Ways to leverage your capital to multiply the profits

The beginner traders in the Forex Market do not understand the actual concept of leverage. If you have a capital of 10,000 USD and in case you trade on 1:50 margin, then you can only manage to control the capital upto 500,000 USD and in case 2 percent moves against you, the complete trading capital is lost. In case you are just a beginner, we suggest you not to use more than 1:20 margin unless you become very comfortable in the market and earn reasonable profit.

Investing a capital at 1:20 margin means that in case you are trading an amount of 10,000 USD, you are controlling a capital of 200,000 USD. Consider that you are trading the currency pair are GBP/USD and you decide to enter the Foreign Exchange Market for a long term. This suggests that you are trading that the value of USD will decrease against the value of GBP.

In case you are trading in EUR/USD currency pair and the rate of this currency pair is 1.455 and in case you invest a capital of 5000 USD using the same margin of 1:20 leverages. Here you are exchanging 100,000 USD to Euros. As per the Foreign Exchange Market, if the current exchange rate EUR/USD is 1.455, you might earn a profit of 68,728 EUR. (more…)
