TacticalTrader Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipslovah Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopips Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
