Why are you all advertising for your brokers here? The question was about leverage not about brokers. 🙄
The higher the leverage the higher the risks (that you'll lose it all (if huge losses), or that the broker won't pay you out (if huge profits)).

I think High leverage means high risks if you don't have enough knowledge about using the leverage.

Idk why beginners are always excited to use high leverage. Just keep it low to 1:1.

No denying the fact that profits ultimately depend on the skills of a trader. A broker can only help by offering certain leverage. Higher the better!

I’m using Oanda right now. I don’t really use high leverage so that works for me. Any other recommendations?

As I traded in the past, besides the leverage concern, I do assume that some of most underrated tools come in handy to arbitrate your ongoing trades.
Being a FXTM user, I mostly spent my time with: Pivot Point Strategy, Forex News Timeline, Margin Calculator, Profit Calculator and Invest Profit calculator.
@Lorencecolling : just out of curiosity, do you also feel that such tools are helpful in settling your trades to some extent? How’s it with yours, fxview?
Would appreciate a reply.

Are high and low leverage two sides of the same coin? I have started fresh in forex and not able to make a right judgment for a good leverage.
Not sure how correct it is to say there are high risks with high leverage.
Recommendations needed from experience holders.
I think high leverage will put your capital in high risk. 1:500 should be maximum for all although different brokers are offering different leverage but ultimately profit making in forex depends on your skills only.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

Fxview?? Never heard! Another offshore I bet
I use Fxview and it is fine. I think as long as your trade is good, it doesn’t really matter if the broker is local or not. At least it‘s regulated (not that it matters to me).

High leverage has high risks. That is exactly how it works and I’ve seen some traders shying away from using any. I get it, the risk is high but you won’t get anything without risking.

I’ve been around so long that I like to say I’ve used them all. Jokes apart, I have traded with quite good and bad ones. Oanda, IG, LCG, Fxview, Pepperstone are surely the good ones around. Healthy tip- stay away from scammers and research before investing.

I don’t think you should worry so much. Just choose the right platform and trade. I trade with XTB and Forex.com. The leverage varies from trade to trade and is usually high. Since it has worked for me, I go with it.

High leverage does come with high risk. It is better to keep the leverage low but if you want to experiment and give it a shot, high leverage can open doors for potential profit which is sometimes worth the risk.
Dec 25 2020 at 02:21
The higher the leverage, the higher the risk. So 1:50 leverage should be used to control the risk.

If a trader does not know how to manage capital and predict the most likely outcome of a trade, then a large leverage can only harm him. Therefore, after a while I just started using leverage up to 1: 1000
Feb 09 2021 at 09:54
High leverage can really be risky. Most new traders are advised to keep the leverage as low as 1:10 or 1:20 which is considered to be the safest among all.
Feb 10 2021 at 15:05
It seems to me that the risks associated with leverage does not depend on its size, it depends on how willing you are to work with it.
Feb 10 2021 at 20:42
From my experience most brokers will shut you down if Marvin gets to low and take that issue away from you.
Feb 24 2021 at 05:23
From what I have heard and experienced, it is somewhat true. A high leverage can increase the risk per trade but it also opens up doors for any potential return.
Mar 11 2021 at 20:33
The risk does not depend on the size of the leverage, it depends on your skill.
