If you want to open an account, you should first of all think about your deposit. Starting with a few hundreds or even thousand dollars will require you a leverage, which is in fact a hidden loan offered by the broker agency. That's how important leverage is. However, the leverage can also bring to losses much faster than you may think. Check how leverage works (https://www.itrader.com/en/article/what-is-leverage)

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.

By using leverage you will be win or not , it depends on your trading plan . With real trading plan including exact risk managing plan it is obviously possible to make profit very quickly by using high leverage despite of having small balance. on the other hand , in spite of sufficient trading balance that’s not possible to ensure profit by leverage , if you don’t know how to manage risk.

Of course it is useful, it is very important, although it is a double-edged sword and can be beneficial or with great losses for the investor.

Pretty much the answer on the topic question will be close to ' Yes. Leverage is useful for trading if you know how to use it. '
Accept the loss as experience

the leverage always works as a killer. Because the traders we have always fall a great loss by using leverage especially when high ration. But sometimes it brings profit very rapidly when there is real trading plan with great risk management approach. Actually forex market is too much risky and volatile. Risk is everywhere and from all trading elements leverage always contains more risk. so before trading with leverage we have to make sure how to manage risk in Fx.

It’s true that high leverage can magnify your profits. But at the same time, it also magnifies your losses.

Leverage is certainly useful. If a trading plan and discipline can be maintained, you must use leverage. I think 1:50 leverage should be used by every trader.

Even if you are good at money management, leverage can be harmful. Try using it only when you are sure about the market trend.

That’s right. Leverage exposes more risk. So, use it carefully. I recommend new trader to use small ratio of leverage.

I'm using only 1:500 leverage, BUT, for every 2000 in balance I'm using 0.01 lot, so the leverage for me is just an additional protection for 'bad weather'
