In forex, traders use leverage to benefit from exchange rate fluctuations between two different countries. Leverage is credit given to traders by brokers who handle their foreign exchange accounts. Usually, the amount of leverage provided is 50: 1, 100: 1 or 200: 1, depending on the broker and the size of the trader's position. Standard trading is carried out on 100,000 units of currency, so to trade with this size, the leverage given is usually 50: 1 or 100: 1. Leverage 200: 1 is usually used to position $ 50,000 or less. I also don't have big capital but I use 200: 1 leverage rather than using more leverage than that. I think the best leverage for traders is 200: 1
