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?
I have a view that it all depends on our capital, and if we can trade it then laverage is not a danger, but sometimes we are less disciplined and greedy that is very dangerous for us, leverage is useful if our capital is small and dangerous for large capital

Good afternoon bro ... if I think leverage is dangerous if we cannot be consistent with each entry. My point is that if we enter the wrong lot with the 0.01 lot, the mind might be disturbed for the entry again with a bigger lot 0.05

Leverage is very useful for me who has small capital, because without leverage, the capital that we have to deposit is very large to be able to trade this forex.

there is nothing dangerous in lavarage, what is dangerous is the way we manage risk in trading, even if you take Levarage 1: 1000 but if you are trading with a good money management, then your account will remain safe.

leverage is very dangerous in my opinion. because it can interfere with the psychology of a forex trader. because it can make a huge loss if one makes a decision in the price position. I suggest still using the right Money management

leverage in my opinion is better to use the standard
usually professional traders use 100 leverage
and I tried to use leverage 100 which was very difficult to regulate my psychology
because I can't open a position excessively
indeed most professional traders always use medium and small laverage, because he knows if large laverage can trap him to carry out overtrade or over lott activities which will endanger his equities. very different from beginner traders.

Leverage is like a 2-edged sword, downward and sharply upward so if a trader doesn't pay attention to the use of leverage correctly it will hurt himself.

Choose the right leverage, not too small and not too big, adjust it with capital and skills. So leverage can be useful if properly chosen and utilized and leverage can be dangerous if wrong in applying and choosing it.
yeah, I agree, the statement is because traders who use large laverage are sometimes very good at making profits because of the large usage of lots, but the downside when experiencing minus tens of pips the account can be drained to zero ... yeah it's very sad

Leverage is useful or dangerous for trader depending on the point of view we see the use of leverage. Because leverage on the other side can be beneficial for traders who have minimal capital. With minimal capital, traders are able to make transactions beyond the actual capital security they have because of the use of such large leverage. But on the other side too, the use of large leverage also sometimes even makes traders feel that they have a large margin of resilience, so often traders subconsciously make transactions beyond their actual capital.

Depends on the capital we use if in my opinion. If we only have small capital, then laverage will be very useful, because we can potentially get large profits with small capital. but if our capital is large it is dangerous, because it can provoke our emotions to be greedy, so if large capital should be smaller laverage
yes I really agree with your opinion bro ... because if we leverage more and more we will be as greedy for entry with large lots as well.

If observed in the real world this leverage is very profitable for traders because with this leverage it helps traders to make more entries than the total capital that they deposit so that they can make more entries even if they only have a little capital. However, leverage can also kill the trader himself because it might be possible for the trader to overlot despite having high leverage without thinking about how much capital he has deposited.
