Been watching, listening, and paying attention to all of predictions and forecasts since early Covid. He hasn't disappointed yet 👌

A big advantage of having higher leverage with a smaller account is you can have more positions open at one time. If you have 50:1 leverage you're gonna run out of available margin after opening a few trades even if you are risking just 2 percent of your account on each trade. While you're in those trades you're gonna miss out on trades you could have taken if you had more leverage.

[o.d]

So in a nutshell are you saying that

Leverage = Determines your level of margin provided by the broker e.g. 1/500 = 0.2% Margin
Leverage = Determines the amount of lots your allowed to use on your account,

With that being said i think your leverage is irrelevant if your always risking the right amount, 2-4% etc.. or even 1%

its been months trying to understn leverage. this is the most simpler way to understand. thnx.

[gallanonim]

Very nice video, I am also in this unpopular group of people because despite active 1:500 leverage on my account - thank to ratio of my positions to my deposit on my account my leverage I use is 1:5 to 1:15 and it works really well.... I feel really safe seeing most of the time max drawdown max Thank to that In can make nice 10-15% a month and that is more than enough for me.

In my opnion i dnt think a bigger leverage is the problem...the problem is when you try to control a larger volume coz that increases $ per pip which will then blow your account if the trade goes against you just a few pips...what we can take from this is that, LEVERAGE is irrelavent as long as you apply PROPER RISK MANAGEMENT & you are consistent with it...

[farzadahmadi]

I just want to mention Smt when you get a higher leverage it dosent matter as long as your lot size is low like 0.01 it dosent matter is you have 1:100 or 1:1000 if your are trading at 0.01 lot the difference is that it lets you to increase your lot size How? by decreasing your margin

[surindashinde]

Watch 10 videos to understand what is leverage, Nick you are a top man and made me understand in 5min, thanks you 👍

[Cornjulio]

Thanks for the info! Just what I was looking for!

What if the only reason the swings are dramatic is because its offshore brokerage? What if I sign up for a regulated broker that offers 1:unlimited would the swings still be drastic or no considering it’s regulated?

[Metal-fypz]

Why I agree that 50:1 Leverage is probably sufficient, I don't believe the authorities have a right to restrict Traders from using bigger leverages if they choose to. Traders should have the flexibility of using bigger lot sizes if they so please. Forex and all the the other markets was a big risk to take from the beginning. Traders have a right to the freedom of trading how they want.

[stevewellum]

I love the video. Forex is the best thing that came into my life it is not easy it's all about patience for you and to keep learning and staying strict with your trading plan.

Trader Nick Thank U For u sharing

500x leverage is fine. You just put 1/10th of the capital u would put in if you were using 50x leverage

[jonmanilenio]

So, a higher leverage will let you have more open trades, correct? It's just up to you to manage the lot sizes depending on how much of your capital you want to risk per trade. A lower leverage will control your trades because it will prevent you from opening trades. So if you're a conservative trader, better to have lower leverage as a means of controlling your trades, especially if you use an EA, is that right? Somebody please correct me if I'm misunderstanding this.

[tombinueza]

hello, i am tom. I plan to invest $1, 000 in forex. I plan to take 10 trades in a day with a risk of 50 pips per trade (or risk is 500 pips per day). What leverage do you advise I will take and what lot size per trade if I take 10 trades a day? Supposing I win about 150-200 pips a day, how much money will I be making and at what leverage?

[thandamngozi]

Come Covid 19 or wat... I dont see myself regretting the time I use to watch an learn from you Nick....

[nabikaumaat]

Bro you help out the beginners so much. Thanks man, i would of joined the vip team by purchasing it but way too much cost. Anyways thanks for the videos you post

[edwinmcquade]

Finally a decent video on leverage and also a genuine trader.

[BaptistJoshua]

So if you leverage 50:1 on a $10 trade, like you mentioned, you are borrowing $490? If it loses, what do you owe? I cannot find anyone who explains what you owe on any given loss with leverage/lot size. I also do not know for sure what lot size is.
