I believe you're quite right in such notion as high leverage can cause big losses in case a trader doesn't comply risk management techniques. In my opinion, these things such as risk management and money management practices should be taught in the very first educational steps, you know. If there is any educational content, then these practices must be described right behind the meaning of forex. Of course, no doubts, risk management practices are individual, however I mean that general informaition about them should be described. High leverage is for those who mastered risk management practices and who has lotsof experience in trading. Otherwise, novices would better stay off leverages at all.
