{quote} Think again about this formula please. It is not accurate (or should I say, it applies only to certain style of trading) Margin definitely affects profitability. You NEED more margin to spread your risk across multiple positions/pairs but if you are a single-pair-one-position-at-a-time trader then it won't matter. I have no idea why this idiot has blocked me on this thread. Perhaps I have pissed him somewhere else lol Feel free to post my response on his thread. So what is...
. Since leverage is a double edge sword... Any system/ Strategy/ 'Group of trades' that has a success rate of more than 50% will be less profitable. And the more accurate, the less profits will be made over the trades. I initially assumed the leverage would only affect the amount of margin required to hold a position, but now maybe I think it will affect the total profits/ losses of a group of trades based on a strategy. {quote} I should have included this in my response. My bad. You can open a new demo account with any custom amount and leverage level to test your EA. It's your strategy. You need to fully own it, test it, ensure it performs under all account types and market conditions. I am just sharing my experience as I had to deal with this also. Leverage will affect any strategy (especially optimized which I am against). It is very hard to have a strategy that will work on all account leverage levels and amounts in my experience (with a multiposition strategy)....
