Use leverage with caution. Using leverage can lead to large gains if properly applied, however, without careful study and tracking of trends you can leverage yourself into a hole. If you are a less experienced trader do not leverage greater that 10:1. This will allow you to gain without risking large quantities of your capital should the market turn.

To be successful in forex trading, you have to understand that trading hinges on probability as well as risk analysis. No particular method or style will produce profits over an extended period of time.
