Leverage makes a rather boring market incredibly exciting. Unfortunately, when your money is on the line exciting is not always good, but that is what leverage has brought to FX. Leverage is usually given in a fixed amount that can vary with different brokers. Each broker gives out leverage based on their rules and regulations. The amounts are typically 50:1, 100:1, 200:1 and 400:1. For the most part, professional traders trade with very low leverage. Keeping your leverage lower protects your capital when you make trading mistakes and keeps your returns more consistent.
