I think laverage has the benefit of being an account resilience. If laverage is large we can open many transactions simultaneously but the risk increases. And if we use a small number of entry positions that are done a little, the account is quite safe.

I am more inclined to use small laverage only because so that the account is safe from the margin call.
some people also usually take small risks even though the profits obtained are also small but there are also those who take big risks to get big profits, then leverage plays a very important role in supporting very active trading activities, or supporting techniques that use martiangle.

leverage if the loan is a loan from the broker, the greater the leverage, the margin (loan capital) we will be more related to the number of transactions that we can open, the more the margin, the more we can open the position, why brokers can lend capital to us? yes because we press guarantees which are our deposits, meaning that the guarantee runs out, our account cannot transact again which means our account is MC.

So do you think leverage is useful or dangerous?
beneficial if we can maximize leverage to trade and we understand in using it, it is dangerous if we look for large leverage for the purpose of many open positions without seeing equity

I think, the greater the leverage, the more dangerous it will be for our account. Because if we don't calculate MM well, it will end with a margin call. So my advice should be to use a maximum leverage of 1: 100. To keep our MM healthy
Indeed, large leverage will be very dangerous if our capital is large. But it will be very helpful if our capital is small, because with this small capital we can have the opportunity to open positions and have the opportunity to make a profit

can be dangerous or useful depending on our management and analysis.
if we do not consider our capital and open a position with a large laverage, it will be very dangerous, because very little the market moves against our open position then the MC will occur.

but if our management calculations are very good, and do open positions in accordance with our laverage abilities.
it will be very useful.

For me, Leverage is very useful, because leverage is helping me to open position with big lot and minimum deposit. So you guys, I recommend you to trading with FreshForex, open your account with 1:2000 leverage. It is amazing, and feel the different.

It depends on our wisdom in using it. Because if we use it in an inconsequential manner, a large laverage will actually speed us up for a margin call, but if we can be wise in using it, a large laverage will be very helpful

but still have to be careful when using large leverage, especially those who are still beginners in forex because they may not be able to implement good money management, it must be remembered that forex is the most active market in the world and high risk if it is not managed properly.

but I suggest for beginners including me to trade with small leverage because beginners will be greedy when profit and when loss will arise a sense of revenge that causes overtrade.

That's right, therefore if a beginner wants to use a real account but does not have enough capital or a minimum capital equivalent, then you should use a cent account so you can use large laverage

it'll be useful and dangerous i think, it will be useful if we know the market trend and gain some big profit, it will be a dangerous if we make max lot in trading.

Please permission to comment, in my opinion the use of leverage depends on the trader itself, if someone uses good and correct money management then leverage will function positively, whereas if the trader does not use money management that will either result in loss or even a margin call
indeed for the use of laverage every trader will not be the same, but the use of laverage that is too large compared to it will be dangerous, because the ordinary trader will be trapped in a dangerous overtrade, they often forget the risk of the overtrade.

if professional traders can certainly set up the name of money management so no matter how leverage will be a problem, but for newbe there needs to be rules / limitations in trading activities, namely in the form of leverage.

Leverage should not be too big and not too small. Good leverage is 1: 200 or 1: 500.

but most professional traders usually tend to use medium or minimal laverage, but return to the type of trader too, because each trader will not be the same as the skile and the type.
