You can't trade without leverage. Moves are too small. It would only be institutional players without leverage.
Will you still trade if If there is no leverage in Forex ?

I know somebody who "trades" like that, but holds his "position" for a year or more depending on the ccy he is switching into or out of.
He is quite good at it.

Why do people ask dumb hypothetical questions?
If a bull were as docile as cows, would you pet one?
If drinking Drano wouldn't kill you, would you drink it?
If flowers were not pretty do you think people would still plant them in their gardens?
Some of you people really make me wonder......

the first thing that came to mind is damn I'd stop trading with no leverage, it will be a bit meaning less for us small time retailers i guess 
the answer is absolutely not. Since currencies are traded in pips, as one is 1:10,000, you need to have the ability to for leverage otherwise you would need huge amounts of money and your return on investment (ROI) would not worth the risk.

It depends. To keep risk in the sane limits (say 1-2% of the account equity) when trading longer-term from daily/weekly charts, you almost don't need leverage anyway, because 100-200 pips stop-loss @ 1:1 leverage would already be equal to 1-2% risk per trade.
