leverage and contract size are 2 things that should not be forgotten because it is very important and useful in trading plan calculations and also anything related to good and realistic transactions and does not violate good MM rules.

Indeed the calculation of leverage is needed because we come to know how much the ideal funds and lots are carried out, so that later when trading we are not surprised when capital is reduced and other benefits we take into account stop losses.

Calculating leverage is knowing the risk he can bear, in order to get a large profit.

If it's like this then it makes no difference to gambling because we have to understand that trading is a business full of risk all must be calculated in detail.

Forex trading must first take into account the leverage and risk issues that we will accept, so that if we are treding and get a loss, we already know how much loss we will receive and the resilience of the capital.

Adjustment of leverage with capital, this must be observed, not to have a small capital leverage is very large for example 1: 1000.
A positive value exists because it can trade bigger, but it is very risky for large losses

leverage and contract size are one of the components that must be calculated and determined in making trading transactions because if there is no such consideration the trader will tend to trade without size.

I rarely use leverage of less than 1: 500 because I tend to prefer scalping where we can make transactions in large quantities so leverage is very important in my opinion.

leverage and contract size are usually used to calculate the lot size that will be used to match the capital and security that can be limited.

Contract size is often called lots and its use is very important, so here we have to apply the use of lots and leverage according to the capital and strategy we use.

In my opinion, leverage is very important in adjusting our trading capital to the strategies we have so that we can adjust it properly while the contract size is the lot size we use.

Leverage can indeed be very profitable in forex trading because it can multiply your capital, but it can also be dangerous if you miscalculate, large leverage has a large level of risk.

Leverage is tantamount to multiplying capital, too much leverage will make us want to always place orders.
Leverage is safe and I think it is 1: 200 or not more than 1: 500, the main thing is to adjust the leverage and contract size.

I use 1: 500 leverage and use the contract size I adjust to my startup and also the capital that I have to match the risk of the leverage I use.
