Re: [ask] leverage
Craver is right.
What this means is that if you have $1,000 on deposit, you can open positions worth up to $100k at 100:1, or $200k at 200:1.
So, on my 100:1 account, I can open 1 full lot of EUR/USD. The 1% margin requirement would use up all of my deposit, so as soon as the market moves just 1 pip against me I would be in margin call (in reality of course, you also need to account for the spread, so would be in margin call immediately).
Hope this explains it.

Re: [ask] leverage
1:10 is for traders who experience difficulties choosing right lot size so the risks are decreased
- 1:100 is a standard leverage for traders who are able to choose appropriate lot size for a desired risk/profitability level
- 1:200 is a leverage for agressive trading - high risk and high profitability
- 1:500 is a leverage for extreme trading - the whole capital is under risk but enormous profits are possible

Re: [ask] leverage
What works best for me - open account with very high leverage (400:1 or 500:1), but use very small lot sizes. This way I can trade at 100:1 or even less if I want and I use less margin at the same time, so it's actually safer.
