Well said! I am also here to learn how to invest after listening to a lady on tv talk about the importance of investing and how she made 7 figures in 3 months, somehow the video taught me nothing and left me even more confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas on how to invest for retirement
@@MaryPatricia-wr3wj Investment now will be wise but the truth is investing on your own will be high risk. I think it will be best to get a professional👌
Bro you help out the beginners so much. Thanks man, i would of joined the vip team by purchasing it but way too much cost. Anyways thanks for the videos you post
Very nice video, I am also in this unpopular group of people because despite active 1:500 leverage on my account - thank to ratio of my positions to my deposit on my account my leverage I use is 1:5 to 1:15 and it works really well.... I feel really safe seeing most of the time max drawdown max 2-3%..... Thank to that In can make nice 10-15% a month and that is more than enough for me.
So in a nutshell are you saying that Leverage = Determines your level of margin provided by the broker e.g. 1/500 = 0.2% Margin Leverage = Determines the amount of lots your allowed to use on your account, With that being said i think your leverage is irrelevant if your always risking the right amount, 2-4% etc.. or even 1%
A big advantage of having higher leverage with a smaller account is you can have more positions open at one time. If you have 50:1 leverage you're gonna run out of available margin after opening a few trades even if you are risking just 2 percent of your account on each trade. While you're in those trades you're gonna miss out on trades you could have taken if you had more leverage.
@@orchid9614 I use 200:1 so I'd recommend that leverage or higher. As long as you practice risk management having higher leverage will not put you at risk of blowing your account. Some people use high leverage to make high risk/high reward trades but if you stick to 1 or 2 percent risk per trade then having higher leverage will only be beneficial as you won't have to miss out on trades due to lack of margin.
I love the video. Forex is the best thing that came into my life it is not easy it's all about patience for you and to keep learning and staying strict with your trading plan.
In my opnion i dnt think a bigger leverage is the problem...the problem is when you try to control a larger volume coz that increases $ per pip which will then blow your account if the trade goes against you just a few pips...what we can take from this is that, LEVERAGE is irrelavent as long as you apply PROPER RISK MANAGEMENT & you are consistent with it...
Is there a way of calculating the leverage needed in a trade to earn a given profit assuming you know the closing price, opening price and obviously the capital invested on that position? I´m assuming that should be possible to get it from here but not getting the right values: Profit (long position)= (Closing price/(opening price -1) x leverage x investment. Thanks!
Do you need to have good credit to use the leverage? I know if you wanna trade options they do a credit check and if your credit is bad your not eligible.
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Schallingora Trading Shark Scheme (just google it)? It is a great one off product for revealing an amazing options trading technique to succeed fast minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy finally got excellent results with it.
I just want to mention Smt when you get a higher leverage it dosent matter as long as your lot size is low like 0.01 it dosent matter is you have 1:100 or 1:1000 if your are trading at 0.01 lot the difference is that it lets you to increase your lot size How? by decreasing your margin
Exactly...many people describe high leverage as a bad thing but what they are not saying is increasing leverage and at the same time increasing position size is what's bad. If you use some common sense and do some calculations you will find out that higher leverage can really help a good trader gain a descent amount of profit without risking blowing an account, because higher leverage = lower used margin = reduced chance of margin level reaching margin call level = reduced chance of blowing an account.
Why I agree that 50:1 Leverage is probably sufficient, I don't believe the authorities have a right to restrict Traders from using bigger leverages if they choose to. Traders should have the flexibility of using bigger lot sizes if they so please. Forex and all the the other markets was a big risk to take from the beginning. Traders have a right to the freedom of trading how they want.
So if you leverage 50:1 on a $10 trade, like you mentioned, you are borrowing $490? If it loses, what do you owe? I cannot find anyone who explains what you owe on any given loss with leverage/lot size. I also do not know for sure what lot size is.
I have a problem I set my leverage as 1:20 and lot size is 0.02 I have 3000$ but it doesn't want to trade. It keeps saying Common Error. What might be the problem?
As far as I know mt4 doesn't allow you to change leverage, you are supposed to go to the broker's app to change leverage...if the broker doesn't have an app I guess you go to their website and log in to your account to change leverage...if there is no option like that either then you just have to call them and tell them to change the leverage on your account.
Question: i wanna trade oil but since my account is only 1k( my staring capacil) and the exchange (vantagefx 100:1) only allows lowest lot as 0.1 so any price fluctuations can empty my account, is there any way to trade lower sizes or I should wait until my account grows to 10k before touching oil?
So, a higher leverage will let you have more open trades, correct? It's just up to you to manage the lot sizes depending on how much of your capital you want to risk per trade. A lower leverage will control your trades because it will prevent you from opening trades. So if you're a conservative trader, better to have lower leverage as a means of controlling your trades, especially if you use an EA, is that right? Somebody please correct me if I'm misunderstanding this.
If you want to grow the account quick then the higher the leverage the better but in order to do this successfully you have first of all be a good and extremely profitable trader in terms of pips and be able to calculate the lowest margin level you can reach without going too near to margin call level (otherwise you'll blow your account) by factoring position size and leverage. If you can do this then starting out with a small account and turning it to large account is possible.
hello, i am tom. I plan to invest $1,000 in forex. I plan to take 10 trades in a day with a risk of 50 pips per trade (or risk is 500 pips per day). What leverage do you advise I will take and what lot size per trade if I take 10 trades a day? Supposing I win about 150-200 pips a day, how much money will I be making and at what leverage?
