My friend in forex trading the most important part of the forex trading account is setting up leverage ratio. I think for the new trader low leverage and those who are really experienced then can use 1:400 or more leverage setting But I use low leverage setting. Leverage means you get features to create bigger position with small margin money available. But using leverage needs a skill as it is an art. So when you are having small margin money then you can choose higher leverage to create a bigger position but should take decision wisely, until unless you have expertise to recognize the market trend it is not wise to use higher leverage. So you either big profit if market goes in favor of your position and you face big loss if market goes against your position.
