uncle gober Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Spread and leverage are two important factors for traders to choose brokers. It's very important to choose only the best forex broker which would have attractive leverage (:100 or 1:200, 1:500 ), because such sites can be scam). We need to invest our money only into most trusted Forex brokers. otherwise, you can loose all your investments. Every new forex trader should choose one of the best and most attractive brokers and he should work only with one broker at first. How about you? Quote
TenkoFx Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Tight spreads are very necessary if a trade wish to make long term profits on platform. The brokers that offer very tight spreads are ECN/STP. now I trade on an ECN broker ( TenkoFx ) that has a tight spreads with small commission Quote
myregister Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Well higher leverage is fine for traders who seek higher lot size to spend. This is normal to have higher leverage since forex itself already has high risk. As for spread the tight spread is a must because this is another problem if getting wider, just information at the moment i am with 1:400 leverage and my account still fine. Quote
TenkoFx Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Leverage and the spread is one of the ways that make our trading can be comfortable, I use the leverage of 1: 500 and use a lot of the smallest since I use a small capital in my broker now Quote
standart Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 leverage enabling us to start trading with small capital. its form of loan margin. though we are trade with small capital, profit and loss same like if we are trade with big capital. when we are has no good knowledge and strategy, we will able to make our small capital raises high.

Leverage and Spread has indirect connection, so it is just like other terms to the others. But leverage could give you temptation to get higher lot size which also could increase your total spreads.

uncle gober Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 leverage and spreads and margins are very important in forex trading because this term determines the trading position. The use of leverage should also be tailored to the ability of capital. because small capital so now I use the leverage of 1: 500 with very low spreads given by tickmill Quote
standart Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 when we are trade by use big leverage ratio, mean that we should prepared with big capital. small capital does not enabling us to trade with big margin size or with big leverage ratio. we should choose to use small leverage ratio, such as 1:50 or 1:100.

uncle gober Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 The spread is a key part of any financial market. If you have done Forex trading before, then you have probably noticed that there are two types of prices – an ask price that is used when you buy the asset, and a bid price that is used when you sell the asset. Usually, there is a small difference between these prices – this different is called the spread. leverage will help traders to improve the balance so it can trade using small lots and spread helps traders to be able to get the difference between bid and ask prices are small. Now I am trying to combine the advantages provided by the broker Tickmill with a leverage of 1: 500 and Spreads from 0 pips Quote
myregister Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Well i think that mostly traders already know about this isn't it? Leverage give us more power by leveraging our current equity to the higher places, we can buy $1000 for $10 or even lower for higher leverage, I don't see much connection with spreads but spreads should be affected our trading too. Quote
uncle gober Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 In trading, the leverage should be tailored to the needs of traders and trading management system that will be used. I like to trade in a way scalping, therefore I use the leverage of 1: 500 with low spreads in the TICKMILL Quote
pepy Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I dont' see much correlation between this two at the moment, leverage is leverage and spreads is spreads to me. Spread actually is our cost while leverage is the amount of money that we "borrow" from broker in order to increase our purchasing power from total capital that we got Quote
aliforex Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I dont' see much correlation between this two at the moment, leverage is leverage and spreads is spreads to me. Spread actually is our cost while leverage is the amount of money that we "borrow" from broker in order to increase our purchasing power from total capital that we got Yes, because both are different thing. Leverage will help us to trade although we only have small capital in our trading account and spread is the difference between bid and ask and usually it's earning source of broker. Quote
myregister Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Leverage and spreads according to my knowledge does not have much correlation to each others, it is more like separate entity that connected with total amount of lot size that you use. But those two will play a bigger role in your trading. Leverage is the key to access higher lot size without need to sacrifice your deposit so much, while spreads is your initial expense when you open a position. Quote
gaban Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 leverage is helpful for traders because of the leverage that we will be able to trade using a small capital, therefore we need to use good leverage. For the moment I am more comfortable trading with a leverage of 1: 1000. with high leverage will have a great opportunity Quote

The use of small capital in the forex business is highly recommended for beginners and novice traders should indeed use the minimum deposit offered by the broker. But make sure that we have the knowledge that can be applied in a real account. I suggest to use Video Tutorialto learn basic forex Quote

For me leverage and spreads are thing that we can not split each other, as we know it spreads influence on what we should spend while leverage help us to get bigger lot size is not it? With knowing both of these factors you can calculate risk. Quote
gaban Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 For now, I am more comfortable trading with leverage 1: 1000 in instaforex. By trading using high leverage it will give us the opportunity to trade well. For that, try to utilize of leverage from brokers Quote
pepy Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Well to me 1:1000 is overleveraging, how can it a broker risky their money to a small traders and offers them that high, usually at 1:500 brokers already have problem or restricting a trader to use higher lot size. As for spreads each brokers seems competitive to me. Quote
uncle gober Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Leverage in accordance with the criteria of the trader would be very useful if applied in trading. now I use leverega 1: 500 in TICKMILL by using deposit 25$. In accordance with the system of money management to use then I would use a maximum of 0.05 lots per trade Quote
myregister Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 It is a big loss for trader also for the broker. To be honest i rarely see an experienced trader that trade with such a high leverage. Usually only 1:100 or 1:200 no matter what kind of technique that they are using since they know that leverage isn't something you should playing with. Quote
uncle gober Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 The real answer to the question of how much leverage to use is “the amount that allows you to trade the position size that matches your allowable per trade risk.”. Now i use leverage 1:500 on TICKMILL Quote
gaban Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 leverage in forex trading, it is very profitable for traders because of the leverage we will be able to trade using small capital. so that we will be even greater chance, therefore we need to utilize leverage well Quote
pepen supendi Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 using leverage well, a small capital will be put to good use, but it also must be the correct handling. if wrong bit, can get MC and mental became the stakes Quote
gaban Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 trading using high leverage will allow us to trade with the maximum. therefore, we need to be more careful in choosing leverage for trading. we can use a demo account to test out the leverage to be used for trading and therefore we will be able to get proper leverage Quote
