I am interested in forex trading. Is there more risk associated with forex trading than with option trading? Can you do the same safety trades with forex as with options i. E. Spreads and other trading techniques? Thanks and looking forward. After looking around, I learned — Forex is often more riskier than options simply because with Forex you have no right to avoid a non-hedged loss position, but instead this loss will be realized in your hands. On the other hand with options you're granted the right to avoid a loss position by not exercising the option. Therefore Forex is often more riskier than options. Hedging positions, may become complicated, therefore you'll need guidance from a an experienced mentor.

Forex is 100x's more risky than Options. No you can't do typical strategies like Verticals, Butterflies, etc. There are some techniques where you can offset/hedge with other pairs. . . . . . but you're years away from being able to employ them now (as a novice). . . . . and the risk is higher (since it can't be defined/limited).
yes there are more risks with forex but that can mean more profit. you could try using a forex trading robot to decrease you chances of losing money and improve your chances of making considerable profit.

I say the risk is pretty much the same really. Nothing riskier than others. Especially when you don't have any idea of what you are trading on
