leverage should be chosen based on the strategy and also the size of the capital in order to easily determine the transaction later

High leverage will cause the minimum margin or minimum guarantee to be paid each time the transaction is less

Forex brokers usually have leverage in forex trading.
The function of leverage, is that a relatively small increase in funds can make transactions with a much larger contract value.

Example:
Brokers who apply 1: 100 leverage, then you only need a fund of $ 100 to make a transaction worth $ 10,000. The $ 100 money is called margin, while the transaction value of $ 10,000 is called Contract Size. That is, the capital you need is only 1%.
leverage is based on main capital for leverage 1: 100 calculation of contract size does increase by 100.

leverage must be chosen according to capital and strategy if the contract size is chosen according to capital.

High leverage is basically profitable, because the minimum margin value that you pay for each transaction is less

although it can be a lot of profit but also the ones that take are also big for big leverage.

By using excessively high leverage, beginner traders easily underestimate risk because they "feel" supported by large capital to open many positions.

Leverage is indeed the main attraction in forex trading. Brokers compete to offer the highest leverage possible. You must be careful and not use too much leverage.

before we trade we have to make a trading plan which contains calculations of all risk management including the number of lots and also the leverage that will be used.

What is the appropriate amount of leverage depends only on our desire to trade with only large transactions? Or should it be adjusted to the size of the capital?

so the amount we can trade is in accordance with leverage, for detailed calculations I know. thank you

actual leverage depends on utilization. If you are wise to use leverage, even with high levels that are considered dangerous though, you do not need to worry about the risk of quickly getting hit by the Margin Call

To lower your risk in Forex, you can lower your leverage, remember : the higher leverage you choose, the higher risk that you will get. choose broker that offers you leverage start from 1:100 until 1:500, it is good for your funds. don't trade with broker that offers you leverage higher than 1:2000 (example = 1:2000, etc.) 1:2000 is the best (maximum) leverage you should choose

Be careful, Exness offers you 1:3000 leverage, it's dangerous, Exness breaks their regulator's rule, allegedly scam !
