Forex is really risky if you dont know how to manage it.Demo accounts are good way to learn and you must also consider trading live on a small account you can afford to lose to really got a feel and practice how to manage risks.If you lose,then just consider it as your learning fee.Trading live,in my opinion will actually test your emotion factor whereas demo account will not because you know your just using a dummy money account.

No Risk No gain, no guts no glory :) this doesnt mean you cant do some research and see the trends to manage reduce risk. With some fundamental/technical analysis this is already reducing some risk, otherwise its just forex gambling

I agree thats why we should learn and apply risk management when trading.

Leverage is one of the reasons why we earn and why we did not earn in the trading right. But prankly speaking, all of us want to make sure that the return is more than what we invested. Its doing more money through the amount that we invested. This is where risk management enters.

Since Forex market is really not that stable as it moves and changes every now and then, contanst monitoring is very crucial. In this way you can develop a good strategy as to when to pplace the trade. Good money management is given. It is also a crucial thing to be noted.

It would be risky if you don't know how to use proper risk management.
