Do you actually use the max leverage your broker offers ?

[Dewaldtrades01]

Yes, I do. My broker (Capital Street FX) offers up to 1:1000 and even 1:10,000 on small deposits. I don’t max it out recklessly, but I use it smartly—mainly to keep margin free and diversify trades. For me, leverage is more about flexibility than taking oversized positions. Curious, do you stick to lower leverage or push higher sometimes?

I wonder how long it would take for one to hit the stop out with such leverage. I'd say 5 min.
Won't you agree?!

Haha yeah with 1:10,000 if someone goes all in it won’t even take 5 minutes, maybe a few seconds 😅 but that’s why I don’t max it out recklessly. I use high leverage more for margin efficiency so I can open multiple trades without locking big capital. For me leverage is just a tool, it only hurts if you misuse it. Do you keep your leverage low or also like having that flexibility?

I can't think of a situation where using a leverage even close to 1:10,000 would be wise. The highest I would ever go for would be 1:1000 though the broker I work with offers double that amount.

I have the max leverage my broker offers, at 1:1000.
But that doesn't mean I utilize the entire margin..

if you can control yourself and not overly open trades, a high leverage boasts your margin and can be a positive factor. But you need to know how to use it.
