In this overview, I will speak about trading without leverage<\/a> so that you could decide whether this type of trading suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What is leverage?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trading with leverage means that you open a position for a lager sum than you have on your deposit via marginal crediting. In essence, leverage<\/strong> is the ratio of your capital and borrowed money. In financial markets, leverage is provided by your broker<\/a>; normally it starts from 1:10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using leverage, traders with small deposits can open rather large positions in financial markets. For example, owning a deposit of 1,000 USD, a trader can use leverage of 1:100 (provided by their broker) and open positions for 100,000 USD total (1,000 USD * 100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, trading with leverage lets the trader increase their potential profit; n the other hand, it also increases possible risks. Conversely, trading without leverage means lower risks but requires a larger deposit. Find out more about trading with leverage in Forex from our article: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
