why forex is so risky?

risk is everywhere in Forex its a very common thing , there is no one who can deny but if you have proper money and risk management then within a very short time you can bring good amount of profit from here.

Forex is basically risky for those traders who don't have proper knowledge and skills about trading.

High leverage, 24/5 trading opportunity, small time frames make trading very risky. Due to all these facilities people make themselves so engaged in trading. As a result they develop all the bad habits a trader can have.

I really would not recommend newbies to trade under such conditions, especially not all at once.

Money management is extremely important in trading. By far most of individuals slump in trading since they don't take after incredible money management rules. You can't risk more than 2% of your capital. You can take one trade or a couple but total risk should not outperform 2% of your capital.

Very true, I would also add trading without a plan, without stop-loss, and with money that you cannot afford to lose to that list.

Forex is very risky market for you if you don't have any basic knowledge about this market.

If proper money management and risk can be maintained then trading success is possible. To control the risk, you have to trade at a 1: 2 risk-reward, and no more than 2% risk can be taken.

Higher the risk, higher will be the profit. That is why we are doing it.

Yes forex trading is indeed risky but it is not impossible if a trader has a sound trading strategy with proper money management knowledge then everything is possible.

Forex trading is very volatile in nature, which in translate the difficulty of grasping the correct pairs for trading. One wrong move can lead to loss of the money which is why it is very risky game. But if you do have a good risk management and money management along with risk reward ratio, you will be in a good hands. But it is not a guarantee.

there is no one in this market place who can
avoid losses in spite of having good knowledge and experience , so sometimes of course we have to face losses , no way to deny.

With so many advantages inherent with forex trading there are some risks involved with it that one must consider and then trade carefully.

Forex is a trading place where anyone can bring good knowledge and experience but of course first of all have to make sure regular practice including patience.

knowledge is so much expensive and it should be gather with slow motion , but i have seen the traders alwatys try to bring knowldge with very short time which is completly immature decsion.

Anything that has money involved, will definitely come with some sort of risks. Forex is risky no doubt given the type of volatility it has. Also, it is too vast to know it completely, many traders are at a risk of falling short of plans and ideas too because of lesser knowledge.

Yes. I agree with you, Most traders fail in the market because of their low knowledge.

That is true, but I would add that traders also lose because of shady broker practices.

FX trading is only as risky as the trader wants it to be. The trader decides what risks he is comfortable with an then implements them. It is not about the market, its about the person who is trying to exploit it. The sooner people realize this, the faster success will come for them. With that said, there are not many people that can be consistently profitable. And even most of profitable ones have strategies with low efficiency where risks dont outweigh returns.

If one is a newbie they don't really have the knowledge to choose their risk.
