Forex mostly, because it has a history of traders/banks gambling with leverage. Also in the early days of PC trading there was a ton of bucket shops and boiler rooms that would take advantage of forex traders. Plus Forex has alot of swings compaired to equities. Most people that say that forex is risky are most likely buy and hold equities traders. If you learn risk managment, support and resistance, watch your round numbers and news releases its like trading anything else. Those old buy and hold equities traders are a thing of the past, they think they are 'up' but only manage to stay breakeven with inflation. Best of luck, demo trade first
