With 1:500 aren't you worried that a spike in the price could cause massive losses? I read that you can lose more than your deposit, doesn't that mean that if you enter a 1 Lot trade and it blows through your stop loss you can loss everything on your account and then the broker can come after you for more money.
You should be worried if you made the mistake to trade more than 0.01 lot for every 1000 in balance.
Leverage of 1:500 is perfect to help you pass through long periods of DD, it is not to trade 1 lot with 1-200 or even 1000 as balance.

I think when they trade with tiny deposits it is not a problem, and usually only low-grade brokers provide leverages 1:500 and more. Such kind of brokers doesn't have a power to make clients give their extra losses back to the broker.

Hey guys , about leverage
If I have 1:500 leverage and use 0.1 for each 10k , is it the same for example if I have leverage 1:250 and use 0.05 for each 10k ?.. is all conditions and margin and free margin the same or it doesn't work like that ?

Doesn't work like that. A 0.1 Lot trade is the same on a 1:1 leverage or a 1:1000 leverage. You are still buying (or selling ) 0.1 Lot. The leverage will only affect how much money you need in your account in order to trade 0.1 Lot (this is the margin)

I mean the same margin and level or margin
In your example the margin used would be the same. There are many margin calculators on the web that you can find and use to check anything you need about margin and leverage. I find them very helpful

I also think, 1:500 is an aggressive trading leverage! Money management is the key in trading industry.

I don’t believe the broker will ever come after you got money no. It don’t work like that you just blow the account.

Basically, the intention of market maker broker is killing the trader’s equity even providing aggressive trading features like bonus and leverage! So, traders should be aware of their trading plan.

Its ok if you have 1:500 leverage or even biger that doesn't mean you have to use it to trade big lot sizes.
If you are a signal follower then you should pay attention signal provider leverage if its high leverage the signal provider is able to do big lot sizes and that you should be considered when selecting the signal

It’s a good point; yes I see number of traders missed out that point; they only focus on the return unless focusing on others important parameters.

which leverage is more appropriate for beginners level , it depends on trading conditions , if trading in a demo 1:10 is comfortable and in live i don't support to use leverage , because it contains huge risk for all time.

Many experts suggest not to trade with high leverage, but In order to me, if traders have confidence with their trading strategy and high amount of money in deposit account, surely they can choose high leverage ratio because it will give them no problem. But if have small balance deposit only while trading system is not too good , small leverage ratio could help traders minimize the ratio.

leverage is irrelevant really. leverage will determine the maximum Lot size you can open but really your risk should be focused on using an appropriate Lot size. Even with a huge leverage account you can use a small lot size. I prefer this way to trade, High leverage but lot lot

i have seen most of the traders above all beginners level consider high leverage as a much risk but i don't consider it , if there is any risk it is completely with non-sense planing with zero risk management plan.

Leverage can also refer to the amount of debt a firm uses to finance assets. When one refers to a company, property or investment as 'highly leveraged,'

which leverage is more appropriate for demo trading can anyone make sure ? according to me, 1:50 is best.

For avoiding risk I always use 1:100 leverage in spite of having up to leverage 1:2000 , actually leverage is an important financial tool which always contains risk , so it is better if we avoid using high leverage in real account.

Money management is very important. In example i`m using 1-2% for each trade and using 1:500 leverage.
