Make sure you're really understand your own risk in this business and try to manage it well. Just like my 0.5 lot scalping trading in ECN account on HiWayFX

In life we need to think positive, it’s not necessary that higher leverage leads into higher losses, it can be opposite with higher leverage leading into huge profits, so in a way there is nothing that can be said with guarantee, it depends upon the person working, if there is skill in his work then high leverage is one of the mighty advantage, but if skills are lacking then it can be a curse using higher leverage. At the moment, I am working with OctaFX broker and using high leverage 1.500. It is very cool to have such leverage since I have got this account with capital of 50-60 dollars, I do have other accounts, but mainly this is for scalping and due to such high leverage, I can do it fairly smoothly and make good profits.

when u use big leverage thats meant u try to make more profit, but u also will take mor risk. u should try to control ur greed, know when u need to use big leverage just read the situation, and dont push ur self.

im always try to minimize my risk of lose. so i can make more profit. by using akun standard on HiWayFx, there i can use a leverage 1:1000 and minimum lot till 0,01.

its good for u to minimize ur risk by reduce ur lot, but if u do it u cant get more profit, u should try to use big lot sometime but u must have a good preparation when u will do it.
