When i test my own strategies I like the highest leverage 500. But I control the risk per lot too. When doing autotrading, Do you know what leverage from 50 to 500 is best to use?  I don't want to lose totally when others don't.  200?   Or is it controlled where it really don't matter. My strategies do margin plus my special extra amount. Are these the same way? I noticed a leverage amount. is margin demand included in that? Thank-you, deegames999

When auto trading, there r two options to set lot size. One is to set percentage of signal providers's lot size. If u select this and u have enough capital then u wont loose all investment unless signal provider looses all.

Second option is to set a fixed lot size. In this case, ur account can be blown before others or ur account may remain safe (by using minimum lot size) to some extent when others r blown (by using high lot size).

You can also allocate a specific amount of investment for a signal provider.

Leverage affects total no. of trades. For example with higher leverage more trades can be opened and with lower leverage u can open less trades.
