Difference in Leverages
NoCool14: I have a question. If a person has $100 with a 1:500 leverage. How many lots can he trade? And if a trader has 1:50 leverage how much does he need to have to trade the same amount? What I am trying to say is I have an account with a maximum leverage of 1:50 and the signal I am trying to follow has a leverage of 1:500, how much money do I need to match his lots. Say if he trades 0.01 lots, how many times do I need to multiply that to get the same return, is it 10 times?
