If you're only risking 2% of your account, 50:1 leverage ought to be more than sufficient for you to exchange. I have had my primary account at Oanda now. Their leverage has always been 50:1 and it's never crossed my mind that I would need leverage. If you understand what you are doing, and understand how to control risk exposure correctly the 50:1 leverage is all you want. However , if instead of focusing on how best to exchange, you would rather shout all over the forum, on the CFTC murdered your profits by restricting you in how fast you can loose your money, then by all means do that.Originally Posted by ;
I do agree that what they did is wrong, but only from the point of getting involved and imposing limitations where they should not have. The restricted leverage itself though, will not put any profitable trader out of business...
