When I am drawn back to my technical analysis days I usually use a leverage of 40:1 unless I have a high probability setup occurring (based on pivot points and fibs). In that case I might go as high as 100:1. Currently the majority of my Forex activity is based on conservative hedge trades (usually hedging the EUR/USD and USD/CHF). With my hedge trades I use a leverage of 400:1 and a margin of 10%. Hedging is awesome because the position can make profit regardless if the market goes up or down. I also get paid a daily interest payment, 7 days a week. I have an analysis of the daily performance of 5 different hedge strategies over the past 500 days if you would like to see it. And these were all at 400:1 leverage and never anywhere near a margin call.

So take that for what it is worth. Good Luck Forex is too dangerous for my liking, but I know a professional Forex trader, that says most people get into trouble because of using too much leverage.
