There is no particular leverage that can be recommended. You must choose the right leverage ratio in accordance with your trading requirements.

I agree. Leverage is a very important issue. This helps keep the account secure.

leverage contains huge risk , so we the traders first of all have to make sure the real risk management approach , otherwise trading can be useless.

a new Forex trader should not use the leverage , because it could be dangerous . actually most of the beginners dont know its possible to trade with no leverage.

I currently scalp with them. It is a better broker for scalping compared to other ecn brokers. The spreads are surprisingly good in FP Markets. Its consistent and stable even during volatile market news events.

leverage has nothing to do with amount of money you lose per trade.as said before.i have 500 -1 leverage normally. i tried 20-1 leverage with small account and could only open 2 trades at a time at most.as most of account was taken up in margin call..16 times stop loss in fact.leverage could possibly limit trading in some cases.

Leverage is very important for forex trading. It is due to the leverage, anyone with a small capital can trade. Otherwise it would take a lot of money to trade currency.

Leverage is very important in forex trading. It allows us to trade with a small capital. Even with 1$, one can open trade in some brokers with high leverage. Though it is beneficial but one should be careful to use high leverage.

Leverage giving advantage and disadvantage too, the advantage leverage is we can open order with smallest margin requirement than actual contract size, in simple analogy, we can buy the good with value 10000 only wth money 1000, it will make a double profit if-then price arises, but losing money if price decline.

Leverage does not matter. What's important is risk management. If you know how much you risk on every trade, the leverage won't matter. I trade for a prop firm and they even use 1:200. Other firms have 1:100. Even if you use 1:30 or 1:3000, you will have the same amount of risk on each trade. Leverage matters if you are trading multiple positions at the same time. Lower leverage will allow few trades open because it will use more margin % while higher leverage allows you to open more positions.

Nice

i lose much above all when trading with high leverage , tried to bring profit very rapidly but there was no money management or any good trading plan. as a result faced a huge loss. it was my very first past experience.

Well, in my opinion, European tightening of the leverage to 1:30 is the height of stupidity, yes, you will not lose much, but you will not earn either.
For me personally, the most comfortable leverage is 1:200
