Disliked{quote} Lol, they will still lose It doesn't matter with or without leverage..they will only lose slower Btw. I don't think they are crying about the leverage..on this forum and on most alike you can see a lot of the people talking about broker conspiracy in manipulating prices to stop them out and similar.. So this talk about leverage is ridiculous...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Well.. lots actually. It's just not retail traders who are the dumbest fucks because a "professional" is any retail trader who has not lost all his money yet.... The banks and brokers love them all (: Here I'll start with this. In the late soviet union (which is not much different than the new one) speculation would lend you 5 years in a concentration camp in siberia .. In my opinion, this is probably one of the few redeeming feature of that era. getting late here. And I have to get up early to get to a REAL JOB. So if you do answer I will...Ignored

Disliked{quote} I have been warning folks for a few years now to reduce their exposure to leverage... for those who use leverage. Either by reducing position size or increasing bankroll (or both). Sooner or later I expect leverage to be made a mandatory 1:1. You don't want to be put in a position to have your positions forced closed when that happens. This seems to be a bigger issue for traders in the USA. And when leverage in the USA becomes 1:1 only, the retail forex industry will be pretty much dead. I don't know if every broker will shut down, but I...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Lol 1:1 leverage, then why not go back to stone age Why do you think everyone moved away from 1:1 leverage in the first place?

Disliked{quote} When reading threads like this, I always want to mention the two accounts I am trading overseas. After finfx changed its policy toward US traders as of January 2015 my account was transferred elsewhere and so far so very good. In addition, am using another broker. Both are findable online if you look for them. Also: read the reviews and look look look. Some Americans won't do this; others are doing it profitably.Ignored
DislikedLOL, 1:500 leverage have the same cost as 1:50 , as the pip value is still the same , 100 pips will always cost you 100 X 10 = 1000 dollars per lot .. I have no idea why would you people think higher leverage comes with higher risk .. BTW, with 1:5 , better go to trade stocks instead ..Ignored
Disliked{quote} Yes the pip per lot value is the same, however larger positions are capable of being opened with high leverage. In other words, you could have more exposure than you could achieve with lower or no leverage.Ignored
Disliked{quote} These are questions for the lawmakers and regulators. It is fact that leverage has already been reduced by these bodies. They have already eliminated leverage on certains commodities (such as precious metal). And yes they have already begun discussions on doing the same for currency trading.Ignored
