverage.

Leverage is very important in trading. If a trader wants to make a consistent profit, he has to work with proper leverage.

Yea you need to be careful with leverage as it can blow your account quickly but at the same time I do believe it can be very useful for growing a small account if you know what you’re doing.

Leverage can be a great danger, if you don't have enough knowledge about it.
Of course, leverage is very important in trading. The lower the leverage selected, the lower the risk.

Using leverage in account forex trading should to understand, maybe there are trader like to use high leverage like as 1:1000, in my opinion, this leverage only endangers account if you cant control decision trading, basically using such leverage will allow the trader to open bigger lot size and this possible become nightmare for the trader.

Yes of course, leverage helps a lot in reducing risk. So to maintain the risk, a small leverage should be selected.

Without leverage, traders with small capital like us will not be able to trade. It gives us enough liquidity to open a trade. Otherwise we would need 1000$ capital just to open.01 lot.

@Akasuki I agree with you. Without leverage we won't be able to trade anymore. Leverage gives us the power to open trade with small capital.