I know thats a little late but 10 trades r way to many. Less is more. Take quality trades. Max 4 trades a day is the best. I don’t think that you can find 10 quality trades per day
Oh Sorry,Its not much new,its what every one go through being new to the game of trade,Well mine changed up when i got in communication with Alec poe, It took risk by investing and got payouts and i had a prove case on its legitimacy
Trading has always been profitable when working with an expert,Totally agreed on that especially on my case of working and same time learn,OOHH that's will be difficult for me,Its cool i gain profits with a pro
first thing to do is to stop all form of trade and seek the help of an expert to guide you through. allot of people shy away from this thinking they could do it alone and end up blowing up their account.
glad to see Keily been mentioned here. Got linked up with her through my cousin few days ago. she's a pro 🇺🇸🇺🇸 + *• / 1 *• / 4*• / 0*• / 6*• / 2*• / 2*• / 9*• / 4*• / 9*• / 4*• /3 😊😊
Yup...higher leverage = lower used margin = more opportunities to get in trades as well as lower chance of margin level reaching margin call level = lower chance of blowing up your account. (as long as position size remains constant)
Thanks very much Nick for your explanation:) If I'm using an account with $300 balance, and I use an EA with a strategy of Take Profit: 2 pips. Stop Loss: 88 pips. Let's say if the EA opened a buy trade of EUR/USD with lot size 0.03, and it ended as a lost trade with 88 pips lost. Then the EA open a reversal trade of 7 times bigger than the previous lot size (which means 0.03 x 7 = 0.21 lot) to recover from the lost trade. My question are as follow: 1. Would the much bigger leverage of 1000:1 account helps me better in terms of safer to survive (it wouldn't hit my margin call easily when compare to an account of leverage size of 1:200) when the lost trade happen, and would it helps to prevent the reversal trades from failing to execute because of any possibility of not having enough liquidity to open the reversal trade of such a big lot size (i.e. 0.21 lot)? 2. If I have plenty of leverage, that's mean I would have plenty of liquidity that is safer for me in terms of having trades opening without easily hitting my margin call. Is that correct?
Let's say you have a 100 dollar account and you lose it on big positions you took, would you ever have to pay a broker money after losing that account?
Brokers have a system that automatically closes all your losing trades starting from the least profitable once your margin level goes below a certain level eg. 90%. This is called a stop out and happens after you have received a margin call (warning that your account is about to blow) eg. at 100%. This system was created to ensure that your losses don't exceed the money you deposited since the brokers don't want to go to the extent of banging on your door and threatening you to pay up their money. However, sometimes price moves so fast that by the time the system closes your trades your equity is already below zero. It could be negative a few dollars or hundreds or thousands depending on how large your position sizes were and how much price moved. That's when you're supposed to pack your bags and look for another broker because if you deposit more money in that account it will be used to repay the debt.
@@mattmathew6706 wow so well articulated i honestly learnt more from that paragraph than I have from all the videos ive watched on leverage and never understood it. Do brokers involve the bank if the price moves too fast and you owe them money? like do you have to pay it or can u just dip?
My question is, what's the actual benefit or downside of leverage in terms of profit amount and loss amount. I opened a trade at 30:1 leverage and I put £10 and I closed the trade with a profit of +10.5% which is £1.5, but here is what I don't get, when I opened that closed trade, it said, I put £10 and total investment was £300, now, how come my profit gain that I receive is calculated only according to my initial investment? And what happens then if I lose, does my loss profit get calculated according to my initial investment? If that's the case, then, what's the role of leverage in relation to profit and loss percentage? I hope my question is clear, I just don't understand
Leverage is an illusion so u can trade with bigger lot sizes I use 1:100 and i opened a position I gained 8$ but when i checked my broker account i found only 0.08$ and not 8$
No. Highly highly unlikely to do that consistently. 5% per month is hard to achieve long term. Don't buy the hype out there! Trading is slow and steady
@@TraderNick is 2 percent of 50: 1 leverage achievable per month .. meaning 100 dollar account leveraged to 5000 usd and 2 percent of 5000 achievable ? Pls reply I am just learning.
Does this sound right ? If u have a account of 100:1 leverage, for each 1000$ money that u have deposited u use 0.01 lot to trade I'm new to forex, since mid feb
Not very well explained , you didn’t say nothing about the exchange closing your operation when it goes down 50% of your margin , what means as much more average you use lower will be your stop .
That’s how the real world works! Small accounts take a long time to grow, and bigger accounts have the advantage of bigger gains on smaller percentage gains
Take away: Leverage is just a marketing gimmick, it can lure you to the thought of the higher the leverage, the higher the profit. The important things you have to do is: 1. Define your willing to lose per trade (1%-2% commonly) 2. Know how to compute: position size = amount of willing to lose per trade / Stop loss percentage
well. Nick explains well but i'd like to simply say that if you have $200, go on a leverage with 0.50 or below than this before you make $1000. so $1000 go with 1.00 . simple and easy.
