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?

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.

williamhayes posted:I’d say it’s high risk because high leverage magnifies the potential loss that a trader can make. For instance, you as a trader enter with a $1000 trading capital, but with high leverage, you can have the potential to lose $10,000 trading capital.AmDiab posted:Agreed and that’s why 1:3 risk reward ratio is preferred.

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.

ECN brokers can provide you a higher leverage, provided you can qualify as a professional trader.

It is essential to maintain risk in trading. If you can't maintain risk, you can never get good rewards from trading.

Marshalsam877 posted:I believe selecting the right leverage is something that entirely depends on the trader’s experience, his comfort while operating currencies, and risk tolerance level. 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.

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.

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:Truly said and what traders don’t understand is that they could make huge profits with it, but if things go downhill, it can take an ugly turn. High leverage only promises additional investment, not profit. There are numerous aspects in trading that actually chalk out whether there’ll be gains or losses. Majority of the novice traders think high leverage will reap profits and make them rich overnight.

Hey Mark, I guess that’s the difference in experienced traders and novices. For all I know, they usually use 10:1 or 20:1 on a higher side and prefer making some small trades to protect their capital. What the latter don’t understand is that to benefit the most from the leverage, so not invest the entire amount on one trade. Moving gradually and aiming for steady returns will help them.
