{quote} Good, better practice with real money acc than demo. I did so and learned quicker. And wow 1:1000 leverage , mine is 1:100 ant thinking of going to 1:50.
Yeah if i trade with real acc, i prefer max leverage is 1:100. I use 1:1000 for learning my MM and developing my system, so far so good with 1:1000 leverage.

What if..... you have 99.9% accurate strategy (i know...i know this is naive), are you choose 1:100 leverage more or less? Need your opinion my friends....

every trader has their own comfort zone when it comes to leverage -- you need to find your personal 'sweet spot' that works well with your market environment, trading strategy, style, and product. As the market shifts and your strategy for said market changes, you need to adjust leverage accordingly.

e.g. if I have a really good year -- I severely cut my leverage for a month or so to give my self 'room to breathe'

to have a fixed leverage for every situation and every market condition and every trade would be in your words naive

{quote} If you start with small capital 75% not much risk i think . I only scale the risk up, never down, because i would never trade entry/exit points that have a negative expectancy at least last 3 week.

Even though we have positive expectancy with our strategy, there's still going to have losses in our edge but at least you're trading it on small capital

For me, it will depends on the trading strategy, trading frequency, time frame etc. These matters a lot too in our strategy. Besides, if the strategy isn't using fix amount of pips in every trades, then the leverage is likely to vary a lot in certain times..

Take a look at AudNzd, i saw long entry which would work around 1.02680. Long target open up to 1.0627, nice rr there with stop just below recent low. Take note that my tf a bit longer than most.
