    Well, at least, in my opinion, big risk is always paid for by better profit terms.

    You forgot to add: if the trade is profitable.
    If it is a losing trade it will give you "better" losing terms.

    To determine leverage and risk you also need the ability of the trader. If not you can never make an accurate risk reward analysis.
    High leverage and high risk if my wife would trade, is considerable different from high leverage and high risk if I would trade.
    Same problem for driving a car. :D

  4. Your approach to trading and leverage should be unlinked. Your trading system should remain the same no matter which account it is in.

    Where leverage matters is when you can tie up less capital to trade your system with. This will goose your yield.

    In reality, such a trend is being tracked - me, but here you need to consider everything individually.

    BUT WATCH out for a non logical male driver that slams on the brakes right in the middle of a yellow/red light/blocking cars. That one in a million dumb stunt can cause crashes/ouch.

    Leverage is a double edge sword which can either benefit or harm provided how you use it.

  10. high leverage ratio is more appropriate for demo account , it could be dangerous for all time in a real account in spite of having money management.
