- What is leverage in forex trading and what leverage should i use forex? A lot of people have asked me about forex leverage risk and forex leverage meaning so I'm going to do a video about this.
I'm also gonna explain how does leverage work in forex trading. Forex leverage is something that a lot of forex traders ignore because people won't think about it until they experience forex leverage loss.
Leveraged forex trading is a double edge sword. So you will need to understand the forex leverage risk before you use forex leverage as part of your trading.
I'm also going to share with you in detail what leverage means in forex trading when you overleverage. A lot of people also asked me what leverage is best in forex so I'm going to address thi too.
Forex leverage for beginners may seem daunting to understand but if you watch this video on leverage forex explained, you will be able to understand what is leverage in forex trading.
I want to have leverage in forex explained to you in detail so you won't experience too much of a forex leverage loss. Massive losses are part of forex leverage risk especially if you increase your forex leverage too much.
What leverage means in forex can be either profitable or destroying your forex account. However, if you manage your forex leverage risk properly and learn how does leverage work in forex trading and then use that to your advantage, you can sustain your forex business in the long run by using the right forex leverage.

In a whopping 47 seconds, you literally made me understand the whole concept of leverage, YOU'RE THE KING !
Glad I could help
The issue of leverage need not be an issue at all. You can always minuscule the risk by adjusting your lot size. I think it is wise if beginners pay a lot more attention to their lot size, making sure that they don't wreck and zero their accounts through high lots. I personally think that the higher the leverage the better, since you can as well minuscule the risk by adjusting your lot. If one can use high leverage to his advantage he might be onto something.
It's a great video Karen, no doubt about it, but all I'm saying is the fundamental purpose of leverage has to hold true, and it is toy understanding that one shouldn't be bewailed by high leverage if he can adjust his risk exposure through lot adjustment.
Again it's a personal perception.
I'm Still a novice as compared to how much I wanna know.
Kind Regards!
😊
If your lot size is taken care of it shouldn't be an issue. I'm just making assumptions in this video that the traders did not take care of their lot size. Thanks for your kind compliment !
this is exactly my thinking
when i was a beginner..
you are correct, but also high leverage can affect the amount of opened positions you can have at the same time especially when you have some floating loss. Low leverage will give you room to breath, along with lot size calculation
Thank you Karen for explaining leverage. I now understand what it means. No one explained it the way you did. Very good job. Much appreciated. May the lord God Almighty bless you with peace.
Thank you for a very comprehensive explanation. I'm with a forex group and when we signed up, all newbies...they just told us to use 1:200 or 1:500. We use small lot sizes yes BUT no one explained the reason for choosing those leverages. Through my own research, I realised that lot sizes can let you control your losses regardless of leverage, but still...understanding the reasoning behind choosing a suitable leverage is so important. Rather than just telling new people use this ...FULLSTOP.
Been seeing leverage videos for hours And this kid literally the only one that answers my question...thanks much karen
You're welcome. I'm glad I could help 😊
I watched this video a year ago and I didn't understand a thing she was saying. Watching it today and now I can relate. I thank God for my journey so far. My leverage right now is 1:10.
You have the best explanations of leverage on youtube. Thanks to this, it will really help my risk management.
I learned stock trading about 15 years ago but at that time nobody in youtube is doing it. still remains a rookie until now. then about a week ago, i met someone at work sharing forex trading and it sparks my interest again and now forex. currently starting to learn this stuff because i have someone to ask near me and watching you means a lot. first trader i found in youtube. it’s never too late. i just regretted why i didn’t know people are sharing this in youtube. thank you.
better late than never :)
Hi Karen, I am really amazed the way you simplify each topic you teach for a better understanding. Thanks so much!
Thanks for your kind compliment
I appreciate your honest advice. Thanks for all the great content!
Isn’t she beautiful 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Intelligently BEAUTIFULLLLLLL
U guys shd stop using Karen's channel for ur adverts and spend worthwhile time and resources to make ur make ur channels attractive. People sacrifice a lot to get to this level. My humble opinion though.
She looks like the rest of Chinese you can't tell if is boy or girl
@@teslimteslow1661 coz you're too dumb to even tell. That's how high your level of stupidity is
and that's why you ain't making no money.
Owh, now I understand why my 300 dollar account with a leverage of 1:500 has really high risk + i trade in the 4 hour time frame.
This is useful 👍 thank you
Thank you, Karen! Amazing explanation...
Thanks for this video....have been having hard time understanding this Leverage stuff as a beginner. God bless!
Thank you so much. I have watched about 10 different epllanations of this and none of them were as good as yours. i now have a better understanding of what this is and how to use it so I dont keep blowing my account. THANK YOU
Glad it helped
Probably best video on leverage... Thanks Karen
Thanx Karen....u really know how to explain!!!
Thank you Karen for such a detailed explanation. I also believe that beginners should always start with a low leverage and then increase it gradually as their experience builds. I’ve started using 100:1 with fxview and will increase it further as I gain experience.
you explain like a pro thank you i understand
Very informative and vital Miss for a beginner like me..BLESS YOU!
Thank you.❤ This is very helpful
Listen, I've been searching for an explanation for leverage for the last 2-3 hours and I vaguely understood. You explained it in the simplest terms and I got it! Thanks
I'm glad that my videos could help. Thanks for your compliment!
Cheers for the Video! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Profitable Idea Scheme (search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for uncovering a smart technique to trade forex minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy after many years got cool success with it.
@@panedole promote your bullshit elsewhere. I've seen enough of people spamming the same shit as you.
You Explained Leverage really well. thank you for this video.

