How much risk involved in Forex Trading?

[dupapa]

100% of your inital deposit is at risk

but largly Risk is defined by how you apply your yourself to the market, generally though as an asset class its pretty wild west

Like all investments there are risks. In Forex your account is leveraged, so you can be exposed to losing your entire account. This can happen if the broker is unable to close out your order, during a flash crash or when the Swiss frank was no longer pegged against the euro. Alpari UK went bust because of that and people lost their entire accounts.

I agree with dupapa, 100% of your inital deposit is at risk. And losses may also exceed investment capital.
