This is a common question. The general rule seems to be that if your risk of loss is high, you are not investing; you are trading. This is usually an early part of the sales pitch from a money manager.

Another critical change that most individual investors do not understand is that big banks and hedge funds now use large computer systems running “algorithms” to do most of the trading. Did you know that 70% and 80%+ of all trading today uses computerized algorithms? It is tough for us to complete all of that.
We are going to show you some solutions to these challenges. It is called “Modern Trading”.
