You will be happy to find out that in Forex trading you are allowed to use the power of leverage. This means that you get the power of controlling big amount of money by just depositing a small amount in your account. Let me to illustrate, if you invest $100 with a broker that provides 300:1 leverage, you get the power to control thirty thousand dollars. You can also use this leverage to make more gains. However, if your analysis of the market and predictions go wrong, you may suffer heavy losses. That is why it is important to use it in a right way, which can only be attained by considerable experience.

New traders using that kind of leverage should be extra careful about what they do because heavy losses mean you will be on the road without food if you havnt pre-planned it.

I would never suggest newbies to trade wit an extensive leverage..
