Forex trading is promoted all over the Internet. Usually the highest leverage is advertized.
Actually, the forex market is less volatile that stock indices - our quantitative analysis of historical prices proves this fact.
What makes the forex trading risky is the use of high leverage (low margin). We consider leverage over 1:10 (margin less than 10%) to be moderate-aggressive for trading and top-high for investing.
The typical leverage used by professional FX traders is limited to 1:40/50 (margin around 2%). The leverage 1:100 (margin 1%) is very aggressive - you should NEVER go over it.
Use of leverage more than 1:100 (margin requirements less than 1%) is absolutely unacceptable for trading.
If you use this leverage - consider yourself buying a lottery ticket - you chances to loose all your account is over 99%
