Not risikier per se, but a lot easier to leverage up. The risk comes from not understanding the power and risk of leverage. Many "play" forex at 50x or 100x and blow up their accounts every now and then.Quote from crgarcia:
So, forex is riskier than stocks?
Remember the -7% overnight AUDJPY move just 2 weeks ago? That must have annihilated 100,000's of leveraged retail Forex accounts in just 12 hours.
