RULE NO. 5: Leverage 100:1

‘Leverage’: As I mentioned earlier Forex trading is often attractive to investors because Forex trading offers such high leverage. However, with increased buying power comes increased risk. The risk becomes higher as your leverage increases. This system is designed for a leverage of 100:1. Where your leverage is higher, you can balance it by reducing the number of your open trades or adjusting your stop loss to reduce your maximum exposure to the market to disaster level of 10%. Remember, you are not here to gamble your hard-earned money away but to grow your wealth over time. The table below provides the effect of the system on leverages of 100-500
