I'm trying to figure out how many units to buy, and I have been under the assumption that leverage would somehow effect how many untis I could buy.

It would be simple to say I a pip is worth X, so I am willing to lose 50x per trade, but if I am using leverage - I thoguht the leverage would multiply the risk.

If I buy stocks on margin, it changes the number of shares I can buy. It doesn't work the same way with Forex?
