What leverage are you using ?

Once traders can recover from their mistakes, it remains as a great knowledge in them. If you alone can’t recover your mistakes, seek help from experts.
 
Forex traders should select the leverage level that they feel most at ease with. A lesser degree of leverage, such as 5:1 or 10:1, can be preferable if you're cautious and don't like taking numerous chances or if you're still learning how to trade currencies.
 
As a newbie, it’s safer to use low leverage like 1:10 or 1:20. High leverage like 1:1000 greatly increases risk and potential losses. Just because it’s offered doesn’t mean it’s wise to use it.
 
Some brokers like HFM offers 1:1000 on micro account and 1:400 on their regular ones, new traders however being unaware of the market conditions should keep the leverage low in start since high leverage can claim higher losses as well.
 
For newbies, low leverage like 1:10 or 1:20 is safer to manage risk and avoid big losses. Using 1:1000 is extremely risky and can quickly wipe out your account. Just because a broker offers high leverage doesn’t mean you should use it.
 
As a newbie, I’d recommend starting with low leverage (1:10 to 1:50) to minimize risk. While 1:1000 can amplify profits, it also magnifies losses—often wiping accounts fast. Brokers offer it to attract traders, but discipline matters more. Protect your capital; you can scale up later as you gain experience.
