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?

Suggestions appreciated.

The use of leverage that brokers offer in principle makes sense, you should be a little prepared and learn all the nuances of how it works.

Technically leverage helps you to gain more but the problem with them is that you can also lose completely

I hear about it being a double-edged sword and all, but without it, I doubt I will be able to gather anything.

Leverage does help in multiplying your profits but don't forget that losses will also be in multiples which is why it needs proper understanding of how it works. So, it’s better to learn about it’s concept first.
I have no intentions of jumping the gun, but when I do go live, I wanna know if one should start with all of their own capital or use little bit of leverage

Leverage sure is a double-edged sword, but without leverage trading would not bring in any scalable results. That is unless you have heaps of money to invest. How much would a movement of a few pips give on 3 or 4k. That also might be considered a big amount for a lot of current investors in the market. Considering most are part-timers, and some even college lads.
Had it not been for leverage, I would have stopped after meagre earnings. Still trading solely because of high leverage.

In order for it not to be so costly, you need to correctly, correctly calculate and prescribe in your trading plan.

The higher the leverage, the higher the risk. So it is very important to be careful about leverage.

Ya and that’s why my plan as of now is based on risk management, every decision revolves around it, including leverage.

Certainly! I am devoting maximum time on my risk management part of the trading plan. Not planning on risking more than 1%, and going to maintain a ratio of 1:3 for using leverage. Hopefully I’m on the right track.

right now i am using high leverage most of the time in demo ,
it supports me to avoid unfortunate risk and losses when trading in a real account.

I don’t get it! Did you actually mean you are using “high leverage” which is keeping you safe????

You’ve just echoed my thoughts, without margin trading I doubt I will be able to make any money here. Thanks for the motivation :)

I think when newbies enter the live forex market, they want to book more profits with very small amounts, so leverage attracts them. But it should be kept in mind that leverage is associated with a certain amount of risk. While it can push your trades to make profits also at the same time it can put you in loss which is even more than your balance you have. When I started, I used to look for a 1:30 leverage ratio with a minimal balance that I can handle. This keeps my risk minimal. You can gradually increase your leverage ratio depending upon your earnings and understanding.

I understand, and so I am not going to rush into any trade. I will start with safe pairs like EURUSD and then try my hands with other pairs.

There is no fixed amount which is right for using leverage. Using leverage seriously depends on your ability to take risk and how much you can afford to lose. PNL calculators are fine way of assessing your risk per trade. You’ll find this calculator with most brokers - XM, FxPro.
