i have seen according to my trading experience after having perfect money or risk management sometimes the result of trading can be useless , this is the dark side of Forex trading .
For this profit target in nominal terms, the capital should be 200-300K USD, otherwise it is waste of time, imo
The price movement of currency pairs are very small for any meaningful profit without a huge capital as said above. So imo trading using small leverage is still better as zero leverage isnt that great at all unless you have massive investment going on to see any decent profit.
The average daily % move across the most trade pairs is about 0.60% Theoretically, with a $10,000 account you could make $60 off one trade within a 24hr seasion. Yearly that is a massive % gain, with compounding huge.
the beginners level should not use any kind of leverage , this could be dangerous due to lack of knowledge
