Need to know the truth

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.

risk is everywhere in Forex its a very common thing , there is no one who can deny but if you have proper money and risk management then within a very short time you can bring good amount of profit from here.
Agreed and that’s why 1:3 risk reward ratio is preferred. I also believe trading on leverage is a safe bet. Correct me if I’m wrong.

true that there are rules and regulations that a forex roker need to follow offshore brokers can provide you with extra leverage but it is all risky..

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.
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.

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.

Wait!! Isn’t negative balance protection provided by the brokers?? I thought that was a given.
No true broker will give you a negative balance protection. If your broker makes money from commissions and not from being a counter-party for your trades, he can't cover your negative balance as your losses don't go into his pocket.

Regulated brokers generally give low leverage because of the regulations and policies they have

Leverage helps keep the account secure. It is very difficult to gain trading profit. If you cannot maintain the loss ratio properly, it is impossible to make a profit.

Yes there are some compliance that have to be followed by forex brokers. But choosing one of the brokers is a very important task. I would recommend that shortlist some of the brokers and make comparisons between them.

Every trader should also do that. Increasing lot size without proper measurement is kind of suicide in my opinion.
True that..

I can second that since I’ve been using XM and Fxview’s ECN too. The spreads are tight and the leverage is also fine. I try to keep the leverage low but then for some particular trades, it is got to be high. I mean if you’re not risking much, you won’t earn more profits, right?
