well really my dear, In fact I really found that leverage has a big advantage in forex trading with leverage You can trade in larger amounts even by having small capital with you, like you if you have 10 $ and you use leverage as much $ 100 then you can trade with $ 1000 for sure. and leverage only determines the minimum and maximum lot sizes taken by traders. If you use higher leverage, you can take a lot of high size, but if you use small leverage, the lot size also decreases. A trader should not use high leverage so he faces less risk.
