Leverage can make or break you. I've always heard it referred to as a double-edged sword, which I'm sure has been mentioned here already. For beginners, I think the risk factor of blowing your account thanks to high leverage is even more so. I've even seen surveys where many professional traders say they stick to a leverage of around 1:100. That being said, I still think it's great to be offered the option to use high leverage, but you have to decide if it's right for you.

Yes, high leverage entails both high risk and high reward. It is important to understand how to use it wisely.
