Forex is too risky, so why you still doing trading?

Emotion is a factor that is giving great impact to the trader. A trader must learn how to control their emotions to avoid losses, including increased.no pain no gain...

"Forex is too risky?" I don't agree with this. I think it is very helpful to the ones who knows how to deal with this , how to take the benefit out of it. Although it is little bit risky but the good aspects of it are many. So i have decided to trade with it.

The forex course is very serious, but we can succeed where given to us that Alchrotaulha to be fully aware of the market and its mechanisms and how to move and not to use the robot and not greed and calm the nerves and not to rush so as not to destroy ourselves really !!!

yes, i am agree with this post that forex trading is so risky but if you trade with much analysis it will not so risky on the other hand if you are eligible for analyse in forex market it will be so risky.thanks

From my point of view, forex trade is risky. But every business and trade have risk. I'm like addicted to forex trading once I joined it since 2 and a half years later. For me anything to do with money is risky. Thus every business shall not be take for granted. Money is at stake.

Leverage is risky not forex or trading.

Every investment with high leverage is risky.It can be gold/silver,real estate,cattle,house or trading.
Basics of leverage is how much money you put upfront and how much money you borrow to make an investment.

Say,you want buy a flat in Mumbai worth 2 Cr as an investment hoping the rate will go up to 6Cr in 3 years.But you have only 50 Lakhs money with you.So,you talk to a Banker friend who will lend you rest of 1.5Cr in return of modest return of 10%(just assume).
Suppose after end of the 3 yrs you are right and property is worth 6 crores. Out of the 4 crore profit you will pay back 2 Cr( 1.5cr principal and 0.5 Cr interest) and keep the rest of 2 Crore with you.

So,you invested 50 lakh and got 2.5Cr.

In the other case say property price comes down by 20 Lakhs due to economic slow down. But,you have to pay the loan back to the bank anyway after 3 years.
After paying interest of 0.5 Cr interest + loan 1.5 Cr,you are left with 1.8Cr-1.5Cr-0.5= -20 Lakh

Net 70 lakh loss.


Remove the interest component and apply the same to forex or any kind of option/futures trading with leverage.(Actually there is interest component in forex called SWAP)

Leverage magnifies gain/loss.
Forex,Futures,commodity even stocks options (Call/put) have high leverage has same degree of risk.
Forex is not different from any other kinds of investment as such.

Only thing is forex brokers allow kids to play(over leverage) with 10$ which others might not allow

Forex is risky to whom who do not know much forex. it is easy for merchants of good. I think all people come on forex make money for myself. So the first time you think it's too risky to enter this profession. but when you have found a way to win it will be like playing pc games. because it is a business and no business is easy thats why most people say that Forex is too risky.

I guess all smart business is forex or might not still have a risk solely within the forex business risk is larger however admire the advantages to be gained. i feel the losses are common in business and while not loss we'll never learn and can take into account ourselves was nice. therefore loss isn't a tangle as a result of there are lessons we will take

I agree with you. Yea Forex is too risky. But Forex is also not risky. It will be a maximum time profitable. Even though Forex is risky but I can’t live it. Now I still am doing the trading. Because, I can earn a lot of money . I can lead a smart life. So I still do trading

Risk is exist in all the fields of life and even in very business.. But in forex the risk volume is high.. But i am confident in my working and getting this carry on because in Forex i am making money ..
