Importance of Leverage in Forex
Thursday, January 3, 2008
Different from Equity trading and Futures trading, Forex trading offers its traders with far more advantages and greater profits than the other financial markets and that too, in a short term.

A range of Forex trading strategies are offered to its traders, the most significant one of them all being Leverage. Forex market offers higher leverage as compared to all the major stock exchange trading markets.

With the help of Leverage, online currency traders can make use of more funds than the actual money which they deposit. Margin can be known as the least amount required to be deposited before a trader starts trading. This can also be known as the opening amount with which the Forex trading account can be initiated.

Leverage also facilitates the Forex traders to maximize their Forex trading profits. This is because with the help of Leverage, a trader can make use of as high as 200 times the actual sum which he has deposited in his Forex account.
Such a strategy allows the trader to support his superior yielding dealings easily and hence allocating improved results to his Forex trading and deals.

Leverage is basically making use of the various economic tools such as margins. Margins help a trader to enhance his prospective return of investments. Leverage is an extremely fine financial tool which can be used to boost a trader’s buying power in the Forex market. Advantages are many, when it comes to getting great margins for trading purposes.

Although it is said to be a great tool for fiscal matters, Leverage should be handled carefully, making sure that you, as a trader have thought and executed alongside, a risk management plan with it.

Leverage as a strategy should always be first applied on a small position or deal size. Only when it works successfully for a while with small deals, should it be applied further, on a bigger sum. Slowly and gradually, leverage can be multiplied to bigger sums of money to quickly maximize profits.

Also, Leverage as a Forex trading strategy can be applied frequently but wisely on your daily trading as it facilitates its traders to make full use of the short term instability or variations experienced in the Forex market. Such high leverage enables the Forex traders to trade much larger sum of currency than they have deposited.

Alongside bringing with many advantages, Leverage also has a lop side to it. Many investors regard leverage as risky because according to them, it is highly dangerous to trade bigger position or deal sizes without truly owning that much amount of money.

While the usually available leverage from the online Forex dealers is 100:1, the leverage offered by the Stock brokers can go as low as 2:1 margin. By getting a higher leverage, traders can get more buying power than what they generally have as it boosts their total return on investment.

Where some traders feel that margins should not be used frequently as they can prove dangerously with huge deals, others feel that margins or higher leverage allows them to trade big through small initial deposits.
The important thing to be done is to read carefully, the terms and conditions of the broker that you plan to deal with and the leverage that he is offering. Also, plan proper money management techniques so that you are able to manage your limited trading money appropriately.

Different brokers offer their clients with different leverage ratios or margins to trade. Always select the broker or the broker firm whose terms and services suit you best. It is not always necessary that all brokers providing huge leverages are honest and good. Therefore, it is always advisable to remain vigilant and thoroughly check what you are being offered.
