Question about leverage

This is a really newbie question.
Do I pick leverage or is it just assigned to me by my broker?
I’m using g Onanda?
I understand the concept of leverage but do I pick it per each trade?

Oanda will assign you a leverage percentage, but you can change this if you want to

When you added a leverage then you’ll get this facility on your every trade;

It’s margin requirements and overnight swap (interest) rates that are leverage limitations, each broker has its’ own account types; some of which offer more or less leverage.

The more leverage a broker offers the better but anything more than 100x isn’t necessary for most retail traders.

Agree; anything like the word of “over” is dangerous; like over-trading, over-lots and same terminology for trading leverage.

And over-zealous.

Of course, it is! More dangerous for sure.
