When starting in forex, I was surprised at how much attention is given to losses. Everywhere there are warnings that trading with leverage is high risk. The statistics are also clear — more than 75% of retail accounts lose money trading CFDs. For someone just beginning, it shows that losses are not an exception but a very common result. I think beginners need to know these numbers in advance so they don’t start with false expectations.
What beginners must know about forex losses

The provider states clearly that forex and CFDs are leveraged instruments, and because of that, the risk of losing money is extremely high. Losses can even be greater than the amount invested. Beginners often overlook this and risk more than they can afford. On roboforex, the risk warnings explain that CFDs are complex and not suitable for everyone, especially for those without enough understanding of the potential losses. Knowing this is essential before opening any position.

It’s also important to remember that the provider advises traders not to begin unless they fully understand the scale of possible losses and risks. This means losses are not just a theoretical warning but something that can affect most accounts. Newcomers must take this into account and only start trading after accepting that risk of losing funds is part of the process.
