It is only risky if you are not aware of the market or if you don't know how it works. If you hae all the knowlede to trade then you an do it without a risk. Anyway, all things involving money has a risk so youjust really gotta do what you want to do. There is no point in not risking if you want to move forward.
You have a point in this matter, risk is depend on how are we going to handle it, if we do not manage properly or precisely we might encounter that risky, but if we do it correctly, risk is nothing. Though in business risk is always a part of it. Especially in when we do trade in the exchange platform.
