If you choose true LP, risk will be minimized. High leverage is attractive for newbies, but most of them do not know rules of game. Because of that, 1:100 leverage is perfect for newbies to minimize the risk

Probably the same reason why it is highly profitable
It is commonly believed that Forex is a risky and guaranteed high-yield market. The ubiquitous advertising tries to convince us that even beginners can earn 100 percent a year without any problems.
This statement could be left out of criticism if it weren't coming from brokers who are primarily interested in their own profits, not yours. High returns at Forex are associated with a high risk of losing invested capital.
You must always remember about it. Whoever wants to earn more, puts his capital at greater risk. However, on the Forex market, you can earn 1000% a year, not to mention the 100% income!
Everything will depend on the strategy with the right risk/return ratio. Well-designed risk management in the Forex market can bring tangible benefits.
The regularity is as follows: the higher the income, the higher the risk of capital loss. The ratio is as follows: with returns of 100% - the risk is 95%, with returns of 1000% - you risk 99.99%.

Actually, money management is the key part here! We can’t sustain here with high risk reward ratios!

Some traders make a lot of money trading forex, they are a small percentage though. However they don't post about it. We only hear about the bad stories.

Of course, any trade is risky, but the odds of loss in forex trading are slightly higher. Forex is one of the world's largest and most liquid marketplaces. And traders deal with big sums of money, at any time a trade can go against you. So, it is necessary to manage risk accordingly.

Trading is quite risky, whether you're trading in Forex or stocks, or anything in general. Because one small mistake will cost your funds and trust me, no one wants to ever face a situation like that.
Until you are experienced, it is best to keep on practicing in the demo and find a way to maximize the risk management strategy.

Forex is only risky when you do not have enough knowledge about how to trade. The main reason why more and more traders flock to the Forex markets is that they do not consider the basic parameters in trading and get moved by their emotions. Forex trading is based on logic.

Most forex products are highly leveraged and that is the reason they are considered risky.

Forex is risky because if you trade big you lose money, if you trade small you waste your time.

Did you mean the successful traders? Actually, they don’t focus on their profit, they just focus on the process!

Forex is risky becasue most come to it with hopes of getting rich quick and start overtrading or overleveraging. They usually don't learn a strategy and test it for a few months. If you take time and learn a strategy that suits your lifestyle and then trade it on a few months on a demo to get confident and see the patterns it will be much better. Also the lack of capital is big problem. Most start with under 1k account, which is a ticking time bomb. If you want to trade and make it I think you need at least 5k, better is 10k and start small with 0.01 to 0.10 lot max, to get in the market and see the patterns and all cycles. And to always sefl-develop and focus on mental strenght, because trading is not hard, problem is risk management and mental strenght to stay in trade or to close at loss etc. Once you trading becomes boring and routine then you know you are amongst that 1% that is winning.

Forex is very risky business because of its volatility I think we can lose more money than profit because more of us trade forex because of money and most of new traders involve in greed and want to become rich in some days after trading.

Don’t take too much risk in your trading. Signal generation will be possible for you when you know the exact ways of using indicators. Earning knowledge on how to use indicators properly should be the first and foremost target of traders.

I think the biggest risk is people not sticking to a solid risk management plan. How many of us have let our emotions get ahold of us and moved stop losses when we knew better?

Forex trading entails buying and selling different currencies in order to profit. It is regarded as risky due to the high volatility of the currency market, which is fueled by unpredictable economic events and geopolitical tensions. Furthermore, leverage can magnify gains and losses, making it critical for traders to thoroughly understand the market and effectively manage their risk. In some markets, a lack of regulation adds to the risk factor. Because of these factors, forex can be a high-risk, high-reward investment.
