I think the term leverage is over used and over emphasized. When I place a trade I only care how much each pip is costing me and how that translates to % of account balance.

Oanda, for example uses a diferent way to calculate pip cost and I never took the time to learn it. I believe they have one of the lowest cost per pip of any broker and many satisfied clients.

Alpari UK has 500:1. You have to ask for it.

indeed it has, spoiling 4 of my forward tests for the week.

I do have to say that the live server seems to have been up all the time though.

500:1? I hope anyone attempting to use any leverage beyond 1:1 has a strong grounding in mathematics.

At 500:1, a 0.2% move against you results in a 100% loss of account equity, i.e. total blowup. A 0.2% move in EUR/USD is 29 pips. Heck, a 1 pip move would be a 3.5% swing in your account equity. Assuming a 3-pip spread (the usual at these bucketshops), you'll be down 10% the moment you enter the trade. You'll last longer in Vegas...

I agree. It is amazing to me that people even ask for 500 to 1 leverage or 400 to 1. Even worse...if they set their account up like that, even if they don't really use that size, they are charged interest based on that.

There might be some use for it in carry trades and/or multiple trades. With multiple trades it means your margin security is lower, so more trades or more tolerable swings per trade. Risky... but there might be a strategy that could use it wisely.

fxdd is 1:200
fxcm live accts are 400:1, but you must request this. I have an email from a live representative confirming this. Their current demo, now more in-line with ECN, but only offers 100:1 leverage.

But all of them have low acct balance caps. Like fxopen is $3k activtrades is $5k euro, and I'm waiting to hear from fxcm on their acct maximums. not sure about fxpro.com acct max with high leverage.

So you could open several small accts and just keep manually opening up small accts. I guess the idea is that you'll double up enough and then get tired of it and open up standard acct.

Absolutely. Even with a pretty lagre account balance, this kind of leverage can swipe it in no time. 1% is optimal to my oppinion.

That very high leverage, but...

FXCM UK will allow 400:1 one a case-by-case basis (really, you just need to ask)
