Don't worry Inky, you can lose your dough almost as quickly at 100:1 as you can at 400:1.

The only difference with the margin now is the spot where you will get forced to liquidate.

Think of leverage (when uses foolishly) like this:

10-1 is kite string.
100-1 is anchor rope.

Choose your noose wisely.

let's be real though...who trades forex at 10-1 or even 25-1?...do you?...does cabletrader? does Ivanovich?...I would venture to say all forex trading cats here use 100-1...hmmm...

The most i have ever used trading forex is 30 to 1 and that was split between 3 different currencies at that. The most i have EVER used against 1 currency is just less than 25 to1 and I felt that was VERY risky.

more power to you...you need a lot of cash to trade at 25 or 30-1...

Not much difference here. I think the new rule is idiotic and counter-productive, but I never went over 100:1 anyway.
