From the above Leverage for Beginners example you as a trader can see that the more gold trading leverage which you as a trader use the more the profit or loss & the less leverage you use the lesser the profit or losses.

It is therefore better for you as a trader to use less gold trading leverage so as to minimize & reduce risks involved. The greater the leverage ratio used the greater the risks. This is one of the trading leverage guidelines not to trade with more than 5:1 leverage.

In gold trading leverage guidelines: It is advisable to keep below 10:1 leverage which's also still high, most and many professional money managers use 2:1 meaning that they only trade 2 contracts/lots for every $100,000 in their xauusd account.
