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.
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. ES
In reality, such a trend is being tracked - me, but here you need to consider everything individually.
very rare i use high leverage especially when i can predict the real faction of this market with certainly. but it occurs just 1 or two times in a month.
%% Good points.Also there is a bit morerisk getting out in the intersection/making a left hand turn/but better turns that way...…………………………………………………………………….... 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. Not a prediction/not an insult.LOL
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.
