You can't short mind.

You want to trade an asset that moves about 2-4% a year without leverage?

You can trade without leverage, if you have the opportunity to invest your personal funds in large amounts

Yes it is very possible and you can ask your broker to provide you no leverage at all. But the returns will definitely not be worth it and you will still be vulnerable. You would first of all need a huge amount of capital for your trading, which most traders don’t have. A trader is most likely be tempted to take bigger risks to get better returns, but that will certainly expose him to huge losses also. Most traders recommend leverage of 50:1 or 100:1 and always calculate what percentage of your capital you want to risk before entering the trade. Generally it is not recommended to trade without leverage as one lot consists 100K units.

[Coner1980]

Yes, you can trade without leverage but for this purpose you need to have a lot of money to play with.

 

[Devin larrson]

Of course you can and as everybody said make sure that you have own sufficient money.

The main downside of trading Forex without leverage is that it is simply not accessible for most traders. Forex trading without leverage means that changes in the price of an asset directly influence the trader's bottom line. With no leverage Forex trading you would probably only make some profit in a month.
