Leverage is indeed very helpful for getting bigger forex trading profits, but it will be very dangerous if we use too much leverage that is not balanced with capital.

Use leverage facility changes the relatively small funds or capital so that they can make transactions with a much larger contract value, so that the capital is multiplied as well as the profit and risk will increase according to the use of leverage used.

Of course, leverage have positive and negative values, depending on how we use it.
Many cases traders open multiple trades and lose because the leverage is too high.
Leverage & check size should be taken into account on the resilience of our capital.

In my opinion, leverage is quite important because it is related to our trading security, if the contract size is usually set in the trading plan since the beginning we started trading.

We must calculate and determine the leverage and contract size according to the capital we have so that it is easier for us to use the strategies we have.

Every currency pair has a calculation, we must know the contract size and adjust the leverage used.
Sometimes novice traders don't know that the value of a currency with a high contract size cannot be traded if the capital is small or the leverage is too small.

before we make transactions in forex, we usually have to think about the leverage we will use and calculate the contract size or lot size that we will use for transactions.

Leverage must and must be calculated with capital, the choice of leverage has a big impact on trading and determines contraction on each transaction so that it is not too over.

See the benefits of leverage, if without a leverage system our capital will not be enough to open trades with a large quantity of lots.
From these benefits we should be really wise in using leverage so as not to end up a loss.

leverage and contract size are 2 terms that traders should know, especially traders who are just learning to trade because these two things will play an important role in account selection and risk management calculations.

In trading we really must always calculate the leverage selection that we will use, because it will regard the comfort of our trading later, in my opinion for the security of use the smallest laverage
