Hey Rassell, I don’t go beyond 1:200 with the leverage and overall I don’t like to risk more than 2% of my trades.

Yes there are some compliance that have to be followed by forex brokers. But choosing one of the brokers is a very important task. I would recommend that shortlist some of the brokers and make comparisons between them.
Every trader should also do that. Increasing lot size without proper measurement is kind of suicide in my opinion.

Markwoods posted:I can second that since I’ve been using XM and Fxview’s ECN too. The spreads are tight and the leverage is also fine. I try to keep the leverage low but then for some particular trades, it is got to be high. I mean if you’re not risking much, you won’t earn more profits, right?
Well, I have been using an ECN broker and I can tell you that I haven’t faced such issues with them so far.
I believe that everyone should have the right approach to trading, which is why I now use ECN with a leverage of 1: 200 and a deposit of $ 200 from Amarkets broker.

Lycineandrew posted:Yeah it can be a bit risky. I don’t know why people use such a high leverage, at least I’m not a risk taker.
That is somewhat right. I usually don’t go very high with the leverage since I feel it is kind of risky.

Ezereombre posted:I completely agree with you on this. I use Fxview too and I’m thinking about opening some demos with Oanda or XM. Let's see how that works out.russellgutierrez posted:Right and even though ECN brokers offer more than 100:1 leverage, the best deal would be to have a broker like Fxview, FXVM, or eToro that offers various leverage ratios like 50:1, 100:1, 200:1, and 400:1. I have traded with them and could change the leverage ratio on their website’s dashboard.
Do you really want to use this much leverage, even though most of the reliable brokers can offer you leverage ranging from 1:2 to 1:1,000 depending on the investment and requirement of the traders. There are different leverage levels that are ideal for traders with diverse knowledge and experience. So, when you talk to your broker, consider your individual needs and strategy. But, if you’re seriously planning this much leverage, do work on your strategy once.

If you want to trade, you must control the risk. And the best way to control this risk is to select low leverage.

That’s not true. There are so many ECN brokers that offer leverage more than 1:100. Some ECN brokers that I have already been using include ICM and Fxview and they offer quite high leverage. You need to go for their offshore option if you want to use high leverage.

The ECN brokers that I have used so far have offered me 1:500 leverage on average. So, I don’t think there is any truth in what you are saying.

You really need to do some more research on offshore brokers. There is no limit to the leverage that an ECN broker can offer. It is their choice and they set the limit according to their own conditions.
