Should I use leverage for net net investing. If I use a reasonable leverage of 2x?

Why you should use leverage in the 1st place?

​

Understanding 101 - Double edged sword for leverage.

​

Reasonable or not, depends on risk appeitate. For short trading for FX, my leverage is 1:20 , and that's reasonable to me because I do have a stop loss for all my trades. My strategy 3-in-1.

​

All trades are "10 credits", to win 20 credits or 10 credits. 3 trade at 1 go (maybe different fx pairs for all 3 trades).

​

Trade 1 - Lose 10 credits

Trade 2 - Lose 10 credits

Trade 3 - Win 20 credits

​

This way, I do break even, if i predicted 1 trade correctly for simplicy sake.

​

Depending on your strategy, leverage might be a good thing, but becareful of the backfire.
