Forex leverage means Borrowing money from your broker for you to trade.
This is not exactly taking a loan from your broker. Broker takes back the amount he gave you (for you to open a trade) when you close the trade.

Example:
If you have 1000$, this is enough to place a trade.
You will get 0.1$ per pip and you can have a maximum stop loss of 10,000 pips.

Still you can earn 0.1$ per pip trading 100$ having a 10X leverage.
Only disadvantage of this is, now your Maximum Stop Loss is only 1000 pips.

How this works...
Your Broker gives you 900$ when you open the trade (100$ 10X leverage trade). So now you have 1000$ so you can earn 0.1$ per pip. When you reach -1000pips (against you/ a loss). it means Your 100$ is over. So the trade is closed. Broker gets back his 900$ + Spread$.

How to use the leverage effectively...
When you analyse the market (technically), by indicators and ressistance & support...a good trader can tell how many pips should be his stop loss.

If its only 25pips - Trade on 400X leverage
If its 25-50pips - trade 200X
if its 50-100pips -trade 100X
etc...

If you are a day trader 100pips Stop loss should be enough for you.

    na machan mehemai...
    Api damma gaana Loss unata passe broker trade eka close karanava.

    Leverage eka wadi wenna wenna Price-per-Pip (PPP) eka wadi wenava ne.

    0 Leverage daala 1000$ trade karoth.
    Trade eka Loss wela close wenne 10,000pips giyoth

    100X daala 10$ trade koroth, 100pips giyoth (PPP=0.1)

    400X 10$ nam, 25pips giyoth. (PPP=0.4)

    ------------------------
    Example: oya trade karanava 10$ 100X daala. EUR/USD.
    Dan Broker daanava 990$ (ekathuva 1000$) wenna.
    (Spread eka 2pips) (PPP=0.1$)
    Oya trade eka damma gaman Broker gannava 0.2$

    rate eka oyata Against giyanam Pips 100k...trade eka close wenava.
    Pips 100k kiyanne 10$ (price-per-pip=0.1$)

    ee kiyanne methanadi oya damma 10$ loss una gaman broker trade eka close karanava, broker ge 990$ aaye brokerma gannava.

    Tikak hondata hithanna!

    Meka type karanna giya mahansiyatawath oya uda thiyena game eka yaluwoth ekka share karanna machan! :P
