leverage is very helpful, if there is no leverage, it is certain that many traders cannot transact with the small funds they have because leverage is a capital booster.

I just didn't realize that leverage has an effect on trading, when I found out that the greater the leverage, the more risky it will be, so I am now careful in choosing leverage.

Sometimes leverage will be profitable but it can also be detrimental because basically leverage has 2 different sides, one side of the risk and the other side of the advantage.

My advice is that if you use leverage, don't overdo it, it is indeed dangerous, even though you have large capital but too much leverage is still dangerous.

leverage is one of our main needs in trading because with leverage we can trade with small capital.

leverage really helps my trading because I can use minimal capital to trade and get big profits without using big capital.

leverage can be dangerous and can also be profitable depending on who uses the leverage and depending on how the trader conducts trades properly.

Leverage is very profitable in forex trading, but it can also be dangerous if not careful in using it, especially when using very high leverage (over-leverage). High leverage will result in the minimum margin or minimum guarantee being paid every time there are fewer transactions. Whether we realize it or not, the risk of leverage often strikes beginners who aspire to get rich quick from trading.

Leverage has 2 different sides where if a trader does not use it properly it can be dangerous and vice versa if a trader uses it well, the leverage will be profitable.

It is very risky and dangerous if the leverage is not regulated, many brokers now provide very large leverage even up to 1: 3000

Utilization to use leverage is calculated and balanced with capital, although high leverage can have a good impact, we also have to know the big risks from using too large a leverage.

In my opinion, large leverage is not a problem, as long as it is made safe by stop losses so that losses do not swell.
and number of orders is still within a reasonable level.

Leverage must be used wisely because if it is not used it will be self-defeating because leverage is large, there is also a big risk.

leverage is quite dangerous in my opinion so we have to choose the ideal leverage, the smaller the leverage, the better.

useful if we use it wisely, many traders are complacent because of the large leverage but small capital causes them to dissolve in the market and eventually make them lose
