Friend of mine is at crossroads while opening his trading account. He cannot decide which leverage to settle for between 1:100 and 1:500. Please advise him

Someone with 1:500 leverage can simultaneously open 5 times more trades than a person with 1:100 leverage assuming they are trading the same instrument, with the same lot size. But on the flip side, the person with 1:500 leverage is 5 times more likely to be kicked out of the market when losses start mounting

Choice of leverage depends on expert level. Beginners should go for 1:100 because it will prevent them from revenge trading (and opening several trades out of greed)
