Its not risky if you really know what you are doing. But the problem is usually people would think they know everything after spending 5 hours per day trading for a straight one year. Serioulsy you would need much much more than that. Not to mention to actually fix your brain..the way you think. Well once you have a proven system that suits you then trading is no longer crazy risky. The risk are still there but it would be just normal risk.
