As someone with just a few dollars extra to give trading a shot, would it be possible at all to gain anything without the use of leverage? And is it even wise to use up all of your own cash?

'High leverage does have higher risk involved but using high leverage also has benefits because the profit earned is higher than the invested capital in a trade.
But high leverages are mostly used by experienced traders that take risks and place accurate or profitable trades.'

I don’t see any point in believing that high leverage can be harmful to your trading account. For me, the more leverage, the better the trades. I use leverage up to 1:200 with swissquote and xtb. I do make losses but they all get recovered after I make profits. I don’t think you can have a successful trading career without taking risks.

The market moves can be quite unpredictable. But if you won’t take risks, you won’t be able to make profits. If not high leverage, you can start with using low leverage and increase it with time. It is better not to take risks when you know what the clear result will be.

No one wants to lose, right? But I don’t understand why traders refrain from analysing the market before making such bigger moves that result in nothing more than losses. Trading is a risky job and it must not be taken lightly. I have been into trading for the last few years but there hasn’t been any strategy that I applied directly on my live account. I demo trade with pepperstone every time I see profitable market conditions to use leverage. It’s a longer procedure but I’m in no hurry to lose :)

Demo account is best way to learn and practice no matter what market you are in. Every investment market has its own risk. So, invest with caution.

Trading with higher leverage is risky, but higher leverage can also bring in higher profit value than an average leverage trade.
Average leverage! Hmm, how much would that be

Should a beginner broker trade with higher leverage or stick to lower leverage for most live trading experience?

@voicebissa So you’re saying that if I have a $1,000 account balance and set the stop loss at 10 pips, I can use 10:1 leverage with the 0.10 lots position size?

I prefer applying small amounts of leverage to each of my trades as it leaves more room for trades with a wider stop loss to avoid a higher loss of capital. Remember that a highly leveraged trade can deplete your account quickly if it goes against you.

Higher leverage is very risky but how much leverage I will use usually depends on the investment. If I want to select low leverage with a small deposit, it will be very difficult for me. I have to select leverage with a good deposit.

If anyone has found a way to beat the market then you can even use 10000x leverage. If you haven't then you will loose your money...
Test yourself open a demo account out of 30 trades if you don't loose. Then use the highest leverage...

You don’t have to be afraid of using leverage. Use trailing stops to reduce your losses when a trade goes in the wrong direction. Just see to it that your broker allows using different stops. And this is not the only advantage of these stops that I see. It so much reduces the emotion of trading and surely results in better trading decision-making.

Wouldn’t higher leverage with a higher deposit entail an even higher risk :)

Ya I agree with testing out on n number of trades on demo account first
