Many websites claim that Forex trading is very safe and you have 50% of winning in the Forex market. While part of the claim is true, I do not really think so and I think that it is necessary for the beginners to identify the possible dangers of Forex trading.

In order to trade in the Forex market, you will need to set up a trading account through a Forex broker. When you are trading through the Forex broker and when you make any entry, you have already lost some money in the beginning. This is because the Forex broker takes profit from the spread (the difference between buy and sell).

Therefore, before you even started to trade, you have already lose some money. Of course, the spread is very small and you lose very little money. However, if you have no prior experience in Forex and do not have any skill, turning a initial loss to a huge profit will be a difficult task to you.

Moreover, if you do not have basic trading and technical analytical skill, you are exposed to the dangers of Forex trading such as marginal call. Marginal call happens when you have insufficient fund in your account to support your loss. As a result, you cannot wait for the prices to recover, and the broker will automatically cancel all your entry, thus incurring a huge loss to you.
