杨天意律师指出判断刑事风险的两个关键因素：
Lawyer Yang Tianyi points out two key factors in determining criminal risk:

- Legitimacy of forex source: Forex transactions with genuine trade backgrounds usually do not constitute criminal offenses but may face administrative penalties
- 交易营利性：以营利为目的的外汇买卖，金额超过500万或非法所得超过10万可能构成非法经营罪
- Profit-making nature of transactions: Forex trading for profit-making purposes, with amounts exceeding 5 million yuan or illegal gains exceeding 100,000 yuan, may constitute the crime of illegal business operations
