Is investing in the forex market risky?

[skrimon]

Trading on the foreign exchange market carries with it a high degree of danger.

 

Techniques can be used to reduce the impact of the risks, but they cannot prevent a trader from incurring losses. Forex trading is not for the faint of heart; only those who thrive on uncertainty should even contemplate getting involved.

 

But no one else should even think about it. Market risks stem from factors including volatility, market circumstances, the global economic environment, the economic conditions (particularly of the world's greatest economies), the political conditions (particularly those which affect globally), counterparty risks, leverage, etc.

 

A trader who is well-versed in both trading and risk management might benefit from risk management to help them manage market risks.

A trader's skill set should include risk management and the ability to keep their emotions in check. A trader's chances of making a profit are nil otherwise.

 

Therefore, one must make an informed decision as to whether or not to engage in foreign exchange trading.