Thank you coach Karen... very informative like me as newbie
You're welcome!
I used 1:200 & 1:500 based on "experienced trader friends'" advice as a 1st timer..
Each time my acct went ZERO before I can finish saying Abracadabra...🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I learnt it the hard way. Wish I watched this earlier...
Thanks for the effort in making n sharing this video Karen..
You're welcome. Think they are more like experienced gamblers
1:100 1:1000 can say same, you need control your lot size..let say you have 100usd, with 1:10 you might can enter maximum of size maybe 1.0 or 1.5...but with 1:1000 you can enter 10.0lots...with SL 10pips away
My dream is to meet with you someday and learn more about fundamental analysis you inspire me and I am grateful and thank you for sharing this videos
I love you Karen... With all of my heart. You're amazing!!! I'm flying over to your country next year to appreciate you for everything you've done for me.. God Bless you so much... You're one of the big reasons why i'm profitable today. THANK YOU!
Ok then see you soon!

Thanx karen. Easy to understand.
You're welcome
I can't stop being amazed by how good you are at this 👌🏿
Thanks for your compliment
Thank You just what I was looking for
You're welcome
Trading with leverage seems like it will be a really big advantage and it can be, but it can hurt you as much as it can help you. Many new traders are beginning to use as much leverage and, as a rule, lead to quick losses and the failure of the account. This is a good reason for new traders to learn how to trade Forex; I studied forex, then trade with AAFX.
Yes very well said. Lack of patience is what causes beginners to over leverage
Brilliant! Thanks
Thank you for always providing us depth knowledge 😍.
You're welcome
Great advice.
Great. Will watch all your videos. Thanks.
You're welcome. Happy watching!
Quick returns = Quick death! Karen advice is always on point. And thank u very much for ur education. Have been trying to understand this leverage thing for a long time. But u've made it simple for me to grasp now. Bless u

Welcome
Another great video Leverage has a lot to do well being smart and patient I think I would only use higher leverages when the market dips and candles.. Rsi.. And moving average says bullish momentum.. That's trading like a sniper right having multiple confirmations?
You are Awesome!!
Great info, very helpful
Thanks for your kind compliment
Bob looks better than John. Should never lose 30 % of what you put in. Great video. Starbucks time Happy trading. cheers
Haha yeah I just realized that he looks better. Probably coz of the moustache LOL. Thank you for your compliment. Happy trading to you too :)
Should leverage be taken into consideration when calculating the LOT SIZE?
Currently I'm calculating a very low lot size (that I can't even buy)It gets better if I add leverage to it.
Amazing videos Karens s2
Excellent explanation!
Thank you for your compliment :)
Awesome..
Man great explanation!
Thanks
Respect, very helpful
Thanks for your compliment
Thank youuuu
thank u karen
Amaze me more kareen. Great lesson.
Haha ok I'll do my best
hello karen I want to ask how to eliminate doubts in the trading plan. I often make trading plans and actually succeed, but often I get scared when the retest price is near the bottom of my op, often I close the position. Btw im lot better in trading after using 1:20-50 leverage like you suggested in this video. Thanks kareen.
@@juliusmuliawan6387 backtest and demo test more to build confidence
@@KarenFoo thanks for the advice .
Nice Vidoe Karen. Is it ok to neglect leverage alltogether if you are setting your stop loss as a percentage of your account and not as a standard amount?
Thank you, Karen.
You're welcome

Hello Karen, assuming i use 1 micro lot size and i risk 10 pip which is 1 dollar right ,i also use 1:100 or 1:50 or 1:5 leverage in calculation hw is it going to affect the 1dollar. plz i need a feedback
I LOVE YOU FROM BANGLADESH

Hello, your explanation was very good but I am still struggling. I have a £500 account and I risk 2% (1R) every single trade and my Take Profit is usually (2-8R), my leverage is 1:100 would changing my leverage to 1:500 affect anything at all?
Hello Karen, I've just started my Think or Swim demo account and my Qty is set at 10,000, what leverage is that in the forex market?
hello karren, i am tom. I plan to invest $1,000 in forex. I plan to take 10 trades in a day with a risk of 50 pips per trade (or risk is 500 pips per day). What leverage do you advise I will take and what lot size per trade if I take 10 trades a day? Supposing I win about 150-200 pips a day, how much money will I be making and at what leverage?
Karen good day to you. Pls make a video on leverage for micro lot account like 1k dollar downwards.
Thanks much
Use less than 1:20
thanks again Karen, great video
You're welcome Anthony!
Hi Karen, I use 1:888 I trade long-term but wouldn't it be easier to manage your risk via lot sizing? I'm not a professional trader by the way so any advice.
Hi Muneer. As long as you manage your lot size, it's fine.
if you believe in investing without fully knowing about Forex I say think again and enlighten yourselves, trust me a month back I was a loser! I lost almost all my money to brokers I did not understand, almost lost my wife and kids but thanks to Mr. Lukka Semenov who took the time to teach me about my broker, taught me his *Lukka Binomial strategy* and how they make deals to make you win all the time now I make thousands weekly. You need to enlighten yourselves search the internet right now for more information on this strategy.
@@viktorgevin6532 haha you're just promoting Lukka...
Hi Karen, I have learnt alot from this video, but advice me on the best broker to use most brokers have limits on leverage it starts from 1:100, 1:500, 1:1000 etc . i how can i choose 1:20 or 1:50 leverage in this case ?
Email my team for broker details (admin@karen-foo.com)
I use 1:20 (Oanda)
@Karen thanks for this video... may you suggest a broker ?
