I think the leverage in fx market is all about personal choices, but most of the traders even the experienced fulltime traders are adviced not to take a higher leverages which is more of gambling than trading but rather to trade with 1% or 2% leverage which means if you hold a 10k initial deposit and the market moves 50pips against your predictions, then you would have to lose only 50 dollars.
Most of those statistics I've seen about this stuff is scary, indicating that only 1% of retail traders get a positive rewards while all other ones lose their money to a larger institutional companies and brokers.
But the only things I get appealing about fx is that its user fraindly, allows you to trade in the world financial markets at any time and anywhere you are with no hardware logistics and alot of stuff to compile and manage and above all it enables you to minimize your risk when youre wrong and maximize your gains when you are right.
My motto is get rich quick so I think this stuff suits me no matter of the countless warnings about its risks

cuz I dont wanna live for salary through out my entire life
