Forex leverage and margin

A simple quick explanation in one minute

Can u show me how is higher leverage "no good" in the event of a losing trade? e.g. Two traders have the same initial account balance, open the same trade (same currency pair)with same trade size (i.e. same no. of lots). Only difference is Trader A uses 50:1 leverage and Trader B uses 200:1 leverage. Let's say the trade is in loss by 60 pips, how does it affect the account balance of each trader? Thanks for your advice.
