Let's see how that works out.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.
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.

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.

If you want to trade, you must control the risk. And the best way to control this risk is to select low leverage.

That’s not true. There are so many ECN brokers that offer leverage more than 1:100. Some ECN brokers that I have already been using include ICM and Fxview and they offer quite high leverage. You need to go for their offshore option if you want to use high leverage.

The ECN brokers that I have used so far have offered me 1:500 leverage on average. So, I don’t think there is any truth in what you are saying.

You really need to do some more research on offshore brokers. There is no limit to the leverage that an ECN broker can offer. It is their choice and they set the limit according to their own conditions.

Just because your broker is offering high leverage doesn’t mean that you have to use it. You must use leverage in accordance with what you can afford to lose.

Mathewshayden posted:Simply to increase the scope of profit and who wouldn’t do that? Imagine having $100 and then the prospect of investing $100,000 because of leverage. Your chances or profitability will also rise up.Lycineandrew posted:Yeah it can be a bit risky. I don’t know why people use such a high leverage, at least I’m not a risk taker.
That is somewhat right. I usually don’t go very high with the leverage since I feel it is kind of risky.

One line for high leverage- big profits can end up being smaller, and small losses can turn out to be bigger. How many of us actually have the understanding of stopping when the prices are moving away from the predictions?

It's not possible to make consistent profit by following signals, no matter what technology or website they use. At the end you are going to lose your money. It's just waste of time and money.

Well, lesson learnt but what you need to know is that there are many accredited brokers like fxview, instaforex, forex.com who offer leverage starting from 1:50 to 1:1000. Choose wisely.
