I think it is better to keep the leverage low. I usually keep it around 1:50 for particular trade situations.

High leverage is not less than a fear for me. I have seen people losing their money because of the high leverage. I have never used more than 10x. What is the highest leverage that you have ever used?

I like to keep it low. Using 1:20 so far with fxview, for me that works well. Also, it depends on what am trading. But I don’t go beyond that level.

fully agree
I prefer to use max 1:50

but if the deposit is too small and I use EA so I can set 1:500

but anyway I recommend to use low lavarage

If I don’t use leverage I will not really be in a position to trade :(

1:200 for 5.000/10.000usd
1:500 for 1.000usd
1:888 for 500usd
Cordially, SmatchBR.

Yep fully agree, at the same time highs and lows can be such relative terms if you think of it. For me anything beyond 10x is high. Fxview is giving me 500:1 and instaforex gave 1000:1, but I never go beyond 10:1.

Using leverage is not discouraged as such, ‘high leverage’ should be avoided.
What’s the point of using these high leverage brokers then?

I use fxview for scalping currencies because of the low spreads, and in the past used instaforex for the PAMM account. Leverage with these brokers is just a bonus.

Yes it is good. Up to 50x leverage is fine imo.

I currently trade with a maximum leverage of 500:1 using FP Markets under their ASIC regulation since their offshore regulation provides lower leverage.

all brokers these days are throwing leverage at their clients.
Right. Less is more for me.

I don’t like to go above 1:20 and mostly keep it at 1:10. High leverage feels so risky, I don’t prefer it at all.

I don't use high leverage either.

At times I use 1:10 and sometimes I go with 1:20. These are the safest to use so I go with them. Using a very high leverage seems very risky to me.

I am not a fan of leverage, but they can be useful if you have smaller funds. If that was the case, I would go for 10x, max.

Psychology and risk management are two important parts of trading. Discipline cannot be maintained without that part. Profits cannot be made without psychology. And if you can't maintain the risk, it is not possible to sustain the investment.

I see. As they say, better to be safe than sorry, Isn't it ?

I currently trade using 500:1 leverage though the risk involved is higher, the profit earned is also higher, and to deal with losses, I have certain money management skills.
