We must understand this from the beginning, so that we can understand about laverage and its uses
Many beginners are tempted to use a large laverage value without knowing the risks

leverage that is too large will prevent you from being a disciplined person on the use of lots

When you use leverage you have to take into account your capital first. Say when your capital is below 100 dollars, don't let you use a large leverage, just use a small one.

Small leverage will help us to trading carefully, and it's very good

I think leverage is very useful especially when we have little capital and we want a lot of profit in a short time.

using leverage doesn't have to be too much, just 1:500 with a capital of 1000 dollars is good

No matter how the lever doesn't matter, your opinion is correct, sir.

what must be considered is that MM of us when trading, must be regulated with good. so that a little risk and a lot of profit.

Leverage and contract size are important factors to consider in Forex trading. Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital, but it also increases the risk of losses. Choosing the appropriate contract size is crucial to managing risk and avoiding margin calls. Traders should also consider the size of their account and their risk tolerance when deciding on leverage and contract size. It's important to remember that while leverage can amplify profits, it can also magnify losses, so it should be used with caution and proper risk management techniques.

If I like high leverage like 1: 3000, but I don't use all the leverage and I only use half of it at most for the sake of my account security.
