The amount of leverage that we use will definitely increase the level of risk, trading with leverage that does not control the number of orders will lose control of the trade which is too burdened by order positions that are more than capital strength.

use balanced leverage supported by good techniques, is the right combination.
choosing the leverage itself is important before implementing certain strategies, for example strategies to maximize profit targets by trailing stops and so on, so both are quite important.

We should do our trading with a Lower leverage settings so that we can earn profits from our trades and make money.

Leverage is a choice that we have to plan and take into account so that no mistakes occur or we have difficulty gaining profit if the leverage is not appropriate.

Leverage and risk are closely related, the use of leverage must be selective with the level of capital you have.
The average trader fails because of wrong money management.

Large leverage is very risky, but if it is used incorrectly, if used correctly, large leverage will actually be very helpful in trading, because we can use small capital for trading.

Leverage used means increasing margin power, leverage x capital. 
If leverage 1: 500 with a capital of $ 500 means that we are like trading with $ 250,000. 
Increase the power to generate large profits and increase the risk as well.

For me leverage can be very detrimental but can be very profitable, depending on how we use it, if it is used with the correct understanding and trading knowledge it will be very helpful and profitable, on the contrary if it is used carelessly it will be very detrimental

For me leverage is the reason why forex trading is such a fun business, because with limited capital I can get a very big profit, because forex trading with leverage can be affordable to anyone, if there is no large leverage forex trading can only be done by those who have a lot of money

Leverage should be good because it literally means helping a job.
Something that makes our work easier as a job tool for trading forex.
so if you use it correctly, the tool works well, but if you use it with a lot that is too large, it must be detrimental.

It depends on the user or each trader in using leverage and using the appropriate lot or not, if the lot is large to get a large profit even though it can increase the risk of loss and that is not good.
so prepare money management properly to support our actions in forex trading.

As in the previous discussion, leverage has positive and negative values, the user is the determinant of the leverage function, so trade with an emphasis on account security with realistic trading targets without having to use too large lots.

Leverage like the as double edge of swords should use wisely during trading, but leverage also useful for start trading small capital because with high leverage allows the trader to open bigger position size with the smallest margin requirement, but its narrowed margin level to withstand movement, and possible quickly reach margin level threshold as margin call level.

Regarding leverage, it is nothing but a system to multiply a capital, in its own use it must be fully supported by skills in money management, because with mm you can manage all forms of trading risks that can occur.
