I Think Leverage is a two-edged sword that magnifies both gains and hazards at the same time. Traders must never trade if they are not clear about the trade.
According to me, leverage has its own risks and profits, it is determined by the amount of leverage a trader uses, new traders should avoid using excessive leverage and the same applies to experienced traders when they are unsure about their trades.
I think this dependence needs to be understood even before you begin to fully use it in your work.
Leverage increases a trader’s earning per share. However, leverage has its own pros and cons because the use of leverage can increase both profit and risk. That is why, new traders, in my opinion, should avoid using excessive leverage.
Given the current state of the market, I try to be as careful as possible in trading. I think this is worth paying attention to.
Leverage allows traders to open larger positions with relatively smaller amounts. Though with the increase in leverage probability of profits increases and so does the probability of risks of losing simultaneously.
I have always been sure that this model is more than understandable. Although, as a whole, I always tried to minimize risks.
To be honest, now I try to risk as little as possible - I want to protect myself.
If you want to start trading small amounts, I suggest 1:500
Leverage should be used wisely. So,I would advise newbie traders to start with moderate leverage and gradually increase their leverage as they gain experience in forex. And for the more experienced traders,it’s okay to go for higher leverage but be very cautious.
Leverage is very dangerous thing for newbies because there is a high chance of an incorrect use. Without proper calculations you will likely be knocked out too often from a position if u use high leverage.
Leverage, from the one side, opens new opportunities for trading, from another side affects your risk management practices. As a rule, the most part of newcomers either understand that leverages might be harmful for your deposit or they just try to use the maximum leverage in order to earn as much money as they can, at the same time, they don’t care about risk management at all. That’s why it’s recommended not to trade with leverages at all, or trade with them, realizing all the risks which you have to take on yourself
In my opinion, leverage trading might be beneficial only in case it’s in the right hands, when a trader uses wise approach to leverages and never take more than 5-10x. That’s why leverages affect the risks.
Leverage is just like a double sided knife, it has profits and loss on either of the sides. If you’re an experienced trader then only I would advise you to use leverage and newbies should stay away from it else you’ll face losses. The higher the leverage, the more you’re exposed to risks. So if you’re not very certain do not trade in such a situation.
You can try this in a demo account first and then see how it works. Your queries can only be solved by practically implementing the strategy.
The risk that you take on increases with the amount of leverage you apply to your capital.

I agree, risks keep on expanding with the amount of leverage one takes. I believe leverage is directly proportional to risk.
