They can but some of them may require you to answer some questions before they make a decision to provide you with 1:200 leverage. The reason is they don't want their traders to lose more than what they have in their accounts and this usually only happens with leverage of more than 1:100. In general your assumption is correct, no good broker will give you 1:300 - 1:500 leverage as your loss doesn't go into their pocket and it is always a hassle to get money from clients to cover their negative balance.

This you can say is a high leveraged market where you can put down a deposit of $1000 to trade $10,000. Now this is 100:1 leverage factor. What you need to understand here is that 1 pip loss in a 100:1 ratio is $10. So, if you put 10 mini lots in a trade, you’ll lose 50 pips and your loss will be $500 and not $50.

jamesmaxwell52 posted:true that there are rules and regulations that a forex roker need to follow offshore brokers can provide you with extra leverage but it is all risky..
I have been exploring articles and discussions and found that a real ECN broker can’t provide leverage more than 1:100. Is this even correct?

Beginners should however familiarize themselves with the jargons and build some experience in keeping small positions, using trailing stops, and restricting the capital amount for each position.williamhayes posted:Let me try explaining it to you in numbers. I agree with @gareylinn509. If you decide to use hgh leverage, say 50:1, and purchase 5 standard lots, each one pip movement will cost you $50. In case the trader goes against the investor by 50 pips, the investor would end up losing $2500 which will be 25% of the total $10,000 trading account.AmDiab posted:Agreed and that’s why 1:3 risk reward ratio is preferred.

jamesmaxwell52 posted:No it isn’t. I mean it does depend on your broker or your country, but real ECN brokers can in fact offer you more than that, even though you don’t have to use that.

jamesmaxwell52 posted:No true broker will give you a negative balance protection. If your broker makes money from commissions and not from being a counter-party for your trades, he can't cover your negative balance as your losses don't go into his pocket.rgakalo posted:Wait!! Isn’t negative balance protection provided by the brokers?? I thought that was a given.

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.

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.

That is somewhat right. I usually don’t go very high with the leverage since I feel it is kind of risky.

Leverage helps keep the account secure. It is very difficult to gain trading profit. If you cannot maintain the loss ratio properly, it is impossible to make a profit.

Well, I have been using an ECN broker and I can tell you that I haven’t faced such issues with them so far.

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.
