Yes, you can choose to trade forex with only the capital in your trading account and not leverage your trades. This is suitable for traders, who want to gain more experience in markets and strategies without risking their whole deposit and don’t aim to earn a living in forex.
Because you’d be controlling less money, both the potential returns and losses would be smaller.
To change your leverage to a 1:1 ratio, you need:
- Have at least a $1,000 balance on your trading account;
- Create a request under Trading Platforms Settings.
Tip: In order for your request to be successfully processed, please make sure that you do not have open orders on the trading account.
