Disadvantages of Forex trading

High Leverage
While high leverage serves as an advantage to attract traders to the market, it can at times also act as a disadvantage for them. With such high levels of leverage available to traders in the Forex market, comes an equally high level of danger.
This can be true for the high stake positions which carry along with them, too much risk, leading to margin calls. This is where efficient money management comes into play for playing safe.

24 hours market
Although it is convenient for the trader to trade whenever it is suitable to him, it can be a rather tough job too. This is because, at times, it is not possible for an individual trader to keep track of the Forex market, 24 hours a day.
This is where a broker comes into the picture. Retail or individual investors should try taking help from a professional broker rather than doing all the dealings himself straight with the huge market.
The broker will be an experienced professional who will act as an equal in your transactions, keeping you informed and updated about minute to minute details and fluctuations, and even guide you about the conditions, when to and when not to trade in the market.
Like every other financial market, Forex market also has its share of advantages and disadvantages. But keeping in mind the two can surely help a trader become more vigilant and aware of what to expect while trading Forex.
