Leverage like 1:1000 mostly affects margin, the real danger is lot size that is too big for the stop. If you keep a fixed risk per trade (I use 1% per trade on hfm) and always place a hard stop, higher leverage does not automatically make you profitable

For beginners I usually stick to major pairs because spreads are tighter and price action is cleaner. Pick one or two pairs and study how they move across London and New York sessions

difficult to trade in here without a strategy
binaryowner replied to Jesus D. Mallory's topic in General Forex Discussions
Without a defined plan, trading becomes random, so even a simple ruleset for entry, stop, and exit is better than none. My hfm demo helps to test hypotheses, but journaling and replay testing usually teaches faster than jumping between brokers -
Introduction To Online Forex Trading
binaryowner replied to StefGrig's topic in General Forex Discussions
Regulation is a good first filter, but I would still test withdrawals and execution on a small account, not only trust the license. This is how I approach testing of any broker including my current one, hfm. Demo is great for position sizing practice, but a micro live account shows real spreads and slippage -
True, luck can make a bad approach look good for some weeks, then one big move wipes the account. The only real edge is process, small fixed risk, consistent execution, and reviewing mistakes. If someone keeps “winning” fast, I always ask what was their risk per trade

Cryptocurrencies and gold: You need to take a position
binaryowner replied to fahdforex's topic in General Forex Discussions
I also see crypto competing with gold for attention, but for me gold still works as a risk hedge when stress hits markets. I prefer having a small position on hfm in both and sizing it so I can sleep -
Capping risk at 1 percent makes sense, because it keeps you alive during bad weeks. I also like the idea to reduce risk after a losing streak, but do you use a fixed rule like cut size by half after X losses?

Before you download any system, ask for full rules and real results, because many shared files are repacked or not same version. In my experience it is better to learn the logic behind levels, then you can rebuild it on your chart without depending on a link
-
As a beginner I did best starting with majors like EURUSD and USDJPY due to tighter spreads and cleaner fills, then moved to a small live after a long demo. If you are in the US the broker rules and leverage limits matter a lot, so pick a regulated one and size small
-
In my own trading with hfm I survived only after I capped risk at 1% per idea and cut position size when my equity curve dipped. The edge is in staying alive, not swinging big

Introduction to Fundamental Analysis...
binaryowner replied to StefGrig's topic in General Forex Discussions
I use fundamentals on hfm to pick direction and technicals to pull the trigger. Rate expectations and labor data set my weekly bias, but entries still come at levels with clear invalidation so I can keep risk small -

binaryowner replied to Jesus D. Mallory's topic in General Forex Discussions
I learned the hard way with hfm that trading without a written plan just makes me chase candles and cut winners early. After I fixed risk per trade and tested entries on demo first, my losses got smaller and I finally saw consistency -
Babypips’ Pipsology plus a small demo account helped me build muscle memory; I logged 100 sample trades before touching live money. As a non-native speaker and newbie, this routine reduced confusion a lot

From my experience, starting with major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY) is wise because of liquidity and tighter spreads, then focus on strict risk management. If you’re in the U.S., broker choice and leverage rules matter a lot—demo first, then small live once your plan is consistent
-
From execution logs I’ve analyzed across brokers, stop entries around CPI/NFP slip ~2–3x more than passive limits. I now either trade the second leg with limits or widen max slippage and colocate a VPS. What do your HFM stop-vs-limit stats look like?
