Definitely risky but the good thing is that the risk can easily be minimized which makes things even better as the case may be. As long as you have the skills and knowledge, then you are sure going to be ending up fine and good, but the problem is not having these attributes, knowledge and skills to trade effectively and then expecting to get the best from it.

Anything anyone cannot sacrifice for at first to learn so as to do better will always set the person into a huge risk which makes it easy for them to lose everything at the end.
