gsosay Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Hi i wanna know the difference between leverage 1:100 and 1:200. can anyone explain clearly about it? thks Quote no Guts, no Glory!
craver Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Re: [ask] leverage usinfg $1 you can control $100 and the other is $200. Quote
TacticalTrader Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 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. Quote
andrewte Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Re: [ask] leverage Start small, most full-time pro I spoke to only trade 100:1. Andy Quote

pipslovah Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 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 Quote
mopips Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 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. Quote
traderdon Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Re: [ask] leverage the more funds you have to work with the less margin you should apply as a precaution Quote
pieker Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Re: [ask] leverage I think low leverage is a good choice for biginner. Quote
paciola Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Re: [ask] leverage In a course on forex that I have attended have suggested not to use a leverage of more than 1:100. Are you right? Davide Quote

xxl205 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Re: [ask] leverage I run 1:300 on Alpari live, and adjust my trades via MM on Forex Shocker, FAPTurbo and XTREME EURCHF. Quote
