Forex Traders promise high monthly returns and “stop-loss” provisions which suggest that you would never lose all of your money. On the other hand they talk about leverage which suggest that they will always have more to invest than they actually have and therefore all losses will be recovered. I have never heard of high returns and no risk, but this is what the so-called Forex traders are advocating. Is this some kind of scam?

Does anyone have any suggestions on a leverage limit?

Many FOREX brokers allow up to 200:1 leverage. My trading strategy is to take just very small gains (3 or 4 pips at a time) and set the stop losses way out there just to avoid a total wipeout. I never trade on Fridays either and of course close out before the market closes.

Because of the giant stop losses, I am only comfortable with around 20:1 leverage or maybe 30:1.

In other words, with a $500 margin account balance, I would only consider buying 0.1 lots of EURUSD (10,000) at a time; 0.2 lots with $700; 0.3 lots with $1100 and so on…

Does anyone out there use the same strategy as me and feel comfortable with higher leverage like 40:1, 50:1 or even higher?
