It seems to me that the risks associated with leverage does not depend on its size, it depends on how willing you are to work with it.

From my experience most brokers will shut you down if Marvin gets to low and take that issue away from you.

From what I have heard and experienced, it is somewhat true. A high leverage can increase the risk per trade but it also opens up doors for any potential return.

The risk does not depend on the size of the leverage, it depends on your skill.

High leverage means high risk. Try to avoid that risk if you are a new trader.

I work with leverage, the size of which is 1: 1000, and I can say that I do not consider this to be the maximum risk and some kind of thoughtless step, this, on the contrary, is exactly what makes it possible to really earn on such scheme.

High leverage always contains high risk. However, it can be reduced.

Yes high leverage means high risk. That's why every trader should have a risk management plan. Otherwise he won't be able to stay in the market.

Of course high leverage means high risk. But even with high leverage you can manage your risk by following strict risk management system.

That's right, you need to look not at where there are risks, but you need to learn how to manage them, so you can work with whatever you want.

In forex, traders often use high leverage because it allows them to control a lot of money with relatively little capital. But high leverage also carries a risk – it magnifies losses as well as gains. Always use proper risk management to minimize these effects.

Leverage is a double edged sword. Traders often get carried away with high leverage. They end up taking more risk and blow their account at the end. It must be chosen with high care. At the beginning, I would recommend that you choose 1:50 to 1:100 leverage. I am wishing you all the very best.

It's true without any 'but'. If there is a high leverage, then there is a very high risk, because if you will make an occasional move, then you cna lose everything you had. In my opinion, leveraging is good actually, but in the right hands. Undoubtedly that you can lose everything, however we should remember that you have an opportunity to earn much more money than you would earn without leverage. I believe this thing drives traders crazy. That's why they start uncosciously make weird moves, open weird deals and lose their money. Remember that everything in trading is required a right and proper approach.

Leverage, which is the use of borrowed money to invest, is very common in forex trading. By borrowing money from a broker, investors can trade larger positions in a currency. However, leverage is a double-edged sword, meaning it can also magnify losses. Choose a best Forex Expert.

leverage is like a double edged sword so it should be used in a wise manner.

It's true on hundred percents actually. The higher leverage you choose the more risks you have to take on yourself. Be careful with leverages because they can easily devastate and blow your account and you will be left without money. It's a good instrument, but it's pretty dicey.

It depends on the person using the leverage. If you are being sensible and using correct lot sizes then you will just be using less margin for the same trade. But if you are then why do you need the leverage. Unfortunately higher leverage tends to be utlisied by those who over trade and use lot sizes far bigger than their account can handle and without a sensible strategy in place.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.
