Non-leveraged crypto trading with iforex

I wanna try non-leverage crypto trading and am looking forward to start doing this with iForex. Earlier I traded cryptos with leverage. You know as a rule brokers provide a relatively small leverage to trade cryptos but in most cases it’s enough to lose money cuz even a minor market move can kick you out of the market.
After intense leveraged trading, I decided to move to non-leveraged crypto trading because the results I achieved were not steady, but I needed exactly stability.
I have nearly decided to open an account with iforex to trade digital coins with no leverage but I wanna know if there are any pitfalls about non-leverage crypto trading you could share with me if you don’t mind.
I tested it on a demo account. On one hand it all looks very simple. Very small leverage allows not to be afraid of drawdowns but you need big margin to work with this leverage and a great deal of patience. Is there a smart way out? I mean the possibility to work with smaller trades with this leverage.

I think that non-leveraged trading is the best thing for trader but unfortunately not everyone can afford it because non-leveraged requires big margin. Therefore, you are expected to trade bigger amounts and most likely you will not have free margin for extra trades or urgent withdrawals. That’s the price you need to pay for more relaxed trading nearly invulnerable to sudden pullbacks.
As for the biggest pitfall here, it’s the same as with leveraged trading. If you make a wrong market forecast, you can lose money but no leverage gives you enough time to timely stop your trade. With big leverage, you might not have this time. On the other hand, even with no leverage, you may open a trade in the wrong direction and set for a journey. Overtime when you get back, you will see a zero depo. So, no leveraged trading with any broker doesn’t mean that you can afford yourself being careless.

The very fact that I have more time to exit the market if something goes wrong is one more thing that attracts me to non-leveraged trading. I know how tricky leverage can be and sometimes it’s too late to do smth to save your money cuz your depo is burnt in a couple of minutes if you use big leverage. I want to be on the safe side and hope non-leveraged trading will help.

I guess the main question is how long are you've been trading. Because if you have some experience there's no need to risk with leverage - you still can do the same profit with your own money. But if not it's a perfect chance to increase your account. On the other hand I know a lot of advanced traders use so-called "accelerate strategy". They start with small accounts and make it much bigger in very short time using leverage. But usually they only do it to increase deposit to exact size and then trade with less risk. So whether you're advanced trader or a newbie - it all depends on what amount of money are you ready to risk.

Assume it depends on how much money are you ready to risk. Because if you have the your last money on your deposit, your trading will not be risky. And if you have like some funds on your deposit and a big loss wil not entirely affect your financial wealth - then you sure choose more risky strategy and get a leverage.
Anyway I like to think that smart usage of leverage could be a conservative way in crypto

Absolutely agree. It's often comes as "professional usage only", but for me leverage is just a tool and if you can master it - good.
Of course there's big risk, but profit could grow in proportion too. I don't know why, but leverage often percieved as a scary thing, but on the other hand nobody's afraid of futures. In fact it's the same leverage, but only with smaller scale.

I think it's necessery thing - not to trade with leverage while you are still a beginner. Nevertheless i know some people who started with leverage and doing well. But it's all about psychology. For example futures give you the same effect, but it feels different to trade with it

Of course that depends on person. But as for the begginers, they are better not involve theirselves into leverage. And one of the reasons is they can be lucky and make profit out of their leveraged deals.

What fo you mean saying that begginers could have problems if they are lucky to profitably close a deal?

Well, I tried to trade with leverage at iforex recently and did a not big profit. Does it mean anything bad? Still - it's profit

No no, of course not. What I was trying to say is that newcomers are learning on their mistakes and luck is a bad teacher from that point of view. Newbies don't understand that it is better to have small gradual profit, than a big one-punch earnings.
If they are lucky to have their first leveraged deals profitable, they could think it is a system and use it more, but they don't know the pitfalls or even the correct usage of it. So it could cause a great loss one day and a dissapointment in a trading as a consequence

It makes sense. From that point of view futures are more suitable for begginiers

Returning to the discussiobn - true, it is a kind of safer instrument, because you only operate with particular amount of product, but not the bigger sum of money.

Yep. I guess the main advantage of futures is you can't lose more money than you already have.

That's right. I guess some traders underestimate futures thus using leverage where it is necessary and not.
For example futures on USD that has a 1000 dollars as an underlying asset allows you to operate one thousand dollars with much lesser deposit due to margin, whether trading an underlying asset directly would require at least 1000 dollars on your account. In this regard, you can make much bigger profit with lesser risk and equal amount of deposit.

I think I could agree. But there is still some assets with no futures available. I think that type of products can be considered for long term investments. From that point of view iforex has a nice conditions to such products.

Speaking of long term investments and crypto, I would say it is a perfect time now to make attachments in one. Nice time for those who haven't done it before.

I used to trade crypto at iForex earlier because I liked the conditions at iForex. It is suitable now too, but I just can't see any potential in crypto for now smh.

I don’t know, if we get back to the topic of our discussion I think iForex non-leveraged crypto trading has a lot of potential.
Think about it. We have a forex broker that is not considered as a place for holding crypto per say. However, trading without leverage is exactly like this, except you don’t own the actual coin, as well as stocks.

I don’t get it. What do you mean exactly like holding crypto? iForex is not a crypto exchange, as far as I’m concerned. Maybe I missed something.
