[QUOTE="Easy Trader, post: 28824, member: 12260"] John Forrest, the answer is yes and no. Leverage is just the ratio of capitol you need to put up(freeze) on margin to control X amount of contracts. Any negative results will directly come out of your 'free margin' or profits will be added to 'free margin'. Now if you abuse your leverage and buy to many contracts then you will have frozen most of your capitol and left only a small amount as 'free margin' thus if your trade goes negative greater than that amount then you get a 'margin call'....So like Enivid, he likes 100:1 which leaves him with alittle more free margin than Cjthelegend who perfers 50:1 which may give Enivid the ability to have 1-2 more trades open than Cj. Its a exercise in preference and common sense. A 1000:1 is crazy and any broker offering is probably a bucket shop and wants you to abuse the leverage and blow the account. You have a Ferrari and I drive a Mini we both maintain the speed limit but you like the comfort of knowing you can go 170 and I prefer to get more miles per gallon. You can have high leverage and still risk only 1% of your account balance per trade. [/QUOTE]
