Ask Warren Buffett. He does that.

Can I trade forex without leverage/margin? When my costs exceed the money I have a deposit in my account and now want to use my own money to trade in the fx market,

 

[ElectricSavant]

If you trade a system and you do not change the way you trade...then leverage allows you to deposit less to accomplish the same.

I don't see how high leverage increases the possibility to earn. I use Forexchief that offers 1:1000 leverage, but that does not mean if I use it, I'll get more winning trades. Your strategy is what increases your possibility to earn. Leverage only helps you increase the volume of your trade, which could affect you positively or negatively.

It'll be virtually impossible to lose trading with low or no leverage because you have to be too unlucky to buy on global top or sell in global through

Nobody forces you to trade with certain instruments, you must determine for yourself what you need.

With low leverage you simply smooth the risk in time, since to make returns proportionate to returns made with leverage, you have to spend more time in trading which increases probability of getting extreme adverse event

Leverage is not a required factor in order to trade forex.
