leverage from the broker is helpful for traders, but we need to be careful in choosing the leverage because leverage like a boomerang for our trading, if we are not careful in choosing leverage then we will be able to leverage that does not comply with our ability. For now I am more comfortable trading with leverage 1: 500 in fresforex? How much leverage that suits your trading?

It doesn't matter which leverage you use, I opted for 1:1000 at Hotforex because I know sometimes I need to take full risk to get most from trend.

1:1000 is quite large and higher risk and it's for micro account, the maximum leverage for standard account normally 1:500, I opted 1:200 since I don't often trade quiet large.

1:500 leverage is perfect for trading, it comes default opening account with any broker. I tried to switch the leverage to 1:200 and 1:100 at Hotforex but it yielded no positive changes so I restored it to default.
