Title: BTC- MT4 leverage
Post by: toomsie on November 16, 2013, 11:58:30 AM
I had a look at MT4 client for BTCE. I noticed the mention of leverage, which is a Forex thing.
BTC doesn't have leverage. Leverage is dangerous

BTC market might be highly attractive for Forex newbies but generally most Forex users are suckers. That's why I am in a bitcoin forum not trading forex.

"Leverage" is just a word used to denote an increase in both the risk and reward of your investment. Buying a mining rig/mining shares with BTC is leverage, buying futures on ICBIT is leverage, betting on BTC to reach a certain price on betsofbitcoin is leverage.

Leverage isn't a 'forex' thing and it isn't necessarily dangerous, its just risky. Although most forex trading platforms are for suckers, charging huge margins.
